CPYPagerViewController is a versatile and customizable view controller that simplifies the implementation of paged scroll views in iOS applications. It provides an easy way to manage multiple view controllers within a scroll view, allowing users to swipe through different pages of content.
Key Features
- Effortlessly create paged scroll views
- Supports horizontal and vertical scrolling
- Flexible configuration options
- Highly customizable appearance and behavior
- Automatic handling of memory management and view controller lifecycle
- Smooth navigation between pages with page indicator
- Supports both storyboard and programmatic implementation
Installation
To integrate CPYPagerViewController into your project, you can use CocoaPods or manually add the framework.
CocoaPods
In your Podfile, add the following line:
pod 'CPYPagerViewController'
Then, run the following command:
pod install
Manual Installation
- Download the latest release from the GitHub repository.
- Drag and drop the CPYPagerViewController.xcodeproj into your Xcode project.
- In your project settings, select your target and go to the “General” tab.
- Under the “Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content” section, click the “+” button.
- Select “CPYPagerViewController.framework” from the list.
- Make sure to set the framework to “Embed & Sign”.
Usage
Follow the steps below to start using CPYPagerViewController in your project:
Storyboard Implementation
- Drag a “Container View” from the Object Library onto your view controller.
- Resize and position the container view as desired.
- Ctrl+drag from the container view to the desired view controller you want to display as the first page.
- Choose the “embed” action from the popup.
- Select the embedded view controller and set its class to “CPYPagerViewController” in the Identity Inspector.
- Add more view controllers if needed by Ctrl+dragging from the page control dots to the desired view controllers.
- Customize the appearance and behavior of CPYPagerViewController using the Attribute Inspector.
Programmatic Implementation
Use the code snippets below to set up CPYPagerViewController programmatically:
// Import the framework
import CPYPagerViewController
// Create an instance of CPYPagerViewController
let pagerViewController = CPYPagerViewController()
// Define your view controllers to be displayed as pages
let firstPageViewController = YourFirstPageViewController()
let secondPageViewController = YourSecondPageViewController()
// Assign the view controllers to CPYPagerViewController
pagerViewController.viewControllers = [firstPageViewController, secondPageViewController]
// Set the desired appearance and behavior properties
pagerViewController.pageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.gray
pagerViewController.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.blue
// Add CPYPagerViewController as a child view controller
addChild(pagerViewController)
pagerViewController.view.frame = containerView.bounds
containerView.addSubview(pagerViewController.view)
pagerViewController.didMove(toParent: self)
Configuration
CPYPagerViewController provides several configuration options to customize its behavior and appearance:
Properties
- viewControllers: An array of view controllers to be displayed as pages in the scroll view.
- pageIndicatorTintColor: The color of the page indicator dots.
- currentPageIndicatorTintColor: The color of the current page indicator dot.
- scrollDirection: The direction of scrolling (horizontal or vertical).
- pageControlPosition: The position of the page control (top, center, or bottom).
- pageControlInsets: The insets for the page control.
- pageControlBottomOffset: The offset from the bottom edge for the page control.
Delegate Methods
CPYPagerViewController provides delegate methods that allow you to respond to certain events and customize the behavior:
extension YourContainerViewController: CPYPagerViewControllerDelegate {
func pagerViewController(_ pagerViewController: CPYPagerViewController, willTransitionToPageAtIndex index: Int) {
// Perform actions before transitioning to a new page
}
func pagerViewController(_ pagerViewController: CPYPagerViewController, didTransitionToPageAtIndex index: Int) {
// Perform actions after transitioning to a new page
}
// Add other delegate methods as needed
}
Examples
Here are a few examples to get you started:
Example 1: Horizontal Scrolling
Showcasing horizontal scrolling with three view controllers as pages:
let firstPageViewController = FirstPageViewController()
let secondPageViewController = SecondPageViewController()
let thirdPageViewController = ThirdPageViewController()
pagerViewController.viewControllers = [firstPageViewController, secondPageViewController, thirdPageViewController]
pagerViewController.scrollDirection = .horizontal
Example 2: Custom Page Control Appearance
Customizing the appearance of the page control:
pagerViewController.pageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.lightGray
pagerViewController.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.red
pagerViewController.pageControlPosition = .bottom
