💻 Usage

Preparing your menu controller

To create and display your menu, you’ll need to create a custom CariocaController (UITableViewController & CariocaDataSource)

This will define your menu settings & appearance. Check DemoMenuContentController.swift for code sample.

Creating your menu

For the complete code, check MainViewController.swift.

if let controller = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "DemoMenu")
    as? CariocaController {
      addChildViewController(controller)
      carioca = CariocaMenu(controller: controller,
                            hostView: self.view,
                            edges: [.right, .left],
                            delegate: self,
                            indicator: CariocaCustomIndicatorView()
                            )
      carioca.addInHostView()
}

Managing rotation

To be able to manage the rotation of the menu, you’ll need to forward the rotation event to your menu instance.

override func viewWillTransition(to size: CGSize, with coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
  coordinator.animateAlongsideTransition(in: self.view, animation: nil, completion: { [weak self] _ in
    self?.carioca?.hostViewDidRotate()
  })
}

Creating your custom indicator

Here’s the simplest custom indicator. Feel free to check the CariocaIndicatorConfiguration extension for more customisation possibilities.

class CariocaCustomIndicatorView: UIView, CariocaIndicatorConfiguration {
  ///This will use the basic shape, and change the color to black.
  var color: UIColor = UIColor.black
}

Boomerang

A boomerang always comes back to it’s original place. By default, the boomerang is set to none. It means that the menu will stay where the user let it.

The other boomerang options are :

• horizontal : The indicator will return always on the original edge.
• vertical : The indicator will return always on the original Y position. It may switch from Edge.
• originalPosition : The indicator will always come back to it’s original position

👨‍💻 TODO

• Add a check for the edges at the initialisation. (Only .left & .right are allowed)
• Add UI Tests
• Add a live tutorial to indicate users how to get the most of this menu

🤔 FAQ

😍 Why should I use CariocaMenu?

You’re starting a new iOS app, and you want to innovate on the user experience.

🇧🇷 Why the name CariocaMenu?

I didn’t want to use the same naming convention that EVERYONE uses. I could have named it ASSuperCoolMenu, but it sucks. A Carioca is someone who lives in Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷. I lived there for two months, and this idea was born while I was there.
