New generators to integrate RMQ & ProMotion nicely
Our new generators allow you to create your ProMotion screen and stylesheet template to let you hit the ground running. Currently the following RedPotion generators exist:
potion g screen foo
potion g table_screen foo
potion g view foo
# All rmq generators work with the potion command as well
potion g model foo
potion g shared foo
potion g lib foo
# rmq controller generators also still exist
# but screens are preferred to get the redpotion value
potion g controller foo
potion g collection_view_controller foos
potion g table_view_controller bars
# RedPotion includes CDQ and afmotion by default, if you don't need these gems
# we have provided command line tasks to remove either of them
potion remove cdq
potion remove afmotion
New features for RMQ
find
is aliased to rmq
so you can use it for a more natural reading code:
find.all.hide
find(my_view).children.nudge(right: 10)
You can use app
directly in code, which is the same as rmq.app
So you also get window, device, and delegate from that.
app.device
app.window
app.delegate
You can use the following in a UIView or Screen or UIViewController without prefacing it with rmq
:
append
append!
prepend
prepend!
create
create!
build
build!
on
apply_style
reapply_styles
style
color
image
stylesheet
stylesheet=
Stylesheet in your screens
You can specify the stylesheet in your screen like so:
class HomeScreen < PM::Screen
title "RedPotion"
stylesheet HomeStylesheet
def on_load
end
end
rmq_build can now be called on_load
You can use either rmq_build or on_load, they do exactly the same thing. You can only use one or the other. on_load
is preferred as it matches the screen's onload.
class Section < UIView
def on_load
apply_style :section
append(UIButton, :section_button).on(:touch) do
mp "Button touched"
end
end
end
Remote image loading for UIImageView styler
You can set remote_image
to a URL string or an instance of NSURL
and it will automatically fetch the image and set the image (with caching) using the power of SDWebImage.
class MyStylesheet < ApplicationStylesheet
def my_ui_image_view(st)
# placeholder_image= is just an alias to image=
# Set the placeholder image you want from your resources directory
st.placeholder_image = image.resource("my_placeholder")
# Set the remote URL. It will be applied to the UIImageView
# when downloaded or retrieved from the local cache.
st.remote_image = "http://www.rubymotion.com/img/rubymotion-logo.png"
# or st.remote_image = NSURL.urlWithString(...)
end
end
In order to use this feature, you must add the SDWebImage
cocoapod to your project:
app.pods do
pod 'SDWebImage'
end
New features for ProMotion
