ManualLayout
A lightweight Swift library for manual view and layer layout on iOS and tvOS, featuring a smart assign operator and edge-based positioning.
What is ManualLayout?
ManualLayout is a Swift library for manually laying out views and layers in iOS and tvOS apps. It provides a set of extensions and helper methods to position and size UI elements directly, avoiding the overhead of Auto Layout constraints. The library solves the need for precise, performance-sensitive layout control in scenarios where Auto Layout may be too heavy or inflexible.
iOS and tvOS developers who prefer manual layout over Auto Layout, need fine-grained control for performance-critical interfaces, or work with AsyncDisplayKit. It's ideal for those building custom UI components or complex view hierarchies.
Developers choose ManualLayout for its simplicity, reduced boilerplate, and explicit control. Its smart assign operator and edge-based properties make layout code more readable and maintainable compared to raw CGRect manipulations, while remaining lightweight and fast.
