Getting Started

In order to start using SnapLayout in your iOS projects, follow the steps below:

  1. Install SnapLayout using CocoaPods or manually download the library.
  2. Import SnapLayout into your Xcode project.
  3. Choose a layout strategy and implement it using SnapLayout’s APIs.

Installing with CocoaPods

To install SnapLayout using CocoaPods, add the following line to your project’s Podfile:

“`ruby
pod ‘SnapLayout’
“`

Then run pod install command in your terminal.

Manual Installation

If you prefer manual installation, follow these steps:

  1. Download the latest version of SnapLayout from the official GitHub repository.
  2. Drag and drop the SnapLayout framework into your Xcode project.
  3. Make sure to include the framework in your project’s target.

Layout Strategies

SnapLayout provides various layout strategies to build responsive interfaces with ease. Here are some commonly used layout strategies:

Auto Layout

Auto Layout is a powerful layout strategy provided by SnapLayout. It uses constraints to define the placement and size of views.

To use Auto Layout:

  1. Create a layout container view.
  2. Add subviews to the layout container view.
  3. Set the constraints between the subviews and the container view.
  4. Let SnapLayout handle the rest and automatically adjust the layout based on device size.

Stack Views

Stack Views is another useful layout strategy provided by SnapLayout. It allows you to stack views either horizontally or vertically.

To use Stack Views:

  1. Create a stack view.
  2. Add subviews to the stack view.
  3. Customize the stack view properties for spacing, alignment, and distribution.

Grid Layout

Grid Layout is a flexible layout strategy in SnapLayout that allows you to create grid-based interfaces.

To use Grid Layout:

  1. Create a layout container view.
  2. Add subviews to the layout container view and specify their positions within a grid.
  3. Let SnapLayout automatically adjust cell sizes based on device size.
