Requirements
ADNavigationBarExtension is written in swift 5.0. Compatible with iOS 10.0+
Installation
ADNavigationBarExtension is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
Cocoapods
pod 'ADNavigationBarExtension'
Usage
Setup
The main component of the library is the ExtensibleNavigationBarNavigationController
. It is basicaly a simple UINavigationController wich manages a supplementary view under the UINavigationBar.
A startup sequence might look like this:
let navigationController = ExtensibleNavigationBarNavigationController()
let navigationBarExtension = MyCustomView()
let navigationBarExtensionHeight = 64
navigationController.setNavigationBarExtensionView(navigationBarExtension, forHeight: navigationBarExtensionHeight)
navigationController.pushViewController(MyViewController(), animated: false)
window.rootViewController = navigationController
Then the ExtensibleNavigationBarNavigationController
needs to know when the navigation bar's extension needs to be displayed or to be hidden. You have to use the protocol ExtensibleNavigationBarInformationProvider
:
extension MyViewController: ExtensibleNavigationBarInformationProvider {
var shouldExtendNavigationBar: Bool { return true }
}
Warning
Be aware of ExtensibleNavigationBarNavigationController
is using the UINavigationControllerDelegate protocol. So if you also need to use de navigationController's delegate proprerty, you can use this:
let navigationController = ExtensibleNavigationBarNavigationController()
navigationController.navigationControllerDelegate = self
There is an issue with iOS 12 where the isTranslucent
property cannot be retrieved from the UINavigationBar.appearance()
method. So if you need to set your UINavigationBar translucent, you can use this:
ExtensibleNavigationBarNavigationController.ad_isTranslucent = true
