Coding Auto Layout by Example
Series about building iOS user interfaces using Auto Layout programatically.
Who is this for?
The series is aimed towards beginners trying to acquire the skill of building UI purely using code. It covers the basics of Auto Layout without going into a great detail, just enough to get you started on your journey. Multiple guided examples from simple to advanced are provided with (hopefully) enough explanation to teach you the what, how and why of Auto Layout.
What should I know?
Basic knowledge of Xcode and Swift syntax is required as not every bit of code is explained in detail. The focus is heavily on Auto Layout. Familiarity with some UI components is helpful.
How should I read the series?
If you are a beginner, simply go through the posts one by one as they range from the very basic to more advanced. If you are already familiar with stack views, constraints, content hugging and other Auto Layout concepts, then simply browse the examples you are interested in.
Is the source code for the examples provided?
It is, grab a copy of all finished examples by cloning the repo from GitHub. The repo also includes starting projects for each example if you wish to follow along.
