Driftwood is a DSL to make Auto Layout easy on iOS, tvOS and macOS.

Usage

Driftwood is easy to use, you can make full constraints satisfication in just a few code.

Let's say we want to layout a box that is constrained to it’s superview’s edges with 0pts of padding.

let box = UIView()
superview.addSubview(box)
box.dw.make().left(0).top(0).right(0).bottom(0)

Or another way:

let box = UIView()
superview.addSubview(box)
box.dw.make().edge(insets: .zero)

Attribute

All NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute cases are available in Driftwood.

Let's say view1 is at the bottom of view2, offset with 10pts.

view1.dw.make().top(10, to: view2.dw.bottom)

Full list of NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute:

Horizontal attribute property	Horizontal attribute function	NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute
dw.left	dw.make().left()	.left
dw.right	dw.make().right()	.right
dw.leading	dw.make().leading()	.leading
dw.trailing	dw.make().trailing()	.trailing
dw.centerX	dw.make().centerX()	.centerX
dw.leftMargin	dw.make().leftMargin()	.leftMargin
dw.rightMargin	dw.make().rightMargin()	.rightMargin
dw.leadingMargin	dw.make().leadingMargin()	.leadingMargin
dw.trailingMargin	dw.make().trailingMargin()	.trailingMargin

Vertical attribute property	Vertical attribute function	NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute
dw.top	dw.make().top()	.top
dw.bottom	dw.make().bottom()	.bottom
dw.centerY	dw.make().centerY()	.centerY
dw.lastBaseline	dw.make().lastBaseline()	.lastBaseline
dw.firstBaseline	dw.make().firstBaseline()	.firstBaseline
dw.topMargin	dw.make().topMargin()	.topMargin
dw.bottomMargin	dw.make().bottomMargin()	.bottomMargin
dw.centerYWithinMargins	dw.make().centerYWithinMargins()	.centerYWithinMargins

Size attribute property	Size attribute function	NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute
dw.width	dw.make().width()	.width
dw.height	dw.make().height()	.height

Relation & Multiply & Priority

• relation: default is .equal
• multiply: default is 1
• priority: default is .required

dw.make()

As you see above, you can use dw.make() to make full constraints easily.

dw.update()

You can use dw.update() to updating constant and priority value of a constraint.

view1.dw.update().top(200)

view2.dw.update().left(100, priority: .required)

dw.remake()

dw.remake() is similar to dw.make(), but will first remove all existing constraints installed by Driftwood.

view.dw.remake().left(20).top(30).width(20).height(10)

dw.remove()

You can use dw.remove() to removing any existing constraints installed by Driftwood.

view.dw.remove().left().top()

dw.removeAll()

Sometimes, you may just want to remove all constraints installed before. You can use dw.removeAll() to removing all existing constraints installed by Driftwood.

view.dw.removeAll()

LayoutGuide

Driftwood can works with LayoutGuide easily.

let guide = UILayoutGuide()
superview.addLayoutGuide(guide)
guide.dw.make().left(10).top(10).height(10).width(10)

let box = UIView()
superview.addSubview(box)
box.dw.make().top(0, to: guide.dw.bottom).left(0).right(0).height(10)

Cache

All constraints installed by Driftwood will be cached for future reuse.

Debug

You can labeled with a name to any View or LayoutGuide for debug.

view.dw.make(labeled: "MyView").left(0).left(0)

It will be logs like this:

<Driftwood.@ViewController#23.[make left].(UIView`MyView`:0x00007fc636525da0)>: Duplicated constraint.

If resulting Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints, it will be logs like this for each constraint installed by Driftwood:

<Driftwood.@ViewController#23.[make left].(UIView`MyView`:0x00007fc636525da0.left == UIView:0x00007fc636525111.right)>

NOTE: In release, Driftwood will not log debug info.
