This library provides a way to create views from `xib` files. It's useful when you need to create a custom view with a complex hierarchy of subviews.

> [!IMPORTANT]  

> 1. the root view and `File's Owner` must be specified as your class, which inherits from `XibView` 

> 2. all outlets must be connected with `File's Owner` object inside `xib`

> 3. root view in `xib` must have minimum 1 subview

As result you will get a view with hierarchy:

- MyView - file's owner

  - MyView - root view

      - subview

      - subview

      - subview

How to create from code:

```swift

let main: XibViewMain = .init()

view.addSubview(main)

```

You can use you custom views inside other `xib`/`storyboard` by setting class type to your custom view class and connect outlets to it. 

To handle correct size in `xib` just set intrinsic size to `placeholder`.

How to create from other `xib`:

```swift

final class MyViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var main: XibViewMain!

}

```

see [XibViewMain.xib](./Tests/views/XibViewMain.xib) and [XibViewMain.swift](./Tests/views/XibViewMain.swift) as example
