YOCView 0.1.7

You want to add pod 'YOCView', '~> 0.1' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'YOCView', '~> 0.1'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try YOCView

YOCView 0.1.7

Simplifying UIView and UIViewController interactions.

Instead of making a UIViewController subclass and a UIView subclass, you create a YOCView subclass.

#import <YOCView/YOCView.h>

@interface MainView : YOCView
@end

To create a view controller use: [YOCViewController viewControllerForView:view];. For example in your AppDelegate you might do:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
  MainView *mainView = [[MainView alloc] init]; // Subclasses YOCView
  UIViewController *viewController = [YOCView viewControllerForView:mainView];
  UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController];
  self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
}

Then within your YOCView you can push, pop, present, dismiss by accessing self.navigation.

@implementation MyView

- (void)viewDidLoadWithLayout {
  [super viewDidLoadWithLayout];
  self.navigationTitle = @"Title";
}

- (void)pushAView {
  AnotherView *view = [[AnotherView alloc] init];
  [self.navigation pushView:view animated:YES];
}

- (void)presentAView {
  AnotherView *view = [[AnotherView alloc] init];
  [self.navigation presentView:view animated:YES];
}

- (void)popMyself {
  [self.navigation popViewAnimated:YES];
}

- (void)popToRoot {
  [self.navigation popToRootViewAnimated:YES];
}

- (void)dismissMyself {
  [self.navigation dismissAnimated:YES];
}

- (void)pushAViewHideNav {
  AnotherView *view = [[AnotherView alloc] init];
  view.viewOptions = YOCViewOptionsHideNavigation;
  [self.navigation pushView:view animated:YES];
}

@end

View Notifications

YOCView also gets the following notifications:

// Same as UIViewController notifications
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated;
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated;
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated;
- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated;
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews;
- (void)viewDidLoad;

// When your app becomes active and this view is shown (after resigning the app)
- (void)viewDidBecomeActive;
- (void)viewWillResign;

// Same as viewDidLoad but after its been layout'ed.
- (void)viewDidLoadWithLayout;

// View will appear but only ever called once (after load)
- (void)viewWillAppearAfterLoad:(BOOL)animated;

// View did appear but only ever called once (after load)
- (void)viewDidAppearAfterLoad:(BOOL)animated;

Accessing your UIViewController

Calling self.navigation.viewController will give you access to your UIViewController. For example, to show an alert:

@implementation MyView

- (void)showAlert {
  UIAlertController *alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"Oops" message:@"An alert view" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
  [alert addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"OK" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction *action) {
    [self.navigation.viewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
  }]];
  [self.navigation.viewController presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
}

@end
