Swift Style about pinlayout

[lucdion]

Hi @dillidon,

1. The first reason why I choose that style is that it works better with Xcode autocomplete. In PinLayout there are so many margin methods, that it's faster when you want for example select marginVertical, you can simply type mv and select the method immediately. Using your proposition you would have to type marg then use arrow keys to select the nth margin methods.

2. The second reason was that I wanted from the start to be compliant with Yoga flexbox implementation, which use this syntax. I wanted that because my other layout project FlexLayout use Yoga.

But your right on one point, your proposition would have been more Swift friendly. Maybe if I have to rewrite the API, I would go with your proposition.

Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the comment @dillidon. I hope that my group proposition will meet your expectation. I want something really simple for simple cases, but still being able to layout more particular situations.

Also, instead of:

view.pin.below(of: otherView, aligned: .center).marginTop(10)

I think more swiftly:

view.pin.below(of: otherView, aligned: center, margin: 10)

Together with this it would be nice to add a group layout like:

[view1, view2, view3].pin.all().group(by: .equal, axis: .horizontal).height(100).width(80%)

@dillidon I'm in the process of designing a way to layout multiple views simultaneously, as your group layout proposition. I may integrate your proposition in my design. If you have any other ideas, thanks for sharing them.

I have not been able to use even 30% of all the features of your framework, but I have already closed all the most difficult moments that I had when I used the Autolayout. Thank you) The only thing I would like to see is the above things.
