Usage

Once you have added the CharPageControl package to your project, you can use it by following these steps:

  1. Import the CharPageControl module in your ViewController:
<!-- wp:code -->
<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>import CharPageControl</code></pre>
<!-- /wp:code -->
  1. Create an instance of CharPageControl, specifying the desired frame or layout constraints:
<!-- wp:code -->
<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>let pageControl = CharPageControl(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 200, width: view.bounds.width, height: 50))</code></pre>
<!-- /wp:code -->
  1. Customize the appearance of the page control. You can set properties like the dot color, current dot color, dot size, and more:
<!-- wp:code -->
<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>pageControl.dotColor = UIColor.lightGray
pageControl.currentDotColor = UIColor.red
pageControl.dotSize = CGSize(width: 8, height: 8)
pageControl.spacing = 8
pageControl.numberOfPages = 5</code></pre>
<!-- /wp:code -->
  1. Add the CharPageControl as a subview to your desired view:
<!-- wp:code -->
<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>view.addSubview(pageControl)</code></pre>
<!-- /wp:code -->
  1. Implement the necessary protocols in your ViewController to update the page control based on the current page:
<!-- wp:code -->
<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>extension YourViewController: UIScrollViewDelegate {
    func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
        let currentPage = Int(scrollView.contentOffset.x / scrollView.bounds.width)
        pageControl.currentPage = currentPage
    }
}
</code></pre>
<!-- /wp:code -->

It is important to make sure that the page control’s currentPage property is updated whenever the user scrolls to a different page.
