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 your Podfile:

pod 'SwiftyMenu', '~> 1.1.0'

Swift Package Manager

1. Automatically in Xcode:

• Click File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency...
• Use the package URL https://github.com/KarimEbrahemAbdelaziz/SwiftyMenu to add TimelaneCombine to your project.

2. 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

1. Init SwiftyMenu

/// Init SwiftyMenu from Code
let dropDownCode = SwiftyMenu(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 0, height: 40))

2. Add SwiftyMenu as Subview

/// Add it as subview
view.addSubview(dropDownCode)

3. 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 configure SwiftyMenu 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

1. Create an Array of 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")
]

2. Assign it to SwiftyMenu DataSource 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

1. Conform to SwiftyMenu Delegate 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.")
    }
}

2. Assign SwiftyMenu delegate

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 for SwiftyMenu (More to be added soon).

To configure UI customization for SwiftyMenu:

1. Create SwiftyMenuAttributes property

private var codeMenuAttributes = SwiftyMenuAttributes()

2. 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
