Question 1

How do I install CardParts in my iOS project?

Accepted Answer

CardParts is installed via CocoaPods. Add 'pod 'CardParts'' to your Podfile, run 'pod install', and ensure your project meets requirements like iOS 10.0+ and Swift 5.0+. The README provides detailed steps for setup.

Question 2

Can CardParts be used with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, CardParts is built on UIKit and does not support SwiftUI. It's designed for traditional UIKit-based iOS applications, so you'll need to stick with UIKit or consider alternative frameworks for SwiftUI projects.

Question 3

What's the performance impact of CardParts with many dynamic cards?

Accepted Answer

CardParts uses UICollectionView for efficient card layout and scrolling. However, reactive bindings with RxSwift can add overhead; optimize by minimizing unnecessary bindings and using efficient view model updates to maintain smooth performance.

Question 4

How does CardParts compare to building custom card views without a framework?

Accepted Answer

CardParts accelerates development with pre-styled components and reactive bindings, but adds dependency on RxSwift. For simple, static cards, custom code might be lighter, while CardParts excels in complex, data-driven interfaces with less boilerplate.

Question 5

Is CardParts suitable for large-scale enterprise apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's used in production by Intuit's Mint and Turbo apps, indicating scalability. However, success depends on team familiarity with MVVM and RxSwift to manage complexity and maintain code quality over time.

Question 6

How to customize themes in CardParts?

Accepted Answer

Create a class conforming to CardPartsTheme, set properties like fonts and colors, and apply it in AppDelegate or the initial view controller. The README shows examples for Mint and Turbo themes, allowing full branding control.
