Support header and footer views w/o supplying a ReusableView #8

Closed dblock closed 10 years ago

dblock commented 10 years ago

Should be able to add an arbitrary header and/or footer view above the masonry layout via supplementary views.

in eigen we currently have the ability to specify a header view in the EmbeddedArtworkViewController, which sometimes uses ARCollectionViewMasonryLayout to layout the artworks (in the Favorites view for example). Personally I find it confusing and would prefer that the view that represents the collection of objects exist independently of any other views.

That's precisely the view that has a problem.

The gist here is that the header and the footer need to scroll together with the masonry layout. So maybe we need a stack of some kind that supports semantics of a CollectionView where cells are de-serialized in a stable way that doesn't consume more and more memory.

@dblock gotcha. last time i looked at that view, i found myself wishing it was a stack view where the artwork collection view was just one of several views and wouldn't have to know about the view above it.
