Description
SuperLayout is a library that adds a few custom operators to Swift that makes using the amazing NSLayoutAnchor API for Auto Layout a breeze. SuperLayout doesn't override already-defined methods in Equatable (such as == and >=), and defines ones that are logical and easily understandable to anyone who might be inheriting your codebase or joining your team.

SuperLayout is a library that adds a few custom operators to Swift that makes using the amazing NSLayoutAnchor API for Auto Layout a breeze. SuperLayout doesn't override already-defined methods in Equatable
(such as ==
and >=
), and defines ones that are logical and easily understandable to anyone who might be inheriting your codebase or joining your team.
What It Does
In short, SuperLayout turns this:
Into this:
How it works
SuperLayout defines three custom operators: ~~
, ≥≥
, and ≤≤
that correspond to equalTo
, ≥
to greaterThanOrEqualTo
, and ≤
to lessThanOrEqualTo
, respectively.
The greater than and less than operators were chosen with practicality in mind; ≥
and ≤
have simple keyboard shortcuts (just Option
+ <
and Option
+ >
in macOS), so there's no need to copy-paste characters when writing constraints.
Installation
SuperLayout is available via CocoaPods and SwiftPM. If you're using CocoaPods, just specify this in your Podfile:
pod 'SuperLayout'
Before You Use
To use this library, you should have a basic understanding of the NSLayoutAnchor
API. If not, read up, and then check out the documentation below to get started.
NSLayoutConstraint Reference
Note: SuperLayout does not (yet) automatically turn off
translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints
for the views you'd like to manage with Auto Layout. Disabling this setting automatically is too magical for me. Feel free to create an issue if you disagree.
