    2. let dropConfigs = [
  DropConfig(title: "First Drop"),
  DropConfig(title: "Second Drop"),
  DropConfig(title: "Third Drop")
]
  2. Call the showMultipleDrops method:
    3. SwiftyDrop.showMultipleDrops(configs: dropConfigs)

  • animationDuration: The duration of the drop animation.

5. Advanced Topics

5.1. Completion Handler

To handle events after a drop is completed, you can pass a completion handler as part of the DropConfig object:

let dropConfig = DropConfig(title: "Hello World") { (isCompleted) in
  if isCompleted {
    print("Drop animation completed!")
  } else {
    print("Drop animation cancelled!")
  }
}

5.2. Animation Duration

You can customize the duration of the drop animation by setting the animationDuration property in the DropConfig instance. The default duration is 0.3 seconds. For example:

let dropConfig = DropConfig(title: "Hello World")
dropConfig.animationDuration = 0.5
