Requirements
- Xcode 10.2+
- Swift 5+
- iOS 10+
Installation
CocoaPods
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate SwiftyMenu into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in yourPodfile:
pod 'SwiftyMenu', '~> 1.1.0'
Swift Package Manager
- Automatically in Xcode:
https://github.com/KarimEbrahemAbdelaziz/SwiftyMenu to add TimelaneCombine to your project.
- Manually in your Package.swift file add:
.package(url: "https://github.com/KarimEbrahemAbdelaziz/SwiftyMenu", from: "1.1.0")
Usage
SwiftyMenu supports initialization from Storyboard and Code.
Initialization
Storyboard
Setup your view controller:// Connect view in storyboard with you outlet
@IBOutlet private weak var dropDownMenu: SwiftyMenu!
Then connect IBOutlet to Storyboard, and connect the Height Constraints of the menu as shown below.
Code
- Init
SwiftyMenu
/// Init SwiftyMenu from Code
let dropDownCode = SwiftyMenu(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 0, height: 40))
- Add
SwiftyMenuasSubview
/// Add it as subview
view.addSubview(dropDownCode)
- Setup Constraints
/// Add constraints to SwiftyMenu
/// You must take care of hegiht constraint, please.
dropDownCode.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
let horizontalConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: dropDownCode, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.centerX, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: view, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.centerX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
let topConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: dropDownCode, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.top, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: otherView, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.top, multiplier: 1, constant: 64)
let widthConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: dropDownCode, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.width, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: nil, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 255)
dropDownCode.heightConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: dropDownCode, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.height, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: nil, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 40)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate(
[
horizontalConstraint,
topConstraint,
widthConstraint,
dropDownCode.heightConstraint
]
)
Configure DataSource
To configureSwiftyMenu DataSource, you'll need to prepare your Model to be able to presented and retrived from the menu. Then, create and assign the DataSource to SwiftyMenu.
Setup Models
We are supporting Generic Data Source, all you have to do is conforming to our Generic Protocol on which type you want to add to the menu.- Example of
String
extension String: SwiftyMenuDisplayable {
public var displayableValue: String {
return self
}
public var retrivableValue: Any {
return self
}
}
- Example of custom
Struct
struct MealSize {
let id: Int
let name: String
}
extension MealSize: SwiftyMenuDisplayable {
public var displayableValue: String {
return self.name
}
public var retrievableValue: Any {
return self.id
}
}
Assign DataSource
- Create an
Arrayof your models
/// Define menu data source
/// The data source type must conform to SwiftyMenuDisplayable
private let dropDownOptionsDataSource = [
MealSize(id: 1, name: "Small"),
MealSize(id: 2, name: "Medium"),
MealSize(id: 3, name: "Large"),
MealSize(id: 4, name: "Combo Large")
]
- Assign it to
SwiftyMenuDataSource property
dropDownCode.items = dropDownOptionsDataSource
Capture Selection
SwiftyMenu supports 2 ways to capture the selected items, Delegate and Closures. You can use one or both of them at the same time.
Using Delegate
- Conform to
SwiftyMenuDelegate protocol
extension ViewController: SwiftyMenuDelegate {
// Get selected option from SwiftyMenu
func swiftyMenu(_ swiftyMenu: SwiftyMenu, didSelectItem item: SwiftyMenuDisplayable, atIndex index: Int) {
print("Selected item: \(item), at index: \(index)")
}
// NEW - Get selected option from SwiftyMenu
func swiftyMenu(_ swiftyMenu: SwiftyMenu, didDeselectItem item: SwiftyMenuDisplayable, atIndex index: Int){
print("deselected item: \(item), at index: \(index)")
}
// SwiftyMenu drop down menu will expand
func swiftyMenu(willExpand swiftyMenu: SwiftyMenu) {
print("SwiftyMenu willExpand.")
}
// SwiftyMenu drop down menu did expand
func swiftyMenu(didExpand swiftyMenu: SwiftyMenu) {
print("SwiftyMenu didExpand.")
}
// SwiftyMenu drop down menu will collapse
func swiftyMenu(willCollapse swiftyMenu: SwiftyMenu) {
print("SwiftyMenu willCollapse.")
}
// SwiftyMenu drop down menu did collapse
func swiftyMenu(didCollapse swiftyMenu: SwiftyMenu) {
print("SwiftyMenu didCollapse.")
}
}
- Assign
SwiftyMenudelegate
dropDownCode.delegate = self
Using Closures
You can use callbacks to know what happen:/// SwiftyMenu also supports CallBacks
dropDownCode.didSelectItem = { menu, item, index in
print("Selected \(item) at index: \(index)")
}
dropDownCode.willExpand = {
print("SwiftyMenu Will Expand!")
}
dropDownCode.didExpand = {
print("SwiftyMenu Expanded!")
}
dropDownCode.willCollapse = {
print("SwiftyMenu Will Collapse!")
}
dropDownCode.didCollapse = {
print("SwiftyMenu Collapsed!")
}
UI Customization
Having an amazing drop down menu is essential. So, there're a lot of UI customization forSwiftyMenu (More to be added soon).
To configure UI customization for SwiftyMenu:
- Create
SwiftyMenuAttributesproperty
private var codeMenuAttributes = SwiftyMenuAttributes()
- Assign it to
SwiftyMenu
/// Configure SwiftyMenu with the attributes
dropDownCode.configure(with: codeMenuAttributes)
Also before assigning it to SwiftyMenu you could customize the menu look using following attributes.
Placeholder
attributes.placeHolderStyle = .value(text: "Please Select Size", textColor: .lightGray)
Text Style
attributes.textStyle = .value(color: .gray, separator: " & ", font: .systemFont(ofSize: 12))
Scroll
attributes.scroll = .disabled
Selection Behavior
//NEW - Single selection disallowing deselection clicking the same item
attributes.multiSelect = .disabled(allowSingleDeselection: false)
//NEW - Single selection allowing deselection clicking the same item
attributes.multiSelect = .disabled(allowSingleDeselection: true)
//Multi selection enable
attributes.multiSelect = .enabled
attributes.hideOptionsWhenSelect = .enabled
Row Style
attributes.rowStyle = .value(height: 40, backgroundColor: .white, selectedColor: .white)
Frame Style
/// Rounded Corners
attributes.roundCorners = .all(radius: 8)
/// Menu Maximum Height
attributes.height = .value(height: 300)
/// Menu Border
attributes.border = .value(color: .gray, width: 0.5)
Arrow Style
/// SwiftyMenu have default arrow
attributes.arrowStyle = .value(isEnabled: true)
/// NEW - Now able to add a custom image, tint color and space between icon and text
attributes.arrowStyle = .value(isEnabled: true, image: image, tintColor: .purple, spacingBetweenText: 10.0)
Separator Style
attributes.separatorStyle = .value(color: .black, isBlured: false, style: .singleLine)
Header Style
attributes.headerStyle = .value(backgroundColor: .white, height: 40)
Accessory
attributes.accessory = .disabled
Animation
attributes.expandingAnimation = .linear
attributes.expandingTiming = .value(duration: 0.5, delay: 0)
attributes.collapsingAnimation = .linear
attributes.collapsingTiming = .value(duration: 0.5, delay: 0)
Margin Horizontal
/// Margin leading and trailing for title / placeholder
attributes.titleMarginHorizontal = .value(leading: 10, trailing: 20)
/// Margin leading and trailing for item list
attributes.itemMarginHorizontal = .value(leading: 10, trailing: 10)
Error Info
/// Default use the .red color
attributes.errorInfo = .default
/// Custom color for placeholder and icon if it's enabled
attributes.errorInfo = .custom(placeholderTextColor: .red, iconTintColor: .red)
Set Error
/// Enabling this will show the config in errorInfo
dropDown.setError(hasError: true)
New Functionalities
- Custom arrow and color and space between arrow and title
- Fix multi select title: showing now sorted by index
- Margin leading and trailing for title and items
- Handling deselection for multi and single selection
- Seting Error with custom color for title and arrow
