facebook-gad / componentkit

A React-inspired view framework for iOS.

ComponentKit is a view framework for iOS that is heavily inspired by React. It takes a functional, declarative approach to building UI. It was built to power Facebook's News Feed and is now used throughout the Facebook iOS app.

Quick start

ComponentKit is available to install via Carthage. To get started add the following to your Cartfile:

github "facebook/ComponentKit" ~> 0.27

Opening the Xcode projects

ComponentKit has a few dependencies that need to be installed via Carthage. Before you open any of the Xcode projects in this repo, make sure you run:

carthage checkout

If Carthage isn't installed, you easily install it via Homebrew:

brew install carthage

If you can't use Homebrew, Carthage provides other installation methods.

To get started with the example app:

open Examples/WildeGuess/WildeGuess.xcodeproj

Build and run the WildeGuess target to try it out!

If you're interested in viewing only the ComponentKit source code in Xcode:

open ComponentKit.xcodeproj
