HTML views on iOS

[James Gregory]

Hi all,

I'm still getting my head around Calatrava, so please excuse my stupid questions.

I've created a project, which has the conversion example in. I'm trying to change the project so there are no native views, and the HTML shell is used everywhere. How can I do this?

If I remove and/or don't have a UIViewController implementation, nothing works. Looking at the code, the TWBridgePageRegistry.ensurePageWithName will always try to create a native view. Am I missing something here?

Cheers,

James

The closest I've gotten now is to create a View Controller for each page, and have each one just subclass WebViewController (the Calatrava provided one) and override pageName with the same name as the HAML file. Is this the correct approach?

That is correct, you always have to provide a UIViewController. For shell pages you must extend WebViewController and override pageName method.

Ok, glad I'm on the right track.

Would it make sense to change this behaviour, so if a custom UIViewController isn't found Calatrava would just spin up a WebViewController instead?
