Welcome to the documentation for the CCNStatusItem library, which is designed to simplify the implementation of status bar items in macOS applications.



  • Easy integration of status bar items into macOS applications
  • Customizable status bar icons
  • Support for status bar menus
  • Automatic handling of click events for status bar items
  • Ability to respond to system events such as sleep and wake



Getting Started

  1. Installation
  2. Usage
  3. Customization



Installation

To install the CCNStatusItem library, follow these steps:

  1. Open the terminal.
  2. Navigate to your project directory.
  3. Run the following command:

pod 'CCNStatusItem'

This will add the CCNStatusItem library to your project.



Usage

To use the CCNStatusItem library, follow these steps:

  1. Import the library into your project:

import CCNStatusItem

  1. Create an instance of CCNStatusItem and set its properties
  2. Assign a view controller to the contentViewController property of CCNStatusItem
  3. Call the display method of CCNStatusItem to show the status bar item

Here is an example usage code snippet:

let statusItem = CCNStatusItem()

// Set properties
statusItem.title = "My Status Item"
statusItem.image = NSImage(named: "icon")
statusItem.menu = myMenu

// Assign content view controller
statusItem.contentViewController = myViewController

// Display the status bar item
statusItem.display()



Customization

The CCNStatusItem library provides various customization options. Here are some examples:



Icon

To customize the status bar icon, assign an NSImage instance to the image property of CCNStatusItem.

statusItem.image = NSImage(named: "custom_icon")



Title

To customize the title of the status bar item, set the title property of CCNStatusItem.

statusItem.title = "Custom Title"



Menu

To customize the menu of the status bar item, assign an NSMenu instance to the menu property of CCNStatusItem.

statusItem.menu = customMenu



System Events

The CCNStatusItem library provides support for handling system events such as sleep and wake. To handle these events, implement the appropriate methods in the CCNStatusItemDelegate protocol.

For example, to handle the sleep event, implement the statusItemWillSleep: method:

func statusItemWillSleep(_ statusItem: CCNStatusItem) {
// Handle the sleep event
}



Congratulations! You have successfully built and customized a status bar item using the CCNStatusItem library. You now have the power to create rich, interactive status bar items in your macOS applications.
