Examples

Let’s see a couple of examples to illustrate the usage of easyAnchor:

Example 1: Adding Anchor Links to a Scroll View

In this example, we will demonstrate how to add anchor links to a scroll view:

  1. Create a scroll view and its content:
    2. let scrollView = UIScrollView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: view.frame.height))
let contentView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: 800))
  2. Add the content view to the scroll view:
    3. scrollView.addSubview(contentView)
  3. Create an instance of AnchorView and add it to your view hierarchy:
    4. let anchorView = AnchorView(frame: CGRect(x: view.frame.width - 80, y: 20, width: 60, height: 200))
view.addSubview(anchorView)
  4. Add anchor links to specific sections within the scroll view:
    5. anchorView.addAnchorLink(title: "Section 1", target: section1View, targetOffset: 20)
anchorView.addAnchorLink(title: "Section 2", target: section2View, targetOffset: 0)

Example 2: Customizing Anchor Links

In this example, we will explore how to customize the anchor links:

  1. Create an instance of AnchorView:
    2. let anchorView = AnchorView(frame: CGRect(x: 20, y: 100, width: 200, height: 50))
  2. Customize the font and color of the anchor links:
    3. anchorView.linkFont = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16)
anchorView.linkColor = UIColor.red
  3. Add anchor links:
    4. anchorView.addAnchorLink(title: "About", target: aboutView, targetOffset: 0)
anchorView.addAnchorLink(title: "Contact", target: contactView, targetOffset: 0)
