Declarative view styling in Swift. Inspired by CSS modules.

Hi there 👋

struct Dev {
  let name = "Jean-Christophe (JC) Pastant"
  let pronouns = "Sir"
  let age = Int.infinity
  let role = "iOS Staff Engineer"
  let location = "France 🇫🇷"
  let languages = ["en_FR", "en_US"]
  let skills = ["Swift", "ObjC", "Ruby", "French jokes 🤡"]
  
  func sayHi() {
    print("Thanks for dropping by. Feel free to have a look at my work!")
  }
}

let me = Dev()
me.sayHi()

gaikan's Issues

Add a custom CALayer to UIView

It might be nice to use a custom CALayer object instead of modifying UIView.layer. This would allow us to do implement "tricky" effects setting only one border or corner radius (top, left, bottom, right).

This would also be a first step to handle view bound changing.

Versioning issue

I am trying to access the version 0.8.0 of Gaikan as i need Swift 3.0 support, however current pod always target 0.7.0. Did you forget to tag 0.8 on Master?

Mimic `UIView` API

Instead of having updateStyle, we should have setNeedsUpdateStyle (async) and updateStyleIfNeeded (sync)

Swift 3

Migrate to swift 3! :)

Add support for traits

Would be nice to be able to adapt style based on current trait. Just like @media in CSS.

Unable to install using Carthage

These are some of the things preventing this:

• There is no Cartfile with the KVOController dependency
• The Pods directory is included which causes Carthage to try to build the Pods.xcodeproj

Would you be okay with using Carthage for Gaikan's own dependencies instead of Cocoapods? I think it will be easier to support both Carthage and Cocoapods for using the framework. I can try to create a pull request for this if you'd like.

Improve debug information

• Keep style properties overloading, at least in debug.
• Show computed properties values when calling print.
