Passing Variables to Layouts

[drosenstark]

I'm trying to do this type of thing

    layout(splitView, boxStatus) { split, box in
        box.height == 31
        split.height == box.superview!.height - 31
        split.bottom == box.top
    }

which works, but I'd like to parameterize this so the 31 is a variable. (I'm not even able to use box.height in the second line.)

Hints, please, or is this a limitation of the framework?

Thanks!

you need to cast your variable to Float, as per #56. So

layout(splitView, boxStatus) { split, box in
    box.height == CGFloat(someVar)
    split.height == box.superview!.height - CGFloat(someVar)
    split.bottom == box.top
}

should do the trick

Wow, okay! I'm using Float(someVar) instead of CGFloat but it all works now. Thanks for responding (and for Cartography, again)!

Would be nice to have a FAQ instead of having to look through issues. Not sure if GitHub does that....
