autolayout + vfl integration with famo.us

[trusktr]

when someone would do this! Nice!! ✨

Can you add some docs on how to use this in a Famous project? (main.js is informative though. Super awesome.)

Hi, I'm going to make an integration for famo.us real soon :)
Actually, the (my) whole purpose of autolayout.js was to bring autolayout and VFL to famo.us.
For now, you can have a look at src/vflToLayout which you can use to convert vfl to a layout function which can be used by a famous-flex LayoutController.

I saw that. This is very awesome!!!

Hi, I've added an instruction on how to get started with VFL and famo.us here:

This is great stuff @IjzerenHein!! 👍 Can't wait for the Mixed Mode version. 😄

[IjzerenHein]

I've got it up & running, should be real soon now!

[IjzerenHein]

Alright, mixed mode is now supported :)

Let me know what you build with it.
I have tons of exotic VFL examples that I have already build for clients.

Looking forward to trying it. :)

It has already completely changed my workflow. Complex layouts that needed to scale to any device and changed on a nearly daily basis were taking most of my time. Now it's done in just minutes.

Just throw that in the visual format editor:

//--viewport aspect-ratio:16/9
//shapes avatar:circle
//shapes page1:circle page2:circle page3:circle page4:circle page5:circle
//colors title:#FFF message:#282B2D button:#48E0A4
