Masonry 仍然在维持. 如果使用 Swift 开发, 建议使用 SnapKit.
Masonry 以一种简便可读的代码实现子控件自动布局 ,甚至可以实现一些动画,是一中轻量级的框架。
Masonry 支持 iOS 和 Mac OS X。可以使用Pod
安装或则下载ZIP直接导入使用。
如果不想使用前缀'mas_',可以导入宏,具体如下:
#define MAS_SHORTHAND
#define MAS_SHORTHAND_GLOBALS
#import "Masonry.h"

What's wrong with NSLayoutConstraints?
Under the hood Auto Layout is a powerful and flexible way of organising and laying out your views. However creating constraints from code is verbose and not very descriptive.
Imagine a simple example in which you want to have a view fill its superview but inset by 10 pixels on every side
UIView *superview = self.view;
UIView *view1 = [[UIView alloc] init];
view1.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
view1.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
[superview addSubview:view1];
UIEdgeInsets padding = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 10);
[superview addConstraints:@[
//view1 constraints
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:view1
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:superview
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop
multiplier:1.0
constant:padding.top],
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:view1
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:superview
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft
multiplier:1.0
constant:padding.left],
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:view1
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:superview
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom
multiplier:1.0
constant:-padding.bottom],
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:view1
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:superview
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight
multiplier:1
constant:-padding.right],
]];
Even with such a simple example the code needed is quite verbose and quickly becomes unreadable when you have more than 2 or 3 views.
Another option is to use Visual Format Language (VFL), which is a bit less long winded.
However the ASCII type syntax has its own pitfalls and its also a bit harder to animate as NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:
returns an array.
Prepare to meet your Maker!
Heres the same constraints created using MASConstraintMaker
UIEdgeInsets padding = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 10);
[view1 mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.top.equalTo(superview.mas_top).with.offset(padding.top); //with is an optional semantic filler
make.left.equalTo(superview.mas_left).with.offset(padding.left);
make.bottom.equalTo(superview.mas_bottom).with.offset(-padding.bottom);
make.right.equalTo(superview.mas_right).with.offset(-padding.right);
}];
Or even shorter
[view1 mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.edges.equalTo(superview).with.insets(padding);
}];
Also note in the first example we had to add the constraints to the superview [superview addConstraints:...
.
Masonry however will automagically add constraints to the appropriate view.
Masonry will also call view1.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
for you.
Not all things are created equal
.equalTo
equivalent to NSLayoutRelationEqual
.lessThanOrEqualTo
equivalent to NSLayoutRelationLessThanOrEqual
.greaterThanOrEqualTo
equivalent to NSLayoutRelationGreaterThanOrEqual
These three equality constraints accept one argument which can be any of the following:
1. MASViewAttribute
make.centerX.lessThanOrEqualTo(view2.mas_left);
MASViewAttribute | NSLayoutAttribute |
---|---|
view.mas_left | NSLayoutAttributeLeft |
view.mas_right | NSLayoutAttributeRight |
view.mas_top | NSLayoutAttributeTop |
view.mas_bottom | NSLayoutAttributeBottom |
view.mas_leading | NSLayoutAttributeLeading |
view.mas_trailing | NSLayoutAttributeTrailing |
view.mas_width | NSLayoutAttributeWidth |
view.mas_height | NSLayoutAttributeHeight |
view.mas_centerX | NSLayoutAttributeCenterX |
view.mas_centerY | NSLayoutAttributeCenterY |
view.mas_baseline | NSLayoutAttributeBaseline |
2. UIView/NSView
if you want view.left to be greater than or equal to label.left :
//these two constraints are exactly the same
make.left.greaterThanOrEqualTo(label);
make.left.greaterThanOrEqualTo(label.mas_left);
3. NSNumber
Auto Layout allows width and height to be set to constant values.
if you want to set view to have a minimum and maximum width you could pass a number to the equality blocks:
//width >= 200 && width <= 400
make.width.greaterThanOrEqualTo(@200);
make.width.lessThanOrEqualTo(@400)
However Auto Layout does not allow alignment attributes such as left, right, centerY etc to be set to constant values.
So if you pass a NSNumber for these attributes Masonry will turn these into constraints relative to the view’s superview ie:
//creates view.left = view.superview.left + 10
make.left.lessThanOrEqualTo(@10)
Instead of using NSNumber, you can use primitives and structs to build your constraints, like so:
make.top.mas_equalTo(42);
make.height.mas_equalTo(20);
make.size.mas_equalTo(CGSizeMake(50, 100));
make.edges.mas_equalTo(UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 0, 10, 0));
make.left.mas_equalTo(view).mas_offset(UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 0, 10, 0));
// 关键在此,不想使用前缀"mas_",在#import"Masonry" 上写入以下宏
//define this constant if you want to use Masonry without the 'mas_' prefix
#define MAS_SHORTHAND
//define this constant if you want to enable auto-boxing for default syntax
#define MAS_SHORTHAND_GLOBALS
// 就像下例所示
#define MAS_SHORTHAND
#define MAS_SHORTHAND_GLOBALS
#import "Masonry.h"
...
By default, macros which support [autoboxing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoboxing#Autoboxing) are prefixed with `mas_`. Unprefixed versions are available by defining `MAS_SHORTHAND_GLOBALS` before importing Masonry.
#### 4. NSArray
An array of a mixture of any of the previous types
```obj-c
make.height.equalTo(@[view1.mas_height, view2.mas_height]);
make.height.equalTo(@[view1, view2]);
make.left.equalTo(@[view1, @100, view3.right]);
Learn to prioritize
.priority
allows you to specify an exact priority
.priorityHigh
equivalent to UILayoutPriorityDefaultHigh
.priorityMedium
is half way between high and low
.priorityLow
equivalent to UILayoutPriorityDefaultLow
Priorities are can be tacked on to the end of a constraint chain like so:
make.left.greaterThanOrEqualTo(label.mas_left).with.priorityLow();
make.top.equalTo(label.mas_top).with.priority(600);
Composition, composition, composition
Masonry also gives you a few convenience methods which create multiple constraints at the same time. These are called MASCompositeConstraints
edges
// make top, left, bottom, right equal view2
make.edges.equalTo(view2);
// make top = superview.top + 5, left = superview.left + 10,
// bottom = superview.bottom - 15, right = superview.right - 20
make.edges.equalTo(superview).insets(UIEdgeInsetsMake(5, 10, 15, 20))
size
// make width and height greater than or equal to titleLabel
make.size.greaterThanOrEqualTo(titleLabel)
// make width = superview.width + 100, height = superview.height - 50
make.size.equalTo(superview).sizeOffset(CGSizeMake(100, -50))
center
// make centerX and centerY = button1
make.center.equalTo(button1)
// make centerX = superview.centerX - 5, centerY = superview.centerY + 10
make.center.equalTo(superview).centerOffset(CGPointMake(-5, 10))
You can chain view attributes for increased readability:
// All edges but the top should equal those of the superview
make.left.right.and.bottom.equalTo(superview);
make.top.equalTo(otherView);
Hold on for dear life
Sometimes you need modify existing constraints in order to animate or remove/replace constraints.
In Masonry there are a few different approaches to updating constraints.
1. References
You can hold on to a reference of a particular constraint by assigning the result of a constraint make expression to a local variable or a class property.
You could also reference multiple constraints by storing them away in an array.
// in public/private interface
@property (nonatomic, strong) MASConstraint *topConstraint;
...
// when making constraints
[view1 mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
self.topConstraint = make.top.equalTo(superview.mas_top).with.offset(padding.top);
make.left.equalTo(superview.mas_left).with.offset(padding.left);
}];
...
// then later you can call
[self.topConstraint uninstall];
2. mas_updateConstraints
Alternatively if you are only updating the constant value of the constraint you can use the convience method mas_updateConstraints
instead of mas_makeConstraints
// this is Apple's recommended place for adding/updating constraints
// this method can get called multiple times in response to setNeedsUpdateConstraints
// which can be called by UIKit internally or in your code if you need to trigger an update to your constraints
- (void)updateConstraints {
[self.growingButton mas_updateConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.center.equalTo(self);
make.width.equalTo(@(self.buttonSize.width)).priorityLow();
make.height.equalTo(@(self.buttonSize.height)).priorityLow();
make.width.lessThanOrEqualTo(self);
make.height.lessThanOrEqualTo(self);
}];
//according to apple super should be called at end of method
[super updateConstraints];
}
3. mas_remakeConstraints
mas_updateConstraints
is useful for updating a set of constraints, but doing anything beyond updating constant values can get exhausting. That's where mas_remakeConstraints
comes in.
mas_remakeConstraints
is similar to mas_updateConstraints
, but instead of updating constant values, it will remove all of its constraints before installing them again. This lets you provide different constraints without having to keep around references to ones which you want to remove.
- (void)changeButtonPosition {
[self.button mas_remakeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.size.equalTo(self.buttonSize);
if (topLeft) {
make.top.and.left.offset(10);
} else {
make.bottom.and.right.offset(-10);
}
}];
}
You can find more detailed examples of all three approaches in the Masonry iOS Examples project.
When the ^&*!@ hits the fan!
Laying out your views doesn't always goto plan. So when things literally go pear shaped, you don't want to be looking at console output like this:
Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.....blah blah blah....
(
"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x7189ac0 V:[UILabel:0x7186980(>=5000)]>",
"<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x839ea20 h=--& v=--& V:[MASExampleDebuggingView:0x7186560(416)]>",
"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x7189c70 UILabel:0x7186980.bottom == MASExampleDebuggingView:0x7186560.bottom - 10>",
"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x7189560 V:|-(1)-[UILabel:0x7186980] (Names: '|':MASExampleDebuggingView:0x7186560 )>"
)
Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint
<NSLayoutConstraint:0x7189ac0 V:[UILabel:0x7186980(>=5000)]>
Masonry adds a category to NSLayoutConstraint which overrides the default implementation of - (NSString *)description
.
Now you can give meaningful names to views and constraints, and also easily pick out the constraints created by Masonry.
which means your console output can now look like this:
Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints......blah blah blah....
(
"<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x8887740 MASExampleDebuggingView:superview.height == 416>",
"<MASLayoutConstraint:ConstantConstraint UILabel:messageLabel.height >= 5000>",
"<MASLayoutConstraint:BottomConstraint UILabel:messageLabel.bottom == MASExampleDebuggingView:superview.bottom - 10>",
"<MASLayoutConstraint:ConflictingConstraint[0] UILabel:messageLabel.top == MASExampleDebuggingView:superview.top + 1>"
)
Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint
<MASLayoutConstraint:ConstantConstraint UILabel:messageLabel.height >= 5000>
For an example of how to set this up take a look at the Masonry iOS Examples project in the Masonry workspace.
Where should I create my constraints?
@implementation DIYCustomView
- (id)init {
self = [super init];
if (!self) return nil;
// --- Create your views here ---
self.button = [[UIButton alloc] init];
return self;
}
// tell UIKit that you are using AutoLayout
+ (BOOL)requiresConstraintBasedLayout {
return YES;
}
// this is Apple's recommended place for adding/updating constraints
- (void)updateConstraints {
// --- remake/update constraints here
[self.button remakeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.width.equalTo(@(self.buttonSize.width));
make.height.equalTo(@(self.buttonSize.height));
}];
//according to apple super should be called at end of method
[super updateConstraints];
}
- (void)didTapButton:(UIButton *)button {
// --- Do your changes ie change variables that affect your layout etc ---
self.buttonSize = CGSize(200, 200);
// tell constraints they need updating
[self setNeedsUpdateConstraints];
}
@end
