Basic Usage
To get started, this is a simple usage sample of using the integrated view controller.
import FolioReaderKit
func open(sender: AnyObject) {
let config = FolioReaderConfig()
let bookPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "book", ofType: "epub")
let folioReader = FolioReader()
folioReader.presentReader(parentViewController: self, withEpubPath: bookPath!, andConfig: config)
}
For more usage examples check the Example folder.
Storyboard
To get started, here is a simple example how to use the integrated view controller with storyboards.
import FolioReaderKit
class StoryboardFolioReaderContrainer: FolioReaderContainer {
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
let config = FolioReaderConfig()
config.scrollDirection = .horizontalWithVerticalContent
guard let bookPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "The Silver Chair", ofType: "epub") else { return }
setupConfig(config, epubPath: bookPath)
}
}
Go to your storyboard file, choose or create the view controller that should present the epub reader. In the identity inspector set StoryboardFolioReaderContrainer as class.
