Manual Installation
The class file required for PageMenu is located in the Classes folder in the root of this repository as listed below:
- CAPSPageMenu.swift
How to use PageMenu
First you will have to create a view controller that is supposed to serve as the base of the page menu. This can be a view controller with its xib file as a separate file as well as having its xib file in storyboard. Following this you will have to go through a few simple steps outlined below in order to get everything up and running.
1) Add the files listed in the installation section to your project
2) Add a property for CAPSPageMenu in your base view controller
Swift
var pageMenu : CAPSPageMenu?
Objective-C
@property (nonatomic) CAPSPageMenu *pagemenu;
3) Add the following code in the viewDidLoad function in your view controller
Swift
// Array to keep track of controllers in page menu
var controllerArray : [UIViewController] = []
// Create variables for all view controllers you want to put in the
// page menu, initialize them, and add each to the controller array.
// (Can be any UIViewController subclass)
// Make sure the title property of all view controllers is set
// Example:
var controller : UIViewController = UIViewController(nibName: "controllerNibName", bundle: nil)
controller.title = "SAMPLE TITLE"
controllerArray.append(controller)
// Customize page menu to your liking (optional) or use default settings by sending nil for 'options' in the init
// Example:
var parameters: [CAPSPageMenuOption] = [
.MenuItemSeparatorWidth(4.3),
.UseMenuLikeSegmentedControl(true),
.MenuItemSeparatorPercentageHeight(0.1)
]
// Initialize page menu with controller array, frame, and optional parameters
pageMenu = CAPSPageMenu(viewControllers: controllerArray, frame: CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, self.view.frame.width, self.view.frame.height), pageMenuOptions: parameters)
// Lastly add page menu as subview of base view controller view
// or use pageMenu controller in you view hierachy as desired
self.view.addSubview(pageMenu!.view)
Objective-C
// Array to keep track of controllers in page menu
NSMutableArray *controllerArray = [NSMutableArray array];
// Create variables for all view controllers you want to put in the
// page menu, initialize them, and add each to the controller array.
// (Can be any UIViewController subclass)
// Make sure the title property of all view controllers is set
// Example:
UIViewController *controller = [UIViewController alloc] initWithNibname:@"controllerNibnName" bundle:nil];
controller.title = @"SAMPLE TITLE";
[controllerArray addObject:controller];
// Customize page menu to your liking (optional) or use default settings by sending nil for 'options' in the init
// Example:
NSDictionary *parameters = @{CAPSPageMenuOptionMenuItemSeparatorWidth: @(4.3),
CAPSPageMenuOptionUseMenuLikeSegmentedControl: @(YES),
CAPSPageMenuOptionMenuItemSeparatorPercentageHeight: @(0.1)
};
// Initialize page menu with controller array, frame, and optional parameters
_pageMenu = [[CAPSPageMenu alloc] initWithViewControllers:controllerArray frame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height) options:parameters];
// Lastly add page menu as subview of base view controller view
// or use pageMenu controller in you view hierachy as desired
[self.view addSubview:_pageMenu.view];
4) Optional - Delegate Methods
In order to use the delegate methods first set the delegate of page menu to the parent view controller when setting it up
Swift
// Optional delegate
pageMenu!.delegate = self
Objective-C
// Optional delegate
_pageMenu.delegate = self;
After that you will be able to set up the following delegate methods inside of your parent view controller
Swift
func willMoveToPage(controller: UIViewController, index: Int){}
func didMoveToPage(controller: UIViewController, index: Int){}
Objective-C
// Optional delegate
- (void)willMoveToPage:(UIViewController *)controller index:(NSInteger)index {}
- (void)didMoveToPage:(UIViewController *)controller index:(NSInteger)index {}
5) You should now be ready to use PageMenu!!
