IOS Storyboards

Presented By: Jay Dee

What is Storyboard?

Storyboarding is an awesome newly added feature in iOS 5 that will save you a lot of time for building the user interfaces of your apps.

Use of Storyboard

Storyboard can help in reducing the amount of line of code for page rendering (i.e. code to write to go from one screen to next).The whole application uses a single storyboard that contains the UI designs of all of these view controllers and also keep tracks of relationships among them.

Advantages of Storyboards

Storyboard has a better conceptual overview of all the screens in the app and the connections between them. As the entire design is in a single file, it’s easier to keep track of everything rather than spread out over many separate nibs (xib files).

The storyboard describes the transitions between the various screens. These transitions are called “segues” and you create them by simply ctrl-dragging from one view controller to the next view controller.

The Storyboards have a lot of advantages over regular nibs

Storyboards make working with table views a lot easier with the new prototype cells and static cells features. It’s very easy to design the table views completely in the storyboard editor.

A sole container for all the view controllers (View Controllers, Navigation Controllers, etc.).

Its act like a manager for connecting those views.

It provides a complete look at the flow of the application that you can never get from individual nib files floating around.

Limitations of Storyboards

It’s not supported for iOS 4 and below.

Storyboards only work on devices running iOS 5 or above.

If your project requirement is such that you need to design your interface programmatically, then the storyboard has minimum usage.
