Usage
Getting Started
CardNavigation consists of a single class: CardNavigationController
. It behaves like a standard UINavigationController
.
At the top of the file where you'd like to use a CardNavigationController
, import CardNavigation
.
import CardNavigation
Create an instance of CardNavigationController
the way you would a regular UINavigationController
.
let navController = CardNavigationController(rootViewController: SomeViewController())
When you push a view controller, it will automatically be displayed as an interactive card.
navController.pushViewController(AnotherViewController(), animated: true)
Background Color
The CardNavigationController
's navigationBar
is transparent by default. This allows the controller's background color to show through.
You may want to change the background color to reflect the theme of your app.
navController.view.backgroundColor = .systemTeal
Card Appearance
To change the card appearance, create a custom view class.
import UIKit
class MyCardBackgroundView: UIView {
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
backgroundColor = .white
layer.cornerRadius = 32
layer.maskedCorners = [.layerMinXMinYCorner, .layerMaxXMinYCorner]
layer.cornerCurve = .continuous
layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
layer.borderWidth = 4
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}
Then, create a subclass of CardNavigationController
and override the cardBackgroundViewClass
property to return your custom class.
import UIKit
import CardNavigation
class MyCardNavigationController: CardNavigationController {
override var cardBackgroundViewClass: UIView.Type {
return MyCardBackgroundView.self
}
}
