## Overview
CocoaDocs.org is a platform that provides documentation for various libraries, frameworks, and tools used in iOS, macOS, and tvOS development. This page aims to provide detailed information about **PXSourceList**, a versatile source list view for macOS applications.
PXSourceList simplifies the implementation of source list-like functionality, commonly found in applications like iTunes, Mail, and Calendar. It offers a straightforward way to create hierarchical data structures and display them in an organized and intuitive manner.
## Features
### Customization
PXSourceList allows you to customize the appearance and behavior of your source list view according to your application’s requirements. Key features include:
– **Item Styling**: Easily configure the appearance of individual source list items.
– **Group Styling**: Customize the appearance of group headers in the source list.
– **Selection Styles**: Choose from various selection styles for source list items, such as single selection or multiple selection.
### Hierarchical Structure
One of the primary goals of PXSourceList is to help you manage hierarchical data effectively. It offers the following features:
– **Grouping**: Create hierarchical groups in the source list to organize your data logically.
– **Parent-Child Relationships**: Establish relationships between parent and child items to build a hierarchical structure.
– **Expanding and Collapsing**: Enable users to expand and collapse groups to reveal or hide child items.
### Interaction and Navigation
PXSourceList provides intuitive and user-friendly interaction options to enhance the user experience. Some key features include:
– **Selection**: Allow users to select one or multiple items in the source list.
– **Drag and Drop**: Enable drag and drop functionality to rearrange and organize items within the source list.
– **Keyboard Navigation**: Support keyboard shortcuts and navigation for efficient interaction.
### Notifications and Delegation
To enable deeper customization and interaction, PXSourceList offers notifications and delegation methods. These features include:
– **Delegate Methods**: Utilize various delegate methods to respond to user interactions, such as item selection or expansion.
– **Notifications**: Subscribe to specific notifications to receive updates about changes in the source list.
## Installation
PXSourceList can be easily integrated into your macOS project using either **CocoaPods** or **Carthage** dependency managers. Choose the method that suits your project and follow the instructions below.
### CocoaPods
To integrate PXSourceList using CocoaPods, add the following line to your `Podfile`:
“`ruby
pod ‘PXSourceList’
“`
**Note**: Make sure you have CocoaPods installed and set up in your project before proceeding.
### Carthage
To integrate PXSourceList using Carthage, add the following line to your `Cartfile`:
“`ruby
github “Perspx/PXSourceList”
“`
After adding the dependency, follow the standard Carthage integration steps to complete the installation.
## Usage
To use PXSourceList in your macOS application, follow the steps below:
1. Import the framework:
“`swift
import PXSourceList
“`
2. Create an instance of `PXSourceListDataSource` to provide the data for your source list:
“`swift
let dataSource = PXSourceListDataSource()
“`
3. Implement the required data source methods to populate the source list with your data.
4. Create an instance of `PXSourceListDelegate` to handle user interactions:
“`swift
let delegate = PXSourceListDelegate()
“`
5. Implement the necessary delegate methods to respond to user interactions, such as item selection or expansion.
6. Connect the `dataSource` and `delegate` instances to your source list view:
“`swift
sourceListView.dataSource = dataSource
sourceListView.delegate = delegate
“`
7. Customize the appearance and behavior of your source list using the provided customization options.
