2. Import the SlideOutMenu module in your view controller where you want to use the menu.

Usage

Setting up and using SlideOutMenu is straightforward:

       // Create a menu view controller
       let menuViewController = SOMenuViewController()
   
       override func viewDidLoad() {
           super.viewDidLoad()
           
           // Set the menu view controller as the root view controller
           // ...
       }
   
       // Configure the menu items and actions
       override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
           super.viewDidAppear(animated)
           
           // Configure menu items here
           // ...
       }
   }

With these steps, you have set up SlideOutMenu in your app.

Configuration

Once SlideOutMenu is set up, you can configure various aspects of the menu to suit your app’s needs:

Menu Items

You can add menu items to provide navigation options for your users. Each menu item consists of a title and an associated action. Here’s an example of how to add menu items:

1. menuViewController.addMenuItem(withTitle: "Home") { [weak self] in
       // Handle Home menu item selection
       // ...
   }

2. menuViewController.addMenuItem(withTitle: "Settings") { [weak self] in
       // Handle Settings menu item selection
       // ...
   }

Customization

SlideOutMenu offers customization options to match your app’s theme and style.

Appearance

You can customize the appearance of the menu using the SOMenuAppearance object:

1. // Instantiate SOMenuAppearance
   let appearance = SOMenuAppearance()

2. // Customize appearance properties
   appearance.backgroundColor = .white
   appearance.textColor = .black
   appearance.highlightedTextColor = .blue
   // ...

Apply the appearance to the menu view controller:

1. // Apply the appearance
   menuViewController.appearance = appearance

Animations

SlideOutMenu provides animation options to control the menu’s behavior:

1. // Instantiate SOMenuAnimationOptions
   let animationOptions = SOMenuAnimationOptions()

2. // Customize animation properties
   animationOptions.duration = 0.3
   animationOptions.springDamping = 0.7
   // ...

Apply the animation options to the menu view controller:

1. // Apply the animation options
   menuViewController.animationOptions = animationOptions

Further Customization

If you require more advanced customization, you can subclass SOMenuViewController and override its methods to modify the menu’s behavior as needed.
