I want to have my header and footer almost take up the entire screen (there will just be a thin line left in the middle which will contain a textbox. If the user enters the right password, I want the textbox to disappear and the header and footer to gradually get shorter (making more room for content to appear in the center of the screen).
- Is it possible to apply a transition to the height of the header and footer on a
HeaderFooterLayout
?
- How do I show a typical password box where the characters all show as *'s?
Like many animations that are not supported by default, you can add a transition by using the Transitionable class.. Here is an example that expands the header when you click it..
var Engine = require("famous/core/Engine");
var Surface = require("famous/core/Surface");
var HeaderFooterLayout = require("famous/views/HeaderFooterLayout");
var Transitionable = require("famous/transitions/Transitionable");
var Easing = require("famous/transitions/Easing");
var mainContext = Engine.createContext();
var layout = new HeaderFooterLayout({
headerSize: 100,
footerSize: 50
});
var header = new Surface({
size: [undefined, undefined],
content: "Header",
classes: ["red-bg"],
properties: {
lineHeight: "100px",
textAlign: "center"
}
})
var open = false;
header.on("click",function(){
var transition = {duration: 400, curve: Easing.inOutQuad };
var start = open ? 200 : 100 ;
var end = open ? 100 : 200 ;
open = !open;
var transitionable = new Transitionable(start);
var prerender = function(){ layout.setOptions({ headerSize: transitionable.get()} ) };
var complete = function(){ Engine.removeListener('prerender', prerender) };
Engine.on('prerender', prerender);
transitionable.set(end, transition, complete);
});
layout.header.add(header);
layout.content.add(new Surface({
size: [undefined, undefined],
content: "Content",
classes: ["grey-bg"],
properties: {
lineHeight: window.innerHeight - 150 + 'px',
textAlign: "center"
}
}));
layout.footer.add(new Surface({
size: [undefined, 50],
content: "Footer",
classes: ["red-bg"],
properties: {
lineHeight: "50px",
textAlign: "center"
}
}));
mainContext.add(layout);
As for the password field, you simply create an InputSurface and set it's type to password..
inputSurface = new InputSurface({
size:[200,60],
type: 'password'
});
^ Watch out for performance issues when using Transitionable on headerSize. Especially iPhones with iOS 7 seem to be acting glitchy.
You can also animate header / footer size via CSS transitions, although it's a bit of a bubblegum fix and has it's pitfalls:
var headerContainer = new ContainerSurface({
size: [undefined, 50],
classes: ['my-header']
});
layout.header.add(headerContainer);
headerContainer.setSize([undefined,300]);
Then in CSS:
.my-header { transition: 200ms all; }
