- -layoutSpecThatFits: must return an ASLayoutSpec.
- Move ASDisplayNode's -measureWithSizeRange: redeclaration to ASDisplayNode.h.
- Rename ASStackLayoutChild.h to ASStackLayoutDefines.h.
- Rename ASStaticLayoutSpecDimension.h to ASRelativeSize.h.
- Don't import ASLayout.h in other headers to prevent circular inclusions.
- Explain use cases of ASLayout's initializers.
- Clean up ASInternalHelpers.h.
- constrainedSizeForCalculatedLayout is of type ASSizeRange.
- calculatedLayout is better explained.
- Since ASLayout is cached and reused, its position property is mutable.
- ASLayoutable requires mutable properties that are used when attached to a stack layout.
- Thus, ASLayoutable objects (including ASDisplayNode) can be injected into stack layout directly.
- ASStackLayoutNodeChild no longer needed.
- Tests and Kitten sample updated.
- Both ASDisplayNode and ASLayoutNode conforms to this protocol.
- ASDisplayNode can be embeded directly into layout graph.
- Eliminate ASCompositeNode.
- Fix ASStaticSizeDisplayNode not recpect min constrained size.
- Updated tests.
- Introduce ASLayoutNode and its subclasses.
- ASDisplayNode measures its ASLayoutNode and cache the result (ASLayout). Calculated size and position of each subnode can be retrieved from the calculated layout.
- Custom nodes need to override -layoutNodeThatFits:(CGSize) instead of -calculateSizeThatFits:(CGSize).
- Custom nodes do not need to layout its subnodes (in -layout:) anymore. ASDisplayNode can handle the job most of the time, by walking through its layout tree.
- ASCompositeNode is used to embed (display) subnodes to a node's layout. That way, each subnode will also be measured while the parent node is measuring. And the parent node knows where its subnodes are within its layout.
- The code is forked from LayoutComponents in ComponentKit.
- Public interfaces are modified to be strictly Objective-C. As a result, users are not forced to switch to Objective-C++, the linker can happily compile and Swift fans can continue using the mighty ASDK.
These have been superseded by -[ASDisplayNode initWithViewBlock:] and
-[ASDisplayNode initWithLayerBlock:], respectively -- the new API allows
for custom initialisers, but does not support asynchronous display.
The old initialisers are still available in ASDisplayNodeInternal.h, for
internal subclasses and daring adventurers.
This adds new initializer methods to ASDisplayNode:
```objc
initWithViewBlock:(ASDisplayNodeViewBlock)viewBlock
initWithLayerBlock:(ASDisplayNodeLayerBlock)layerBlock
```
Sometimes a view can't be constructed with `-[initWithViewClass:]` but you want to use it with ASDK, so these new methods provide a way to wrap an existing view in a node.
The API is meant to preserve ASDisplayNode's behavior, so you can still construct and set properties on the node on a background queue before its view is loaded; even though the view was created a priori, it is not considered to be loaded until `node.view` is accessed.
Using the API looks like this:
dispatch_async(backgroundQueue, ^{
ASDisplayNode *node = [ASDisplayNode alloc] initWithViewBlock:^{
// Guaranteed to run on the main queue
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem];
[button sizeToFit];
node.frame = button.frame;
return button;
}];
// Use `node` as you normally would...
node.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
});
The main thing this bridging API doesn't do (can't do?) is layout. Methods like `-[ASDisplayNode calculateSizeThatFits:]` and `-[ASDisplayNode layout]` cannot delegate to `[UIView sizeThatFits:]` and `[UIView layoutSubviews]` since the UIView methods must run on the main thread. If ASDK were internally asynchronous and could dispatch its layout methods to different threads (sort of like how ASTableView computes its cells' layouts) then we could mark nodes with externally provided views/layers as having "main-queue affinity" and delegate its layout to UIKit.
Test cases are included and all existing tests pass.
ASDisplayNodes now have an overidable method -placeholderImage that lets you provide a custom UIImage to display while a node is displaying asyncronously. The default implementation of this method returns nil and thus does nothing. A provided example project also demonstrates using the placeholder API.
Postpone manual display until a future release when it can be called on any thread. Provide the current node manual display logic as a category on ASDisplayNode only available for ASRangeController. Deprecate -displayImmediately.
