This PR replaces API links containing "/api-docs/" with links to suitable header files in GitHub because the site previously linked to is being taken down and replaced with something that won't handle API docs.

Design & API Documentation


Installation

Installation with CocoaPods

To add this component to your Xcode project using CocoaPods, add the following to your Podfile:

pod install

Usage

Importing

Before using Collection Layout Attributes, you'll need to import it:

Swift

import MaterialComponents.MaterialCollectionLayoutAttributes

Objective-C

#import "MaterialCollectionLayoutAttributes.h"

The MDCCollectionViewLayoutAttributes class allows passing properties to a cell from a collection view layout. Override the -applyLayoutAttributes method of any UICollectionReusableView or UICollectionViewCell subclasses, then apply any of the properties of the attributes class.

Swift

override func apply(_ layoutAttributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes) {
  super.apply(layoutAttributes)
  if let attr = layoutAttributes as? MDCCollectionViewLayoutAttributes {
    if (attr.representedElementCategory == .cell) {

      // Example to set a background image to the cell background view.
      self.backgroundView = UIImageView(image: attr.backgroundImage)
    }
  }
}

Objective-C

- (void)applyLayoutAttributes:(UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *)layoutAttributes {
  [super applyLayoutAttributes:layoutAttributes];
  if ([layoutAttributes isKindOfClass:[MDCCollectionViewLayoutAttributes class]]) {
    MDCCollectionViewLayoutAttributes *attr = (MDCCollectionViewLayoutAttributes *)layoutAttributes;
    if (attr.representedElementCategory == UICollectionElementCategoryCell) {

      // Example to set a background image to the cell background view.
      self.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:attr.backgroundImage];
    }
  }
}
