masonry中 内部接口的使用

在 masonry 中 MASConstraint 是个虚类 这个类中的方法都是由MASViewConstraint和MASCompositeConstraint实现 现在希望

- (MASConstraint *)addConstraintWithLayoutAttribute:(NSLayoutAttribute)layoutAttribute;

这个方法 只有在 MASViewConstraint 和 MASCompositeConstraint 中可以调用到 其他包含MASConstraint.h的文件调用不到, 为了实现这个内部接口的功能 就有了MASConstraint+Private.h 文件

@protocol MASConstraintDelegate;


@interface MASConstraint ()

/**
 *  Whether or not to check for an existing constraint instead of adding constraint
 */
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL updateExisting;

/**
 *	Usually MASConstraintMaker but could be a parent MASConstraint
 */
@property (nonatomic, weak) id<MASConstraintDelegate> delegate;

/**
 *  Based on a provided value type, is equal to calling:
 *  NSNumber - setOffset:
 *  NSValue with CGPoint - setPointOffset:
 *  NSValue with CGSize - setSizeOffset:
 *  NSValue with MASEdgeInsets - setInsets:
 */
- (void)setLayoutConstantWithValue:(NSValue *)value;

@end


@interface MASConstraint (Abstract)

/**
 *	Sets the constraint relation to given NSLayoutRelation
 *  returns a block which accepts one of the following:
 *    MASViewAttribute, UIView, NSValue, NSArray
 *  see readme for more details.
 */
- (MASConstraint * (^)(id, NSLayoutRelation))equalToWithRelation;

/**
 *	Override to set a custom chaining behaviour
 */
- (MASConstraint *)addConstraintWithLayoutAttribute:(NSLayoutAttribute)layoutAttribute;

@end


@protocol MASConstraintDelegate <NSObject>

/**
 *	Notifies the delegate when the constraint needs to be replaced with another constraint. For example
 *  A MASViewConstraint may turn into a MASCompositeConstraint when an array is passed to one of the equality blocks
 */
- (void)constraint:(MASConstraint *)constraint shouldBeReplacedWithConstraint:(MASConstraint *)replacementConstraint;

- (MASConstraint *)constraint:(MASConstraint *)constraint addConstraintWithLayoutAttribute:(NSLayoutAttribute)layoutAttribute;

@end

这样只要在子类中包含这个 MASConstraint+Private.h 文件即可 这个用于隐藏MASConstraint的私有方法，这些私有方法不会被外部调用者获取，但是类库内部却可以得到，这是个很好的设计模式，在继承中相当于protected
