An approach to define reusable and composable UI styles.
Having some base styles defined you can use them like so:
final class TitleLabel: UILabel, TitleFontStyle {}
final class BodyLabel: UILabel, BodyFontStyle, MultilineLabelStyle {}
final class CaptionLabel: UILabel, CaptionFontStyle, MultilineLabelStyle {}
For a complete usage example see the Example project.
For the implementation details see Style.swift and RootStyle.swift.
Defining the UI style in code is good because it gives
- reproducible,
- reusable,
- and composable results.
Because we can do better. By avoiding the use of the appearance-proxy we can access all properties and methods (not only UI_APPEARANCE_SELECTOR and dynamic), and nested objects!
