Use custom UIView as XIB's File's Owner (to reference from Storyboards)? about reusable

[AliSoftware]

I'm not sure I understand your question.

Aren't this and this documentation in the README clear enough? What information are you missing?

[AF-cgi]

I read the documentation. I have a BaseView which is subclass by every other view. In this BaseView I implement an init- and the awakeFromNib-method. Both methods load the xib from nib and add the loaded nib view as subview. My xib file connected via the file's owner property. So I can use my UIView with the init-method and directly in storyboard. Is it possible with the NibLoadable protocol?

Oh I get it now. I got that usage of reusable views too sometimes, and sadly haven't had time to add support for such configuration in Reusable just yet.

So an UIView that is declared as NibLoadable is — for now — expected to be the root view of your XIB with no File's Owner (i.e. the same way you have for a XIB declaring a custom UITableViewCell).

But I'd love to add another protocol — NibOwnerLoadable? Any name suggestions welcome — to Reusable for that other use you suggest, expecting that custom UIView to be the File's Owner of the XIB, and adding its XIB's rootObjects as subviews to it automagically, so that you can then use that custom view directly in your other XIBs or Storyboards indeed.

So this is not possible yet but I'd love to add that — Pull Requests welcome, btw 😉 . That should be pretty straightforward to implement I think, the hardest part would be to find a suitable name for that other protocol to keep both solutions (custom UIView as the File's Owner vs. as the root view of the XIB) possible 😉
