VFL语言

什么是VFL语言
VFL全称是Visual Format Language，翻译过来是“可视化格式语言”
VFL是苹果公司为了简化Autolayout的编码而推出的抽象语言

VFL的使用

使用VFL来创建约束数组
+ (NSArray *)constraintsWithVisualFormat:(NSString *)format options:(NSLayoutFormatOptions)opts metrics:(NSDictionary *)metrics views:(NSDictionary *)views;
format ：VFL语句
opts ：约束类型
metrics ：VFL语句中用到的具体数值
views ：VFL语句中用到的控件

创建一个字典（内部包含VFL语句中用到的控件）的快捷宏定义
NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(...)

VFL示例

H:[cancelButton(72)]-12-[acceptButton(50)]
canelButton宽72，acceptButton宽50，它们之间间距12

H:[wideView(>=60@700)]
wideView宽度大于等于60point，该约束条件优先级为700（优先级最大值为1000，优先级越高的约束越先被满足）

V:[redBox][yellowBox(==redBox)]
竖直方向上，先有一个redBox，其下方紧接一个高度等于redBox高度的yellowBox

H:|-10-[Find]-[FindNext]-[FindField(>=20)]-|
水平方向上，Find距离父view左边缘默认间隔宽度，之后是FindNext距离Find间隔默认宽度；再之后是宽度不小于20的FindField，它和FindNext以及父view右边缘的间距都是默认宽度。（竖线“|” 表示superview的边缘）
