Installation

CocoaPods

PageMenu is available through CocoaPods. !! Swift only !!

To install add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'PageMenu'

Carthage

PageMenu is also available through Carthage. Append this line to Cartfile and follow this instruction.

github "uacaps/PageMenu"

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!! 🎉

Customization

There are many ways you are able to customize page menu for your needs and there will be more customizations coming in the future to make sure page menu conforms to your app design. These will all be properties in CAPSPageMenu that can be changed from your base view controller. (Property names given with each item below)
