Material: clarification - switch properties

[johndpope]

it wasn't clear to me how to achieve this stretched look from looking through switch class.

thus far

[johndpope]

I can achieve making switch longer by changing these internal variable values. but need better way to over ride this. It does say it's open.... maybe I'll try subclassing it.

[johndpope]

this seems to get the job done.

import Foundation
import Material

class MySwitch:Switch{
    open override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        switch switchSize {
        case .small:
            return CGSize(width: 44, height: 44)
        case .medium:
            return CGSize(width: 30, height: 30)
        case .large:
            return CGSize(width: 36, height: 36)
        }
    }

    /// Fix for tapping. 
    override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
        super.touchesBegan(touches, with: event)
        print("touchesBegan")
        self.toggle()
    }
}

Another way you could do this is by using a Bar and setting the views to the rightViews, or really any side and then placing the Bar in the position you would like.

Hi Daniel, thanks for your hard work. Can I ask - did you ever attempt to do an expand menu from the kebab / overflow / more icon on timeline?

[johndpope]

perhaps - maybe not production worthy - but just a crude gist you could share?

[danieldahan]

@johndpope You mean Expansion Panels ? If so, this is good, I will probably want to add these soon, they are quite useful. Thanks!

There are a bunch of new features coming. I am working on a way to help make the process of creating new components much easier and faster. Thank you for your support!

like a popup menu / but in a timeline / tableview /collectionview setting.

Yes, I have a prototype for a PopMenu. I am almost done the latest rebuild of the PageTabBarController, now being called TabMenuController. Once that is done, the PopMenu will probably be one of the next on the list to complete, alongside the BottomSheetController :)
