cassowary



The Cassowary constraint solving toolkit is an open-source library that enables developers to add complex constraints to a user interface. It allows you to create flexible and responsive designs by defining relationships between different elements.



Key Features

  • Powerful constraint solving capabilities
  • Support for linear and non-linear constraints
  • Efficient algorithm for maintaining constraint satisfaction
  • Ability to handle thousands of simultaneous constraints
  • Support for incremental constraint solving
  • Platform-independent and works across different programming languages
  • Well-documented API and extensive examples



Getting Started

To begin using Cassowary, follow these steps:

  1. Install Cassowary using your preferred package manager. If you are using CocoaPods, add the following line to your Podfile:


pod 'cassowary'

  1. Import Cassowary into your project. If you are using Swift, add the following import statement:


import Cassowary

  1. Create constraints using the provided API by defining relationships between different elements.
  2. Solve the constraints and apply the resulting values to your user interface.
