With Swift Package Manager

Starting with Xcode 9.0 you can use built-in swift package manager, follow apple documentation. First supported version is 2.3.0

With CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries in your projects. To install with cocoaPods, follow the "Get Started" section on CocoaPods.

Podfile

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'LGSideMenuController'

Then import framework where you need to use the library

import LGSideMenuController

With Carthage

Carthage is a lightweight dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C. It leverages CocoaTouch modules and is less invasive than CocoaPods. To install with carthage, follow the instruction on Carthage.

Cartfile

github "Friend-LGA/LGSideMenuController"

Then import framework where you need to use the library

import LGSideMenuController

Usage

Initialization

You can use view controllers or views to initialize LGSideMenuController:

public init()

public init(rootViewController: UIViewController?,
            leftViewController: UIViewController?,
            rightViewController: UIViewController?)

public init(rootView: UIView?,
            leftView: UIView?,
            rightView: UIView?)

Setup

To set or to change root, left or right view controllers or views, call:

sideMenuController.rootViewController = rootViewController
sideMenuController.leftViewController = leftViewController
sideMenuController.rightViewController = rightViewController

sideMenuController.rootView = rootView
sideMenuController.leftView = leftView
sideMenuController.rightView = rightView

Quick Example

Without Storyboard

Create root view controller (for example UINavigationController)
Create left view controller (for example UITableViewController)
Create right view controller (for example UITableViewController)
Create instance of LGSideMenuController with these controllers
Configure

let rootViewController = UINavigationController()
let leftViewController = UITableViewController()
let rightViewController = UITableViewController()

let sideMenuController = LGSideMenuController(rootViewController: rootViewController,
                                              leftViewController: leftViewController,
                                              rightViewController: rightViewController)

sideMenuController.leftViewWidth = 250.0
sideMenuController.leftViewPresentationStyle = .slideAbove

sideMenuController.rightViewWidth = 100.0
sideMenuController.leftViewPresentationStyle = .slideBelow

With Storyboard

Create instance of LGSideMenuController
Create root view controller (for example UINavigationController)
Create left view controller (for example UITableViewController)
Create right view controller (for example UITableViewController)
Now you need to connect them all using segues of class LGSideMenuSegue with identifiers: root, left, right.

You can change leftViewWidth, leftViewPresentationStyle, rightViewWidth and rightViewPresentationStyle inside LGSideMenuController's attributes inspector. There you can also find all other properties.

For better examples check demo projects.

Blur

You can use UIBlurEffect with next properties:

leftViewBackgroundBlurEffect: UIBlurEffect
rightViewBackgroundBlurEffect: UIBlurEffect

rootViewCoverBlurEffectForLeftView: UIBlurEffect
rootViewCoverBlurEffectForRightView: UIBlurEffect

leftViewCoverBlurEffect: UIBlurEffect
rightViewCoverBlurEffect: UIBlurEffect

For example:

sideMenuController.leftViewBackgroundBlurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .regular)

If you want to change color of blurred view, use:

leftViewBackgroundColor: UIColor
rightViewBackgroundColor: UIColor

rootViewCoverColorForLeftView: UIColor
rootViewCoverColorForRightView: UIColor

leftViewCoverColor: UIColor
rightViewCoverColor: UIColor

For example:

sideMenuController.leftViewBackgroundColor = UIColor(red: 0.0, green: 0.5, blue: 1.0, alpha: 0.1)

If you want to change intensity of blurred view, use:

leftViewBackgroundAlpha: CGFloat
rightViewBackgroundAlpha: CGFloat

rootViewCoverAlphaForLeftView: CGFloat
rootViewCoverAlphaForRightView: CGFloat

CGFloatleftViewCoverAlpha: CGFloat
rightViewCoverAlpha: CGFloat

For example:

sideMenuController.leftViewBackgroundAlpha = 0.9

Status Bar

If you want to have different status bar styles for root, left and right views, then you need to override prefersStatusBarHidden, preferredStatusBarStyle and preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation in corresponding view controller or instead you can use these properties:

rootViewStatusBarHidden: BOOL
rootViewStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle
rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation

leftViewStatusBarHidden: BOOL
leftViewStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle
leftViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation

rightViewStatusBarHidden: BOOL
rightViewStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle
rightViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation

These properties have greater priority than overridden inside controllers prefersStatusBarHidden, preferredStatusBarStyle, preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation.

For example, you had sideMenuController with rootViewController, leftViewController and rightViewController. For rootViewController, you can override it's default methods or use sideMenuController's properties:

// In RootViewController.swift

override var prefersStatusBarHidden : Bool {
    return false
}

override var preferredStatusBarStyle : UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .default
}

override var preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation : UIStatusBarAnimation {
    return .none
}

// OR in SideMenuController.swift

isRootViewStatusBarHidden = false
rootViewStatusBarStyle = .default
rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation = .none

// OR in SideMenuController.swift

override var isRootViewStatusBarHidden: Bool {
    get { return false }
    set { super.isRootViewStatusBarHidden = newValue }
}

override var rootViewStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    get { return .default }
    set { super.rootViewStatusBarStyle = newValue }
}

override var rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation {
    get { return .none }
    set { super.rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation = newValue }
}

For leftViewController and rightViewController approach is the same.

Always Visible Options

Sometimes, for example on iPad, you need to have toggleable side menu on portrait orientation and always visible side menu on landscape orientation

You can achieve it with properties:

leftViewAlwaysVisibleOptions: LGSideMenuController.AlwaysVisibleOptions
rightViewAlwaysVisibleOptions: LGSideMenuController.AlwaysVisibleOptions

You can choose multiple values like this:

sideMenuController.leftViewAlwaysVisibleOptions = [.padLandscape, .phoneLandscape]
// or
sideMenuController.leftViewAlwaysVisibleOptions = [.landscape]

NavigationController's Back Gesture

Back gesture for UINavigationController has greater priority then swipe gesture for LGSideMenuController. But if you want different behaviour, you can disable interactivePopGestureRecognizer

navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.isEnabled = false

ScrollView

If you have scroll view, or any interactable elements inside sideMenuController, they will work until you swipe outside of swipeGestureArea for sideMenuController. If you need more place to interact with your view then you can decrease leftViewSwipeGestureRange, rightViewSwipeGestureRange or disable it.

sideMenuController.swipeGestureArea = .borders // Default

sideMenuController.leftViewSwipeGestureRange = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureRangeMake(0.0, 22.0)
sideMenuController.rightViewSwipeGestureRange = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureRangeMake(22.0, 0.0)

// OR disable gestures completely

sideMenuController.leftViewSwipeGestureEnabled = false
sideMenuController.rightViewSwipeGestureEnabled = false

Handle Actions

To handle actions you can use delegate, closures or notifications:

Delegate

// LGSideMenuDelegate.swift

func willShowLeftView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController)
func didShowLeftView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController)

func willHideLeftView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController)
func didHideLeftView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController)

func willShowRightView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController)
func didShowRightView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController)

func willHideRightView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController)
func didHideRightView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController)

func showAnimationsForLeftView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController, duration: TimeInterval)
func hideAnimationsForLeftView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController, duration: TimeInterval)

func showAnimationsForRightView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController, duration: TimeInterval)
func hideAnimationsForRightView(sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController, duration: TimeInterval)

Closures

var willShowLeftView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController) -> Void
var didShowLeftView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController) -> Void

var willHideLeftView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController) -> Void
var didHideLeftView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController) -> Void

var willShowRightView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController) -> Void
var didShowRightView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController) -> Void

var willHideRightView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController) -> Void
var didHideRightView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController) -> Void

var showAnimationsForLeftView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController, duration: TimeInterval) -> Void
var hideAnimationsForLeftView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController, duration: TimeInterval) -> Void

var showAnimationsForRightView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController, duration: TimeInterval) -> Void
var hideAnimationsForRightView: (sideMenuController: LGSideMenuController, duration: TimeInterval) -> Void

Notifications

let LGSideMenuController.Notification.willShowLeftView
let LGSideMenuController.Notification.didShowLeftView

let LGSideMenuController.Notification.willHideLeftView
let LGSideMenuController.Notification.didHideLeftView

let LGSideMenuController.Notification.willShowRightView
let LGSideMenuController.Notification.didShowRightView

let LGSideMenuController.Notification.willHideRightView
let LGSideMenuController.Notification.didHideRightView

let LGSideMenuController.Notification.showAnimationsForLeftView
let LGSideMenuController.Notification.hideAnimationsForLeftView

let LGSideMenuController.Notification.showAnimationsForRightView
let LGSideMenuController.Notification.hideAnimationsForRightView
