ClockKit households and templates, there are such a lot of of them. It is a bit bit time consuming if you’re on the lookout for the appropriate one.
The official ClockKit documentation on Apple’s website is effectively written, however it lacks a generic overview of all the prevailing issues. I’ve created a bit cheatsheet so that you can simplify the looking out course of for the appropriate complication fashion.
This cheatsheet helps watchOS 5. So as to get the template title you simply have so as to add up the names within the correct order. Normally left to proper, prime to backside. Don’t fear you’ll get it. 😅
Swift pattern code is beneath the cheatsheet, please scroll! 👇
Be happy to proper click on and obtain the cheatsheet picture.
ClockKit code pattern in Swift
This little snippet accommodates all of the ClockKit complication households and templates. 😎
import ClockKit
class ComplicationDataSource: NSObject, CLKComplicationDataSource {
func getSupportedTimeTravelDirections(
for complication: CLKComplication,
withHandler handler: @escaping (CLKComplicationTimeTravelDirections
) -> Void) {
handler([.forward, .backward])
}
func getCurrentTimelineEntry(
for complication: CLKComplication,
withHandler handler: @escaping (CLKComplicationTimelineEntry?) -> Void
) {
let date = Date()
var template: CLKComplicationTemplate!
swap complication.household {
case .circularSmall:

}
let entry = CLKComplicationTimelineEntry(

complicationTemplate: template
)
handler(entry)
}
}
That’s it for now. Time is over. ⏰
