Resources

This module contains methods for loading various resources from the platform. Resources are grabbed using a String key associated with a resource type. Making these resources available on the platform is the responsibility of the platform.

Installing

The library is available on Maven Central. You can import Kaluga Resources as follows:

repositories {
    // ...
    mavenCentral()
}
// ...
dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation("com.splendo.kaluga:resources:$kalugaVersion")
}

String

You can treat any String as a key to a localized String value. By default, this loads the String in the Localizable.strings (iOS) or strings.xml (Android) files declared in the main project scope. A StringLoader class is provided to overwrite this behaviour.

StyledString

Strings can be styled with StringStyleAttribute using the styled methods. This requires a platform specific StyledStringBuilder.Provider

val styledStringBuilderProvider: StyledStringBuilder.Provider // provide from platform
val styledString = "Partial Styled text".styled(
    styledStringBuilderProvider,
    defaultTextStyle,
    { Pair(StringStyleAttribute.CharacterStyleAttribute.TextStyle(TextStyle(defaultFont, DefaultColors.red, 12.0f)), IntRange(0, 13)) }
)

KalugaColor

The KalugaColor class is associated with UIColor (iOS) and @ColorRes Int (Android). You can treat any String as a key to a KalugaColor value. By default, this loads the Color in the Color Assets (iOS) or color.xml (Android) files declared in the main project scope. A KalugaColorLoader class is provided to overwrite this behaviour.

Default web colors are available through DefaultColors

Colors can also be modified easily. Blend colors by using blend methods such as backdropColor burn sourceColor or change their luminance using darkenBy or lightenBy. Use hsl to get a HSLColor instance of the color.

KalugaImage

The KalugaImage class is associated with UIImage (iOS) and Drawable (Android). You can treat any String as a key to a KalugaImage value. By default, this loads the Image with the corresponding name declared in the main project scope. An ImageLoader class is provided to overwrite this behaviour.

TintedImage

Create a TintedImage from a KalugaImage and a KalugaColor using KalugaImage.tinted(color). To get a platform specific image:

• On Android call TintedImage.drawable. For compose use the Resources Compose library
• On iOS, create a UIImage using TintedImage.uiImage

  UIImage cannot be Tinted on SwiftUI. To use TintedImage from a SwiftUI View, import the Kaluga SwiftUI scripts with the includeResources setting and call TintedImage.swiftUI/TintedImage.resizableSwiftUI

KalugaFont

The KalugaFont class is associated with UIFont (iOS) and Typeface (Android). You can treat any String as a key to a KalugaFont value. By default, this loads the Font with the same name on iOS and the font resource declared in font.xml on Android, as declared in the main project scope. A FontLoader class is provided to overwrite this behaviour.

Unlike the other resources, Font loading may be suspended.

Styling

KalugaLabel and KalugaTextStyle

Create a text style with custom font, size and color to share style texts across applications:

val defaultTextStyle = KalugaTextStyle(defaultFont, DefaultColors.dimGray, 12.0f)

KalugaTextStyles can be used to create a KalugaLabel that can easily be converted to platform specific labels. In addition to a KalugaLabel.Plain you cna also create styled labels using KalugaLabel.Styled. The latter requires a StyledStringBuilder.Provider.

KalugaLabel.Plain("Default Text", defaultTextStyle)
val styledStringBuilderProvider: StyledStringBuilder.Provider // provide from platform
KalugaLabel.Styled("Partial Styled text".styled(styledStringBuilderProvider, defaultTextStyle, { Pair(StringStyleAttribute.CharacterStyleAttribute.TextStyle(TextStyle(defaultFont, DefaultColors.red, 12.0f)), IntRange(0, 13)) })),

Android

For compose use the Resources Compose library

You can easily bind a KalugaLabel to a TextView by using TextView.bindLabel(label) To only apply a TextStyle use TextView.applyTextStyle(textStyle)

iOS

For SwiftUI see Kaluga SwiftUI

You can easily bind a KalugaLabel to a UILabel or UITextView by using UILabel.bindLabel(label) or UITextView.bindLabel(label) respectively To only apply a TextStyle use UILabel.applyTextStyle(textStyle), UITextView.bindLabel(label) or UITextField.bindLabel(label)

KalugaBackgroundStyle

Create a KalugaBackgroundStyle to apply a background to any view. A KalugaBackgroundStyle takes a FillStyle, StrokeStyle and Shape to describe the background.

FillStyle can be either Solid or Gradient, where Gradient requires a GradientStyle to be created. StrokeStyle can be either None, removing all strokes, or Stroke, taking a width and Color to describe the stroke Shape determines the shape of the Background. It can be either Rectangle or Oval. The Rectangle shape allows for rounded corners to be set.

The GradientStyle can be Linear, Radial, or Angular and is created from either a list of Color or ColorPoint, where the ColorPoint specifies the position of the color on a scale of 0.0- 1.0

KalugaBackgroundStyle(
    KalugaBackgroundStyle.FillStyle.Solid(DefaultColors.deepSkyBlue),
    KalugaBackgroundStyle.StrokeStyle.Stroke(2.0f, DefaultColors.white),
    KalugaBackgroundStyle.Shape.Rectangle(10.0f, setOf(KalugaBackgroundStyle.Shape.Rectangle.Corner.TOP_LEFT, KalugaBackgroundStyle.Shape.Rectangle.Corner.BOTTOM_LEFT))
)

Android

For compose use the Resources Compose library

Apply a KalugaBackgroundStyle to any View using View.applyBackgroundStyle(backgroundStyle

iOS

For SwiftUI see Kaluga SwiftUI

Apply a KalugaBackgroundStyle to any UIView using UIView.applyBackgroundStyle(backgroundStyle) or to a CALayer using CALayer.applyBackgroundStyle(backgroundStyle, bounds)

KalugaButton and KalugaButtonStyle

Like KalugaTextStyle for a Label, a KalugaButtonStyle can be created for a button.

A KalugaButtonStyle takes a font, textSize, text alignment and a ButtonStateStyle for its default, pressed, and disabled states. The ButtonStateStyle consists of a text color and a KalugaBackgroundStyle describing the background of the button.

KalugaButtonStyle(
    defaultFont,
    12.0f,
    defaultStyle = ButtonStateStyle(DefaultColors.white, DefaultColors.deepSkyBlue, KalugaBackgroundStyle.Shape.Rectangle(10.0f, setOf(KalugaBackgroundStyle.Shape.Rectangle.Corner.TOP_LEFT, KalugaBackgroundStyle.Shape.Rectangle.Corner.BOTTOM_LEFT))),
    pressedStyle = ButtonStateStyle(DefaultColors.azure, DefaultColors.lightSkyBlue, KalugaBackgroundStyle.Shape.Rectangle(5.0f, setOf(KalugaBackgroundStyle.Shape.Rectangle.Corner.TOP_LEFT, KalugaBackgroundStyle.Shape.Rectangle.Corner.BOTTOM_RIGHT))),
    disabledStyle = ButtonStateStyle(DefaultColors.black, DefaultColors.lightGray, KalugaBackgroundStyle.Shape.Rectangle(10.0f))
)

Convenience methods exist to create plain colored buttons or even just textButtons

val redBackgroundButtonStyle = KalugaButtonStyle(
    defaultTextStyle,
    backgroundColor = DefaultColors.red,
    pressedBackgroundColor = DefaultColors.maroon,
    disabledBackgroundColor = DefaultColors.lightGray
)

val defaultButtonStyle = KalugaButtonStyle(defaultTextStyle)

Like KalugaLabel a KalugaButton exists to support converting to platform specific UI. Similar to the label a KalugaButton can be either Plain or Styled and takes a closure to determine its action

KalugaButton.Plain("Press me", redBackgroundButtonStyle,  isEnabled = true) {
    // Handle button press
}
val styledStringBuilderProvider: StyledStringBuilder.Provider // provide from platform
KalugaButton.Styled(
    "Partial Styled text".styled(styledStringBuilderProvider, defaultTextStyle, { Pair(StringStyleAttribute.CharacterStyleAttribute.TextStyle(TextStyle(defaultFont, DefaultColors.red, 12.0f)), IntRange(0, 13)) })
    defaultButtonStyle,
    isEnabled = true
) {
    // Handle button press
}

Android

For compose use the Resources Compose library

Bind a KalugaButton to a Button by using Button.bindButton(kalugaButton) It is also possible to apply a KalugaButtonStyle using Button.applyButtonStyle(style). This method also allows you to pass a RippleStyle to modify the ripple behaviour.

iOS

For SwiftUI see Kaluga SwiftUI

Bind a KalugaButton to a UIButton by using UIButton.bindButton(kalugaButton) It is also possible to apply a ButtonStyle using UIButton.applyStyle(style)

Testing

Use the test-utils-resources module to get mockable Resources.
