Usage
Importing LDProgressView
In your Swift view controller class, import LDProgressView using the following import statement:
import LDProgressView
In Objective-C, import LDProgressView using the following import statement:
#import <LDProgressView/LDProgressView.h>
Creating an LDProgressView
You can create an instance of LDProgressView programmatically or use Interface Builder to add it to your storyboard.
Programmatic Creation
To create an LDProgressView programmatically, create an instance of LDProgressView using the initializer init(frame: CGRect)
:
let progressView = LDProgressView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 20))
view.addSubview(progressView)
Storyboard Integration
If you prefer to use Interface Builder, simply drag and drop a UIView onto your storyboard or XIB file, and set its class to LDProgressView and module to LDProgressView. The progress view can then be customized using the attributes inspector.
Customization
LDProgressView provides a wide range of customization options to suit your app’s style and requirements. Here are some customizations you can make:
Setting Progress
To update the progress value of LDProgressView, use the progress
property. This property accepts a floating-point value between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 is no progress and 1.0 is full progress:
progressView.progress = 0.75
Changing Appearance
You can customize the appearance of LDProgressView by modifying its properties, such as:
borderColor
: sets the border color of the progress view.borderWidth
: sets the border width of the progress view.color
: sets the fill color of the progress view.backgroundTintColor
: sets the background color of the progress view.showText
: determines whether to display the progress value as text inside the progress view.progressInset
: sets the inset around the progress bar.
For example:
progressView.color = UIColor.systemBlue
progressView.borderWidth = 2.0
progressView.backgroundTintColor = UIColor.lightGray
progressView.showText = true
Animating Progress
To animate the progress view smoothly, you can enable the animated
property:
progressView.animated = true
progressView.animate(to: 0.75, duration: 1.0)
The animate(to:duration:)
method allows you to smoothly animate the progress view to a specific progress value over a specified duration.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully set up and configured LDProgressView in your iOS app. Use the provided customization options to achieve the desired look and behavior for your progress view.
