## Key Features
– **Customizable design**: Easily customize the appearance of the range slider to match your app’s design.
– **Precise range selection**: Users can accurately select a range by sliding along the draggable thumb controls.
– **Minimum and maximum values**: Define the minimum and maximum values for the range slider to restrict user input.
– **Labels and ticks**: Add labels and ticks to provide visual cues and improve usability.
– **Delegate methods**: Utilize delegate methods to respond to user interaction and range updates.
## Installation
To integrate the NMRangeslider into your iOS project, you can follow these steps:
1. Open your project in Xcode.
2. Navigate to your project’s directory and run the following command to install the NMRangeslider via [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org/):
“`
pod ‘NMRangeslider’
“`
3. Open the generated `.xcworkspace` file and import the library in your desired view controller:
“`swift
import NMRangeslider
“`
4. You’re now ready to start using the NMRangeslider!
## Usage
Using the NMRangeslider in your iOS app is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
### Step 1: Adding the NMRangeslider
To add the NMRangeslider to your view, you can follow these steps:
1. Drag and drop a `UIView` element onto your storyboard or XIB file.
2. Set the class of the `UIView` element to `NMRangeslider` in the Identity Inspector.
3. Define an outlet for the range slider in your view controller:
“`swift
@IBOutlet weak var rangeSlider: NMRangeslider!
“`
4. Connect the outlet to the NMRangeslider in your storyboard or XIB file.
### Step 2: Configuring the Range Slider
Once you’ve added the NMRangeslider to your view, you can customize its appearance and behavior. Here are a few examples:
– To set the minimum and maximum values for the range slider, you can use the `minimumValue` and `maximumValue` properties:
“`swift
rangeSlider.minimumValue = 0.0
rangeSlider.maximumValue = 100.0
“`
– To configure the appearance of the draggable thumb controls, you can use the `thumbImage` property:
“`swift
rangeSlider.thumbImage = UIImage(named: “thumb_image”)
“`
– To add labels and ticks, you can use the `isShowLabels` and `isShowTicks` properties:
“`swift
rangeSlider.isShowLabels = true
rangeSlider.isShowTicks = true
“`
### Step 3: Responding to Range Changes
To respond to user interaction with the range slider, you can implement the `NMRangesliderDelegate` protocol. Here’s an example:
1. Set the delegate of the range slider in your view controller:
“`swift
rangeSlider.delegate = self
“`
2. Implement the delegate method to receive range updates:
“`swift
func rangeSlider(_ rangeSlider: NMRangeslider, didChangeRange start: CGFloat, end: CGFloat) {
// Handle range updates
}
“`
## Conclusion
The NMRangeslider is a versatile range slider control for iOS that allows users to effortlessly select ranges. With its customizable design, precise range selection, and various configuration options, it provides a seamless user experience. By following the installation and usage instructions provided above, you can easily integrate the NMRangeslider into your iOS app and enhance the range selection capabilities.
