Overview
The BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout is a lightweight, easy-to-use layout for creating floating headers in UICollectionViews. It provides a simple way to achieve a stunning parallax effect on your headers as the user scrolls through your collection view.
Features
- Easy integration with UICollectionViews.
- Supports both horizontal and vertical scrolling.
- Automatic header resizing based on scroll position.
- Smooth parallax effect on headers.
- Customizable header behavior and visuals.
Installation
You can install BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout through CocoaPods. Simply add the following line to your Podfile and run `pod install`:
pod 'BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout'
Usage
Using BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout involves a few simple steps:
Step 1: Import the framework
Import the BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout framework into your view controller or wherever you wish to use it:
import BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout
Step 2: Creating the layout
Create an instance of BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout and set it as the layout object for your UICollectionView:
let layout = BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout()
collectionView.collectionViewLayout = layout
Step 3: Configuring the appearance
Customize the appearance of the headers by configuring the appropriate properties on the layout object:
layout.minimumHeaderHeight = 100
layout.maximumHeaderHeight = 200
layout.headerAlwaysOnTop = false
Step 4: Implementing the delegate methods
Implement the BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewDelegate methods to provide the necessary information for the layout:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout: BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout, sizeForHeaderIn section: Int) -> CGSize {
// Return the desired size for the header
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout: BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout, insetForSectionAt section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
// Return the desired section inset
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout: BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout, minimumLineSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
// Return the desired line spacing
}
Step 5: Enjoy the floating headers!
Once you have completed the above steps, your UICollectionView will have floating headers with a parallax effect as the user scrolls through the content.
Customization
BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout provides several customization options:
Header Behavior
The header behavior can be controlled using the headerAlwaysOnTop
property of BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout. When set to true
, the header will always stay at the top of the visible area, even when scrolling vertically. When set to false
, the header will scroll with the content until it reaches the top, at which point it will stick to the top.
Header Size
You can set the minimum and maximum height of the header using the minimumHeaderHeight
and maximumHeaderHeight
properties of BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout. The header will smoothly resize as the user scrolls based on these values.
Insets and Line Spacing
By implementing the respective delegate methods mentioned in Step 4, you can control the section insets and line spacing for the layout.
Example
Here’s an example of how to integrate BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout into your project:
import BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout
class MyViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource, BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewDelegate {
@IBOutlet weak var collectionView: UICollectionView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let layout = BMFloatingHeaderCollectionViewLayout()
layout.minimumHeaderHeight = 100
layout.maximumHeaderHeight = 200
layout.headerAlwaysOnTop = false
collectionView.collectionViewLayout = layout
// Additional setup and data source delegation
}
// Implement delegate methods
// ...
}
