New generators to integrate RMQ & ProMotion nicely

Our new generators allow you to create your ProMotion screen and stylesheet template to let you hit the ground running. Currently the following RedPotion generators exist:

potion g screen foo
potion g table_screen foo
potion g view foo

# All rmq generators work with the potion command as well
potion g model foo
potion g shared foo
potion g lib foo

# rmq controller generators also still exist
# but screens are preferred to get the redpotion value
potion g controller foo
potion g collection_view_controller foos
potion g table_view_controller bars

# RedPotion includes CDQ and afmotion by default, if you don't need these gems
# we have provided command line tasks to remove either of them
potion remove cdq
potion remove afmotion

New features for RMQ

find is aliased to rmq so you can use it for a more natural reading code:

find.all.hide
find(my_view).children.nudge(right: 10)

You can use app directly in code, which is the same as rmq.app

So you also get window, device, and delegate from that.

app.device
app.window
app.delegate

You can use the following in a UIView or Screen or UIViewController without prefacing it with rmq:

append
append!
prepend
prepend!
create
create!
build
build!
on
apply_style
reapply_styles
style
color
image
stylesheet
stylesheet=

Stylesheet in your screens

You can specify the stylesheet in your screen like so:

class HomeScreen < PM::Screen
  title "RedPotion"
  stylesheet HomeStylesheet

  def on_load
  end
end

rmq_build can now be called on_load

You can use either rmq_build or on_load, they do exactly the same thing. You can only use one or the other. on_load is preferred as it matches the screen's onload.

class Section < UIView
  def on_load
    apply_style :section

    append(UIButton, :section_button).on(:touch) do
      mp "Button touched"
    end
  end
end

Remote image loading for UIImageView styler

You can set remote_image to a URL string or an instance of NSURL and it will automatically fetch the image and set the image (with caching) using the power of SDWebImage.

class MyStylesheet < ApplicationStylesheet
  def my_ui_image_view(st)
    # placeholder_image= is just an alias to image=
    # Set the placeholder image you want from your resources directory
    st.placeholder_image = image.resource("my_placeholder")
    # Set the remote URL. It will be applied to the UIImageView
    # when downloaded or retrieved from the local cache.
    st.remote_image = "http://www.rubymotion.com/img/rubymotion-logo.png"
    # or st.remote_image = NSURL.urlWithString(...)
  end
end

In order to use this feature, you must add the SDWebImage cocoapod to your project:

app.pods do
  pod 'SDWebImage'
end

New features for ProMotion

• 2.2.0 added on_styled
• 2.3.0 added on_load to match RedPotion
• 2.4.0 added support for SDWebImage to replace JMImageCache
• 2.5.0 added footer_views to TableScreens
