Initial attempt to get display traits working with ASEnvironment.
To get proper ASDisplayTraits support, you must use an ASViewController. The ASViewController implements UITraitCollection-related methods (`traitCollectionDidChange:`, `willTransitionToTraitCollection:withTransitionCoordinator:`, viewWillTransitionToSize:withTransitionCoordinator`) to update the internal ASDisplayTraits and propagate them to subnodes.
ASTableNode and ASCollectionNode don't actually have their cells as subnodes, so a little bit of trickery is involved (on `setEnvironment:` the table/collection node gets its data controllers completedNodes and propagates the new traits. see `ASDisplayTraitsCollectionTableSetEnvironmentState`). The data controller also passes the current display traits when creating new cells.
ASViewController also supports the ability to return a custom set of display traits. So if you have a modal dialog that should always be told it is in a compact size class, you can set the override block before displaying the VC.
A new example, called Display Traits, has been added. It shows how display traits can be used in a ASViewController with a normal ASDisplayNode as its root, as well as in ASViewControllers hosting table nodes and collection nodes. There is also an example of overriding the default display traits of a VC.
Please provide feedback!
subclasses of ASViewController to specify the type of ASDisplayNode it
contains which allows for stronger type-checking and auto-completion against
the specified type.
Example Subclass Declaration:
@interface MyASViewController : ASViewController<MyASDisplayNodeSubclass *>
@end
This provides internal features on _ASAsyncTransaction and ASDisplayNode to facilitate
implementing public API that allows clients to choose if they would prefer to block
on the completion of unfinished rendering, rather than allow a placeholder state to
become visible.
The internal features are:
-[_ASAsyncTransaction waitUntilComplete]
-[ASDisplayNode recursivelyEnsureDisplay]
Also provided are two such implementations:
-[ASCellNode setNeverShowPlaceholders:], which integrates with both Tables and Collections
-[ASViewController setNeverShowPlaceholders:], which should work with Nav and Tab controllers.
Lastly, on ASDisplayNode, a new property .shouldBypassEnsureDisplay allows individual node types
to exempt themselves from blocking the main thread on their display.
By implementing the feature at the ASCellNode level rather than ASTableView & ASCollectionView,
developers can retain fine-grained control on display characteristics. For example, certain
cell types may be appropriate to display to the user with placeholders, whereas others may not.
Follow-up work will include unit tests, revisiting names, and the header locations of definitions.
