关于iOS布局自动iPhone6之后就是AutoLayOut，AutoLayOut固然非常好用，不过有时候我们需要在页面手动进行页面布局，VFL算是一种选择，如果对VFL不是很熟悉可以参考iOS开发-VFL(Visual format language)和Autolayout。VFL不复杂，理解起来很容易，实际开发中用的特别熟还好，要是第一次看估计要花点功夫才能搞定。Masonry算是VFL的简化版，用的人比较多，之前项目中用过一次，对手动写页面的开发来说算是福利。
基础知识
首先我们看一个常见的问题将一个子View放在的UIViewController的某个位置，通过设置边距来实现，效果如下:
如果通过VFL我们代码会是这样的:
UIView *superview = self.view;
UIView *view1 = [[UIView alloc] init];
view1.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
view1.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[superview addSubview:view1];
UIEdgeInsets padding = UIEdgeInsetsMake(200, 50, 200, 50);
[superview addConstraints:@[
//约束
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:view1
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:superview
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop
multiplier:1.0
constant:padding.top],
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:view1
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:superview
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft
multiplier:1.0
constant:padding.left],
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:view1
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:superview
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom
multiplier:1.0
constant:-padding.bottom],
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:view1
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:superview
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight
multiplier:1
constant:-padding.right],
]];只是简单的设置了一个边距，如果视图的关系比较复杂，维护起来会是一个很痛苦的事情，我们看一下Masonry是如何实现的，导入Masonry.h头文件，约束的代码:
UIView *childView=[UIView new];
[childView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
//先将子View加入在父视图中
[self.view addSubview:childView];
__weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self;
UIEdgeInsets padding = UIEdgeInsetsMake(200, 50, 200, 50);
[childView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.edges.equalTo(weakSelf.view).with.insets(padding);
}];
通过mas_makeConstraints设置边距有种鸟枪换炮的感觉，我们即将开启一段新的旅程，可以紧接着看下面比较实用的功能~
实用知识
1.View设置大小
UIView *childView=[UIView new];
[childView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
//先将子View加入在父视图中
[self.view addSubview:childView];
__weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self;
[childView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
//设置大小
make.size.mas_equalTo(CGSizeMake(100, 100));
//居中
make.center.equalTo(weakSelf.view);
}];
效果如下:
这里友情其实一个小内容，目前我们设置约束都是通过mas_makeConstraints用来创建约束,mas_updateConstraints用来更新约束，mas_remakeConstraints重置约束，清除之前的约束，保留最新的约束,如果想深入解释下，可以阅读下面的英文解释~
/**
* Creates a MASConstraintMaker with the callee view.
* Any constraints defined are added to the view or the appropriate superview once the block has finished executing
*
* @param block scope within which you can build up the constraints which you wish to apply to the view.
*
* @return Array of created MASConstraints
*/
- (NSArray *)mas_makeConstraints:(void(^)(MASConstraintMaker *make))block; /**
* Creates a MASConstraintMaker with the callee view.
* Any constraints defined are added to the view or the appropriate superview once the block has finished executing.
* If an existing constraint exists then it will be updated instead.
*
* @param block scope within which you can build up the constraints which you wish to apply to the view.
*
* @return Array of created/updated MASConstraints
*/
- (NSArray *)mas_updateConstraints:(void(^)(MASConstraintMaker *make))block; /**
* Creates a MASConstraintMaker with the callee view.
* Any constraints defined are added to the view or the appropriate superview once the block has finished executing.
* All constraints previously installed for the view will be removed.
*
* @param block scope within which you can build up the constraints which you wish to apply to the view.
*
* @return Array of created/updated MASConstraints
*/
- (NSArray *)mas_remakeConstraints:(void(^)(MASConstraintMaker *make))block;
2.设置高度，这里设置左右边距，因此不设置宽度，如果想单独设置width可参考高度的设置方式:
UIView *childView=[UIView new];
[childView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
//先将子View加入在父视图中
[self.view addSubview:childView];
__weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self;
[childView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
//距离顶部44
make.top.equalTo(weakSelf.view.mas_top).with.offset(44);
//距离左边30
make.left.equalTo(weakSelf.view.mas_left).with.offset(30);
//距离右边30，注意是负数
make.right.equalTo(weakSelf.view.mas_right).with.offset(-30);
//高度150
make.height.mas_equalTo(@150);
}];
3.子视图之间的位置设置:
UIView *childView=[UIView new];
[childView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
//先将子View加入在父视图中
[self.view addSubview:childView];
__weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self;
[childView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
//距离顶部44
make.top.equalTo(weakSelf.view.mas_top).with.offset(44);
//距离左边30
make.left.equalTo(weakSelf.view.mas_left).with.offset(30);
//距离右边30，注意是负数
make.right.equalTo(weakSelf.view.mas_right).with.offset(-30);
//高度150
make.height.mas_equalTo(@150);
}];
//地址:http://www.cnblogs.com/xiaofeixiang/
UIView *nextView=[UIView new];
[nextView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[self.view addSubview:nextView];
[nextView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.top.equalTo(childView.mas_bottom).with.offset(30);
make.right.equalTo(childView.mas_right).with.offset(-30);
make.width.mas_equalTo(@100);
make.height.mas_equalTo(@100);
}];
4.链式写法，算是一个便利的写法:
UIView *childView=[UIView new];
[childView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
//先将子View加入在父视图中
[self.view addSubview:childView];
__weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self;
[childView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.top.and.left.mas_equalTo(weakSelf.view).with.offset(100);
make.bottom.and.right.mas_equalTo(weakSelf.view).with.offset(-100);
//第二种写法更简单，相对于就是父视图
// make.top.and.left.mas_equalTo(100);
// make.bottom.and.right.mas_equalTo(-100);
}]; UILabel *label=[UILabel new];
[label setText:@"博客园-FlyElephant"];
[label setTextColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[label setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
[self.view addSubview:label];
[label mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.left.mas_equalTo(weakSelf.view).with.offset(10);
make.height.mas_equalTo(20);
make.right.mas_equalTo(weakSelf.view).with.offset(-10);
make.bottom.mas_equalTo(weakSelf.view).with.offset(-50);
}];
网上关于Masonry的教程很多，给的例子的也很多，这几种情况基本上满足了开发中的需求，不会有太多的出入，算是一个简易版的教程，Masonry的中属性和iOS中的属性是有对应的关系，不过因为很简单，基本上没怎么看，下图是一个对照关系:
