requiresConstraintBasedLayout <iOS>

今天在学习masonry框架的时候,看到第二个demo,Update View.

其中有个方法是:+ (BOOL)requiresConstraintBasedLayout.

这个方法的意思是: 如果你在- (void)updateConstraints这个方法里面给自定义的控件更新控件的constraint,那么需要重写+ (BOOL)requiresConstraintBasedLayout方法,并且返回YES.否则的话,就不会显示该控件.

如果直接在init方法中设置自定义控件的constraint,那么则不需要重写+ (BOOL)requiresConstraintBasedLayout方法,也可以显示

例如:下面的这个代码,我将自动布局写到- (void)updateConstraints这个方法中了,所以我需要重写+ (BOOL)requiresConstraintBasedLayout这个方法,否则的话就不会显示出来自定义的控件.
而且,我在下面的每个方法中都定义了输出NSLog();这样我们可以看出来程序在执行的时候一个先后顺序:

#import "SLExampleUpdateView.h"

@interface SLExampleUpdateView ()

@property (nonatomic, strong)UIButton * growingButton;

@property (nonatomic, assign) CGSize buttonSize;

@property (nonatomic, strong) UIView * redView;

@end

@implementation SLExampleUpdateView

- (instancetype)init{

    NSLog(@"init");
    self = [super init];
    if (!self) return nil;

    UIView * superview = self;
    self.redView = [[UIView alloc] init];

    self.redView.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor;

    self.redView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.blackColor.CGColor;
    self.redView.layer.borderWidth = 2;
        [self addSubview:self.redView];

    return self;
}

- (void)updateConstraints {
    NSLog(@"updateConstrains");

    [self.redView makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {

        make.top.equalTo(self).offset(10);
        make.left.equalTo(self).offset(10);
        make.bottom.equalTo(self).offset(-10);
        make.right.equalTo(self).offset(-10);
    }];

    [super updateConstraints];
}

+ (BOOL)requiresConstraintBasedLayout {

    NSLog(@"requires");
    return YES;
}

- (void)layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];

    NSLog(@"layoutSubviews");
}


@end
