Idea: make.superview

[grav]

I often use a pattern as the following:

- (instancetype)init...
UIView * mySubView = [UIView new];
[myView addSubview:mySubView];
[mySubView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
    make.edges.equalTo(mySubView.superview);
}];

So I refer to myView indirectly using mySubView.superview. This is because it often eases refactoring, for instance if I want to introduce a container view between myView and mySubView.

I wonder if it would make sense to introduce a make.superview? This way, the constraints related to the actual view would be easier to recognize.

Also, I try to use mas_makeConstraints: as often as I can, since in my mind, constraints are almost always immutable, except when animating.

What are your comments to the above points? Are they patterns or anti-patterns? :-)

@grav this has been suggested before see #61.

However if you enable autoboxing in v0.5 you can know write this as

make.edges.equalTo(UIEdgeInsetsZero);

Sorry haven't had the time to update the docs recently. But take a look at the changelog

@grav closing for now, but happy to reopen if this doesn't address your use case
