Donations

I wrote DejalUIKitCategories for my own use, but I'm making it available for the benefit of the iOS developer community.

If you find it useful, a donation via PayPal (or something from my Amazon.com Wish List) would be very much appreciated. Appropriate links can be found on the Dejal Developer page:

Environment & Requirements

  • iOS 8. Most methods may work in older OS versions.
  • Objective-C language.
  • ARC.

Features

  • UIApplication+Dejal: Adds methods to get the first responder and keyboard view of the app.
  • UIBarButtonItem+Dejal: Convenience initializers to make UIBarButton instances based on and image, title, system item, custom view, spacer, or segmented control.
  • UIButton+Dejal: A more convenient title property, and a method to add a gloss effect.
  • UIColor+Dejal: Convenience initializers for more standard colors, or based on a platform-specific image or hex value.
  • UIImage+Dejal: Convenience initializers for tinted images, methods to overlay images with colors, and scaling methods.
  • UIImageView+Dejal: Make a white-background image view, and adjust the background color based on the highlighted state.
  • UILabel+Dejal: Convenience initializers for labels with various text, font, width etc attributes, and sizing methods.
  • UISegmentedControl+Dejal: Convenience initializer for a segmented control with specified items, target, action, and initial selection.
  • UITextField+Dejal: A selected range property, and support for gestures to move the insertion point by swiping.
  • UITextView+Dejal: Attributes of the selection or insertion point, and support for the insertion point swiping gestures.
  • UIView+Dejal: Properties for frame and bounds components and an image representation, methods to hide, add to and remove from the superview with animation.

The methods use a dejal_ prefix to ensure uniqueness (important with categories).

Some of the methods date back several years, so may be less useful nowadays, or have outdated code style. But there are still lots of gems that are used in all Dejal apps.
