ability to have text fields in your RedAlert alerts... works in iOS 7… and 8. enjoy :)

yo all.

I saw #8 and I needed this feature. And while we use Bubblewrap, I didn't want to, when I already have a dedicated library for alerts (RedAlert.) Also, BW didn't seem to support iOS 8 fully. And I don't want the warning.

So I wrote this for ya. I tried to share the API as much as possible between 7 and 8, but truth is the style is a bit different... anyway I'm happy with what I did. There's 2 tests I added as well. Couldn't figure out how to test if the text is returned, but I hand tested it. But don't take my word for it.

iOS 7

# textfield_style may also be "secure" which is simply a password field, or omitted for just a single plain text field
# in iOS7 there is no way to add more than 2 textfields...
# tho since I shared API, "placeholder" is optional, but actually having elements in "textfields" is not. change to your liking. it is just designed to keep the API similar between the 7 and 8
rmq.app.alert(message: "Plz login", textfield_style: :login, textfields: [placeholder: "User", placeholder: "Password"]) do |action, text|
# you know how to use action.
# "text" will be an array of textfield values.
p text
end

iOS8

# textfield_style is not used here
# "secure" is optional
# "placeholder" is also optional, but something must be in the array or fields won't be created. placeholder is recommended, as nothing else will do anything... also helpful to user.
rmq.app.alert(message: "Plz login", textfields: [{placeholder: "User"}, {placeholder: "Password", secure: true}]) do |action, text|
# same as above. text is array of field values.
p text
end

Thanks, and good luck! - @jsilverMDX

Hey! I love this. Funny, is that I JUST had an API syntax conversation with @derekgreenberg on the best way to implement #8

I checked in with him and he says he's nearly done with a very nice API which will be shared in iOS7 and iOS8. He's going to massage your logic in with his PR which will give us a unified syntax, and TEMPLATES! I hope that's ok, I plan to credit you both in the README docs. 😃

@GantMan yeah, totally. up to you. 👍 for now, this serves my purposes, but when @derekgreenberg's work is merged (and published) I will upgrade my app to the new style. :) thanks!

[GantMan]

closing this now. Derek has finalized his PR. Both of you are mentioned in the readme 👍
