Usage
Using EmpageViewController in your iOS project is straightforward. Follow these steps:
- Create an instance of EmpageViewController.
- Set the data source and delegate of EmpageViewController to your view controller.
- Implement the required data source methods to provide the view controllers to be displayed.
- Customize the appearance and behavior of EmpageViewController using the available customization options.
- Add EmpageViewController as a child view controller or present it as needed.
Example
Here’s an example of how you can use EmpageViewController in your iOS project:
<!-- Code block title --> <h3>Using EmpageViewController</h3> <!-- Code block --> <pre><code> // Create an instance of EmpageViewController let empvc = EmpageViewController() // Set the data source and delegate empvc.dataSource = self empvc.delegate = self // Implement the required data source methods func numberOfPages() -> Int { return viewControllers.count } func viewControllerAt(index: Int) -> UIViewController { return viewControllers[index] } // Customize appearance and behavior of EmpageViewController empvc.pageIndicatorTintColor = .gray empvc.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = .blue // Add EmpageViewController as a child view controller or present it addChild(empvc) view.addSubview(empvc.view) empvc.didMove(toParent: self)
Customization
EmpageViewController allows you to customize its appearance and behavior to match your app’s design requirements. Here are the available customization options:
- pageIndicatorTintColor: Sets the color of the non-selected page indicators.
- currentPageIndicatorTintColor: Sets the color of the currently selected page indicator.
- pageIndicatorHeight: Sets the height of the page indicators.
- pageIndicatorSpacing: Sets the spacing between page indicators.
- disableScrollingOnTap: Disables scrolling to a page when its corresponding page indicator is tapped.
To customize EmpageViewController, simply access and modify these properties before presenting or adding it as a child view controller.
Delegate Methods
EmpageViewController provides delegate methods that allow you to respond to various events and customize its behavior further. The available delegate methods are:
- func didMoveToPage(index: Int): Called when the view controller transitions to a new page.
- func didTapPageIndicator(index: Int): Called when a page indicator is tapped.
By implementing these delegate methods, you can add additional functionality to EmpageViewController as per your app’s requirements.
Conclusion
The EmpageViewController library provides an easy-to-use solution for implementing paged view controllers in your iOS app. With its customizable appearance and smooth page transitioning, it offers a seamless user experience. By following the provided instructions and leveraging the available customization options, you can effortlessly integrate EmpageViewController into your project.
