EPSUIFactory is a class which provides factory methods for common configurations of UIKit controls. Some examples are:

• UILabel
• UITextField set up for email entry
• UITextField set up for password entry
• UIView set up to be used as the container view in a UIScrollView which should only scroll vertically

All views returned by EPSUIFactory are ready to be used with auto layout (ie. they have translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints set to NO.)

Usage

Factory Methods

- (void)viewDidLoad {
  [super viewDidLoad];

  UITextField *passwordField = [EPSUIFactory passwordTextField];
  [self.view addSubview:passwordField];
  // Add some constraints on `passwordField`
  ...
}

For complete documentation of the methods available, see EPSUIFactory.h.

UIView+EPSAutoLayout

There is an included category on UIView which makes setup for views not included in the factory methods easier. Use eps_initForAutoLayout instead of initWithFrame: when you are creating a view for use with auto layout. For example:

UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] eps_initForAutoLayout];

is equivalent to

UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
