Screen: Allow custom views (including images) for `title` setting [#415](https://github.com/clearsightstudio/ProMotion/pull/415) +Overview: In ProMotion 2.0, we removed deprecated APIs, refactored and cleaned up a ton of code, pulled `PushNotification` and `MapScreen` into their own gems, and simplified the API. It now builds 55% faster and is 20%+ lighter. +**API changes** + +1. Extracted `PM::MapScreen` into [ProMotion-map](https://github.com/clearsightstudio/ProMotion-map) +2. Extracted `PM::PushNotification` into [ProMotion-push](https://github.com/clearsightstudio/ProMotion-push) +3. You can't pass a UIImage or UIView into a `title` anymore. Instead, pass a string into `title_image` (it'll fetch the image for you and create a UIImageView) or pass any arbitrary view into `title_view`. Now, `title` only takes a string title. +4. `on_create` has been renamed `screen_init` to avoid confusion with Android's `onCreate` method. It may be reintroduced in a future version of ProMotion as an alias of `onCreate`. We recommend using `on_init` instead. +5. `set_nav_bar_right_button` and `set_nav_bar_left_button` have been removed. Use `set_nav_bar_button :right` and `:left` instead. +6. Added `NSString#to_url` and `NSURL#to_url` helper methods to help clean up a lot of code. +7. `present_modal_view_controller` now takes two arguments: the ViewController and an argument hash. You shouldn't have been using it in the first place. +8. `open_in_tab` now properly opens screens in tabs that didn't have a nav_bar. This is probably the closest thing to a new feature in PM 2.0 that we have, even though it should have worked before. +9. Cell hash arbitrary values are no longer applied directly to the cell. Instead, use the style: hash to apply arbitrary attributes. [Example here](https://github.com/clearsightstudio/ProMotion/pull/457/files#discussion_r13211807). +10. Removed cell hash `:subviews` attribute. Instead, subclass `PM::TableViewCell` and add your own subviews there. +11. Actually, there is one new feature. It's called `longpressable`. By adding `longpressable` at the top of your `PM::TableScreen` and then supplying a `long_press_action:` in your cell hash, you can implement a different action for long presses on table cells. +12. We no longer insert the cell hash into the arguments hash passed into your cell tap action. If you need that data, pass it in manually. +13. Removed `add_element`, `add_view`, `remove_element`, `remove_view` aliases for `add` and `remove`. +14. `on_load` now fires on `viewDidLoad` instead of `loadView`. Added a new `load_view` hook for that method & you can set your own view in there. If you don't implement `load_view`, one will be created for you (per Apple's recommendations). This change shouldn't change much in your app except that if you're setting `self.view = something`, you should do it in `load_view`. + +**Internal changes:** + +1. Removed `motion-require`. ProMotion now relies entirely on RubyMotion's built-in dependency detector. +2. Removed `rake spec:unit`, `rake spec:func`, `rake spec:single filename`. We don't really use these for development anymore. +3. Moved many files around into a more logical, simpler structure. +4. Removed `PM::Conversions`. The only helper we were using was the `objective_c_method_name` method, and that was only used in `PM::Styling`. So we moved it there. +5. New module, `PM::NavBarModule`. Moved any navigation controller methods into this module, cleaning up the `PM::ScreenModule` quite a bit. +6. Lots of code refactoring -- CodeClimate went from 2.47 to 3.42 GPA. +7. Much cleaner `open` code! +8. Converted several *slow* functional tests into *fast* unit tests with the same coverage. + # API Reference We've created a comprehensive and always updated wiki with code examples, usage examples, and API reference. ### [ProMotion API Reference](https://github.com/clearsightstudio/ProMotion/wiki) # Help -ProMotion is not only an easy DSL to get started.
