Gesture Tactile
Overview

Travis Status CocoaPods compatible Carthage compatible

Tactile is a safer and more idiomatic way to respond to gestures and control events. It lets you catch bugs at compile time and write more expressive code.

view.pan([
    .began:   panBegan,
    .changed: panChanged,
    .ended:   panEnded
])

// func panBegan(pan: UIPanGestureRecognizer)
// func panChanged(pan: UIPanGestureRecognizer)
// func panEnded(pan: UIPanGestureRecognizer)

Usage • Installation • License

Usage

Tactile extends both UIView and UIControl classes.

UIView extensions

UIView+Tactile.swift

The on method

Use the on method to add gesture recognizers.

on(gesture:callback:)

let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer()
tap.numberOfTapsRequired = 3
tap.numberOfTouchesRequired = 2

view.on(tap, tapped)

// func tapped(tap: UITapGestureRecognizer)

on(gesture:state:callback:)

let pinch = UIPinchGestureRecognizer()

view.on(pinch, .began, pinchBegan)

// func pinchBegan(pinch: UIPinchGestureRecognizer)

on(gesture:states:callback:)

let pan = UIPanGestureRecognizer()

view.on(pan, [.began, .ended], panBeganOrEnded)

// func panBeganOrEnded(pan: UIPanGestureRecognizer)

on(gesture:callbacks:)

let pinch = UIPinchGestureRecognizer()

view.on(pinch, [
  .began: pinchBegan,
  .ended: pinchEnded
])

// func pinchBegan(pinch: UIPinchGestureRecognizer)
// func pinchEnded(pinch: UIPinchGestureRecognizer)

The shorthand methods

Tactile defines 6 shorthand methods: longPress, pan, pinch, rotation, swipe and tap.

<shorthand>(callback:)

view.tap(tapped)

// func tapped(tap: UITapGestureRecognizer)

<shorthand>(state:callback:)

view.pinch(.began, pinchBegan)

// func pinchBegan(pinch: UIPinchGestureRecognizer)

<shorthand>(states:callback:)

view.pan([.began, .ended], panBeganOrEnded)

// func panBeganOrEnded(pan: UIPanGestureRecognizer)

<shorthand>(callbacks:)

view.longPress([
  .began: longPressBegan,
  .ended: longPressEnded
])

// func longPressBegan(longPress: UILongPressGestureRecognizer)
// func longPressEnded(longPress: UILongPressGestureRecognizer)

The off method

Use the off method to remove gesture recognizers.

off(gesture:)

let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer()
view.on(tap, tapped)

// ...

view.off(tap)

off(gestureType:)

view.off(UITapGestureRecognizer.self)

off()

view.off()

Attaching a gesture recognizer to multiple views

With Tactile, you can attach the same gesture recognizer to multiple views.

let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer()
tap.numberOfTapsRequired = 3
tap.numberOfTouchesRequired = 2

firstView.on(tap, firstViewTapped)
secondView.on(tap, secondViewTapped)

UIControl extensions

UIControl+Tactile.swift

Use the on method to attach an event handler function for one or more control events.

on(event:callback:)

button.on(.touchUpInside, tapped)

// func tapped(button: UIButton)

on(events:callback:)

button.on([.touchUpInside, .touchUpOutside], tapped)

// func tapped(button: UIButton)

on(callbacks:)

button.on([
  .touchUpInside: tapped,
  .touchUpOutside: cancelledTap
])

// func tapped(button: UIButton)
// func cancelledTap(button: UIButton)

Installation

Carthage

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate Tactile into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "delba/Tactile" >= 1.0

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects.

You can install it with the following command:

  • Using Tactile with UIControl works inconsistently

    Using Tactile with UIControl works inconsistently

    I like the concept very much, unfortunately Tactile isnt reliable. When using it as so:

    let button = UIButton()
button.on(.TouchUpInside, functionToCall)

    it only works about 95% of the time for me and my colleagues on different projects.

    I had a quick look and would like to point you to this piece of code:

    116 private let proxies = NSMapTable.weakToStrongObjectsMapTable()
117 
118 private class Proxy: NSObject {
119     var actor: Triggerable!
120     
121     init(actor: Triggerable, control: UIControl, event: UIControlEvents) {
122         super.init()
123         
124         self.actor = actor
125         
126         proxies.setObject(self, forKey: "\(control, event.rawValue)")
127     }
128     
129     @objc func recognized(control: UIControl) {
130         actor.trigger(control)
131     }
132 }

    You are using a weakToStrongObjectsMapTable(), which has the property that: "Use of weak-to-strong map tables is not recommended. The strong values for weak keys which get zeroed out continue to be maintained until the map table resizes itself." I think that the key "\(control, event.rawValue)" goes out of scope immediately, then, whenever the mapTable is resized, the values are released and stop working.

    Also suspicious to me is the cycle Actor<--owns-->Proxy.

    Can you please take a look at this and explain? Thanks

  • Block support

    Block support

    Hello,

    first, very nice work indeed. What would help this project to be really great is if the methods offered block version instead of target. That way you would be able to do following:

    view.on(tap) {
    // Do something
}

    Which removes the decoupling - the need to have different method somewhere else in the code.

    Thanks for your time doing this library!

    Sincerely, Jiri
