Swift Package Manager is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects.

You can install Lux by importing this repo's url into Xcode.

https://github.com/maxwelldesign/lux

Notice: There are some known issues with CocoaPods and Xcode-Canvas. Whenever possible, please prefer the SPM install option. Experimental LUX import as SPM package inside a CocoaPods project has been successful.

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

CocoaPods 1.1.0+ is required to build Lux 1.0.0+.

To integrate Lux into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'Lux', '~> 1.0.0'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

import SwiftUI
import Lux

struct ContentView: View {

    var body: some View{
      Column{
        Row{
          Text("Hello World")
          .lux
          .trait(.title)
          .style(.paragraph)
          .view
        }
      }
      .lux
      .style(.panel)
      .feature(.padding, .shadow,)
      .card
      .view
    }

}

Install the Maxwell App to create LUX specifications. It's available for iOS and macOS from the MAXWELL DESIGN website:

• Install

From the Maxwell App:

• From the Home select the LUX tab
• Tap on a look to enter the editor
• Tap on the paperplane icon
• At the bottom of the action sheet locate the "options"
• Tap the options button
• Select "Init Config"

Note: If you are in the simulator, use "Get Pasteboard" from the menu to transmit the data to macOS.

Once ready, open Xcode and paste the configuration code BEFORE attaching your views, ideally in the Scene Delegate, ie:

 func initializeLook(){
        do{
            try Look.set(data64:" SOME DATA")
        }catch{
            print("error")
        }
  }

You can tweak any LUX powered application in realtime from the MAXWELL APP.

• Install

Add this to your launch code:

 func tuneLux(){
        Look.tunning()
  }

Then to dynamically update any view simple add this Observable definition for the global Look state:

struct ContentView: View {
    @ObservedObject var state = Look.state
    ...

Note: You can name it in any way.

You can try Lux in Playground.

Note:

To try Lux in playground, open Lux.xcworkspace and build Lux.framework for any simulator first.
