Introduction
This page provides documentation for the FPPopover framework. FPPopover is a lightweight and modern popover library for iOS, written in Objective-C. It offers flexible customization options and is easy to integrate into your projects.
Installation
To install FPPopover in your project, you have several options:
- Using CocoaPods: Add the following line to your Podfile and run
pod install
pod 'FPPopover'
- Manual Installation:
- Download the latest version of FPPopover from GitHub
- Copy the
FPPopover
folder into your Xcode project - Add the required frameworks to your project’s Build Phases:
QuartzCore.framework
- Import the necessary header file:
#import <FPPopover/FPPopover.h>
Usage
Using FPPopover is simple and straightforward:
- Create an instance of
FPPopoverController
and set itscontentViewController
property to the view controller you want to display within the popover. - Customize the appearance and behavior of the popover using the available properties and methods of
FPPopoverController
. - Present the popover using the
presentPopoverFromView:
method, specifying the view from which the popover should originate.
Customization
FPPopover provides various options for customizing the appearance and behavior of your popovers:
- Popover Arrow: You can choose from different arrow directions and control the arrow size.
- Background: Customize the popover’s background color, border color, and corner radius.
- Content Size: Specify the desired size of the popover’s content view.
- Animation: Control the opening and closing animations of the popover.
- Delegate Methods: Implement delegate methods to respond to certain events and user interactions.
Examples
Here are a couple of examples to illustrate how to use FPPopover:
Example 1: Basic Usage
In this example, we will present a simple popover and customize its appearance:
import FPPopover
// Create the content view controller
let contentVC = UIViewController()
contentVC.view.backgroundColor = .white
// Create the popover controller
let popoverController = FPPopoverController(contentViewController: contentVC)
// Customize the popover's appearance
popoverController.arrowDirection = .any
popoverController.border = false
// Present the popover
popoverController.presentPopover(from: view, animated: true)
Example 2: Delegate Methods
In this example, we will implement delegate methods to handle popover events:
// Implement the FPPopoverControllerDelegate protocol
class MyViewController: UIViewController, FPPopoverControllerDelegate {
// ...
// Define the popover controller
private var popoverController: FPPopoverController?
// ...
// Show the popover
func showPopover() {
let contentVC = UIViewController()
contentVC.view.backgroundColor = .white
popoverController = FPPopoverController(contentViewController: contentVC)
popoverController?.delegate = self
// Customize the popover
// Present the popover
popoverController?.presentPopover(from: view, animated: true)
}
// ...
// Implement desired delegate methods
func popoverControllerDidDismissPopover(_ popoverController: FPPopoverController) {
// Handle popover dismissal
}
// ...
}
API Reference
The following are the key classes of the FPPopover framework:
- FPPopoverController: The main controller class for managing and presenting popovers.
- FPPopoverArrowDirection: An enumeration of available arrow directions for the popover.
- FPPopoverBackgroundView: The background view for customizing the appearance of the popover.
- FPPopoverControllerDelegate: A protocol for implementing delegate methods to handle popover events.
Conclusion
