Typically UIs are built using one or more UI frameworks which expose those widgets as high-level objects that can be manipulated programmatically. In addition most UI frameworks offer some sort of layout system that allows you to specify how those widgets should be laid out relative to each other. However there are some problems with this approach: * Every UI framework comes with its own set of widgets which means that every time you want your application available on another platform you need rewrite it using another UI framework. * Every UI framework comes with its own layout system which means that you need rewrite your layout logic when switching frameworks. * UI frameworks typically use different naming conventions for properties which means that you need rewrite your code when switching frameworks. * Many UI frameworks come with only one layout system which means that when your layout needs become more complex than what your framework offers you need rewrite your code. * Most UI frameworks only support declarative layouts (i.e., you define a static tree of widgets) which means that if your layout needs change dynamically (i.e., at runtime) you need rewrite your code. ## Solution OKRA solves these problems by providing: * A common set of basic widgets such as buttons or text fields. * A common layout system. * Common property names. It also provides higher-level abstractions such as: * Groups (i.e., containers) which allow you create arbitrary trees of widgets. * Layouts (i.e., constraints) which allow you express relationships between widgets. * Actions (i.e., callbacks) which allow you respond dynamically at runtime. These higher-level abstractions work seamlessly across all platforms supported by OKRA. ## Background OKRA is inspired by Apple’s Auto Layout system ([https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AutolayoutPG](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AutolayoutPG)) but it goes beyond it by supporting additional features such as: * Multiple platforms (iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS). * Multiple programming languages (Swift/Objective-C/C++). * Custom views/widgets. * Declarative programming. * Dynamic layouts (i.e., layouts can change at runtime). ## Usage ### Widget Creation Widgets can be created using either `widget()` or `widget(:name)`: swift let button = widget() let textField = widget("textField") The optional name parameter allows you identify your widget later when creating constraints. ### Group Creation Groups allow you create arbitrary trees of widgets: swift let button = widget("button") let textField = widget("textField") let group = group(button, textField) ### Constraint Creation Constraints allow you express relationships between widgets: swift let button = widget("button") let textField = widget("textField") // The top edge of `button` is aligned with // the top edge of `textField`. let topConstraint = constraint(button.top == textField.top) // The left edge of `button` is aligned with // the right edge + 10pt offset from `textField`. let leftConstraint = constraint(button.left == textField.right + 10) // The width + height of `button` should be // equal 100pt. let sizeConstraint = constraint(button.width + button.height == 100) ### Action Creation Actions allow you respond dynamically at runtime: swift let button = widget("button") // When `button` receives a touch event // print "Button was pressed". action(button.touchUpInside) { print("Button was pressed") } ### Layout Creation Layouts allow you combine groups & constraints into arbitrary layouts: swift let button = widget("button") let textField = widget("textField") // Align `button` above `textField`. let topConstraint = constraint(button.top == textField.top) // Align `button` left from `textField` + 10pt offset. let leftConstraint = constraint(button.left == textField.right + 10) // Set `button` width + height equal 100pt. let sizeConstraint = constraint(button.width + button.height == 100) // Combine groups & constraints into arbitrary layouts. layout(group(button, textField), topConstraint, leftConstraint, sizeConstraint) ### Layout Rendering Finally layouts need to be rendered by calling `.render()`: swift let layout = layout(...) layout.render() ## Implementation Details The following sections describe OKRA’s implementation details including: * Concepts & terminology used by OKRA. * Details about how OKRA works under-the-hood. ### Concepts & Terminology #### Widget A widget represents an object that can be manipulated programmatically by users. Widgets typically correspond to native platform views such as UIViews or UIViewControllers. #### Property A property represents a single value associated with a widget such as its size or position. Properties typically correspond to native platform properties such as frame or bounds. #### Constraint A constraint represents a relationship between two properties such as "the width should be equal height". Constraints typically correspond to native platform constraints such as NSLayoutConstraint objects. #### Action An action represents a callback triggered by events on one or more widgets such as "touch up inside". Actions typically correspond to native platform actions such as UIControlEventsTouchUpInside or UITextFieldDelegate methods. #### Layout System A layout system provides an API for creating groups & constraints & actions which can then be combined into arbitrary layouts. Layout systems typically correspond to native platform layout systems such as AutoLayout or UIKit Dynamics. ### Under-the-Hood Details OKRA works under-the-hood using several mechanisms including: #### Lazy Evaluation Lazy evaluation allows OKRA defer computation until it is actually needed which helps improve performance & reduce memory usage. #### Dynamic Dispatching Dynamic dispatching allows OKRA dynamically select appropriate code based on context which helps improve flexibility & extensibility. #### Metaprogramming Metaprogramming allows OKRA generate code at compile-time based on certain criteria which helps improve efficiency & reduce boilerplate code. ## Conclusion OKRA provides a universal way to build user interfaces by providing common set of basic widgets, common layout system & common property names across multiple platforms & programming languages. It also provides higher-level abstractions such as groups (i.e., containers), constraints (i.e., relationships between widgets), actions (i.e., callbacks) which allow users create arbitrary trees of widgets & express relationships between them dynamically at runtime. ## Example Code Here’s an example showing how OKRA can be used together with CocoaPods: swift import OKRA // Import OKRA module via CocoaPods dependency manager. import UIKit // Import UIKit module from Apple’s iOS SDK. class ViewController: UIViewController { // Define view controller class inheriting from UIViewController class provided by UIKit module. let label = UILabel() // Create UILabel instance provided by UIKit module representing label view displaying text message. override func viewDidLoad() { // Override viewDidLoad method called when view controller’s view hierarchy has been loaded into memory but before view appears on screen. super.viewDidLoad() // Call super implementation first passing control back up hierarchy chain before executing custom implementation below. let button = UIButton(type: .system) // Create UIButton instance provided by UIKit module representing button view triggering action when pressed. button.setTitle("Press me", for: .normal) // Set button title text message displayed normally when not pressed down nor highlighted nor disabled nor selected. button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.handleButtonPressed(_:)), for: .touchUpInside) // Add target-action pair representing callback function invoked when button receives touch up inside event indicating user lifted finger after pressing down inside its bounds area starting from initial touch down event location within its bounds area not crossing any other view boundaries
