UIView

The UIView is the base class responsible for managing the lifecycle and visibility of an UI Element. It provides control over UI visibility states, fade animations, and allows for custom actions during these transitions.

Constructor

public UIView(GameObject parent, 
    VisualElement parentElement, 
    UIStartVisibility startVisibility = UIStartVisibility.Visible, 
    float fadeDuration = 0.5f, 
    EasingMode easingMode = EasingMode.EaseOutCirc)

Name	Type	Description
parent	GameObject	Parent GameObject used to control lifecycle of the UIView.
parentElement	VisualElement	The VisualElement that serves as the parent for this UIView.
startVisibility	UIStartVisibility	The UIStartVisibility enum defines the possible initial visibility states of the parentElement.
fadeDuration	float	Specifies the duration of the fade transition, in seconds.

Public Methods

AddAction

public void AddAction(IUIViewAction action)

Adds a new action to the view's action list. If the view is currently visible (faded in), the action’s OnFadeIn method will be triggered immediately. The action will be automatically enabled or disabled in sync with the view's fade-in or fade-out state.

Example usage: Register an action that returns to the previous screen when the Escape key is pressed.

UIView.AddAction(new UIViewActionEscape(() => Return()));

See Example: Multi Page UI which demonstrates usage of UIViewActionEscape.
