A simple and lightweight library that adds a few convenience methods when using AutoLayout to construct your views.

Available via Swift Package Manager (SPM) or via Cocoapods

In Xcode, go to File > Add Package, in the upper right hand corner paste the URL to this Github page: https://github.com/ChadGarrett/ALHelper and click on add package.

Simply add the pod to your Podfile and run pod install.

pod 'ALHelper'

• Swift 5+

• iOS 11+

As this library was only a test for setting up Cocoapods + SPM packages, it only includes two very simple (but tested!) helpers at the moment.

You can use addSubviewAndPinToSuperviewEdges(insets:UIEdgeInsets) to add a view to a parent view, and pin its top, leading, trailing and bottom edges to the parents edges with the optionally supplied insets.

Alternatively, you can use pinToSuperviewEdges directly on a child view if it has already been added to a parent to simply add the constraints and optionally supplied insets.

addSubviewAndPinToSuperviewEdges

    let parentView = UIView()
    let childView = UIView()
    let insets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 5)

    parentView.addSubviewAndPinToSuperviewEdges(childView, insets: insets)

pinToSuperviewEdges

    let parentView = UIView()
    let childView = UIView()
    parentView.addSubview(childView)
    childView.pinToSuperviewEdges()
