How to get ASCellNode's frame in it's container

[av0c0der]

If we get a cell from UICollectionView or UITableView it will have appropriate frame with right origin within the container, but origin point of ASCellNode that we got from ASCollectionNode or ASTableNode always equals to zero. I want to know this frame to change other subnode's frame in the container (ASColletionNode). Can I do this?

ASDK version: 2.0.2

Sure! You should convert the rect:

CGRect nodeFrame = [collectionNode convertRect:cellNode.bounds fromNode:cellNode]

[av0c0der]

func collectionNode(_ collectionNode: ASCollectionNode, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
  if let cellNode = collectionNode.nodeForItem(at: indexPath) {
    let nodeFrame = collectionNode.convert(cellNode.bounds, from: cellNode)
    print(nodeFrame.origin) // This will be equal to 0.0, 0.0
  }
}

I actually get non zero values for:
collectionNode.convert(cellNode.bounds from: cellNode).origin = CGPoint(457.66, -10.0)

But I want to convert this frame to screen coordinates (for UIViewControllerPreviewing) but using
collectionNode.convert(cellNode.frame, to: nil) gives me (-457.66, 253)

This both doesn't make sense to me since in this example the view debugger gives me an origin of (620, 0) (300 width cells, 10 spacing, 3. cell) and the screen coordinates should be around (80,250). Is it because the collectionNode is inside another cell node (which is in an ASTableNode)?

@jauzee was your issue resolved? If not could you reopen it? Otherwise I'll open another issue

@fruitcoder sorry, I didn't see your message. Now I was trying to solve this problem again, because in 2.6 it still does exist and finished with this:

func previewingContext(_ previewingContext: UIViewControllerPreviewing, viewControllerForLocation location: CGPoint) -> UIViewController? {
    let collectionNode = node.collectionNode
    guard
      let indexPath = collectionNode.indexPathForItem(at: location),
      let targetCell = collectionNode.view.visibleCells
        .first(where: { $0.frame.contains(location) }) else {
        return nil
    }
    
    previewingContext.sourceRect = targetCell.frame
    
    ...
}
