StoryboardKit provides a comprehensive set of features for managing scenes within your app’s storyboard:

  • Create, edit, and delete scenes with ease
  • Organize scenes using folders and subfolders
  • Drag and drop scenes to rearrange their order
  • Effortlessly copy and paste scenes across storyboards
  • Search and filter scenes for quick access

Navigation Flow

  • Easily customize segue animations and transitions
  • Define transitions between scenes using interactive gestures
  • Effortlessly handle navigation stack management
  • Automatically manage back button and navigation bar

Dynamic and Reusable Scenes

With StoryboardKit, you can easily create dynamic and reusable scenes to enhance your app’s functionality:

  • Create scenes programmatically to support complex user interfaces
  • Use scene templates to quickly generate new scenes
  • Customize and extend scene templates to suit your needs
  • Share scenes across multiple storyboards or projects

Installation

Step 1: Install Cocoapods

To integrate StoryboardKit into your Xcode project, you need to install Cocoapods. Cocoapods is a dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C projects.

  1. Open a Terminal window and navigate to the root directory of your Xcode project.
  2. Run the following command to install Cocoapods:
sudo gem install cocoapods

Step 2: Create a Podfile

After installing Cocoapods, you need to create a Podfile in the root directory of your Xcode project. The Podfile defines the dependencies for your project.

  1. In Terminal, navigate to the root directory of your Xcode project.
  2. Run the following command to create a Podfile:
pod init

Step 3: Add StoryboardKit to the Podfile

Add the following lines to your Podfile to specify the dependencies for StoryboardKit:

target 'YourProjectName' do
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'StoryboardKit'
end

Step 4: Install StoryboardKit

  1. Save the Podfile, and in Terminal, run the following command to install StoryboardKit:
pod install

Usage

Step 1: Import StoryboardKit

In the source file where you want to use StoryboardKit, import the module:

import StoryboardKit

Step 2: Accessing Scenes

Once you have imported StoryboardKit, you can start accessing scenes in your storyboard:

let scenes = StoryboardManager.shared.scenes

Step 3: Manipulating Scenes

StoryboardKit provides various methods to manipulate scenes. For example:

// Create a new scene
let newScene = Scene(name: "MyScene")
StoryboardManager.shared.addScene(newScene)

// Edit an existing scene
let sceneToEdit = StoryboardManager.shared.scenes.first!
sceneToEdit.name = "UpdatedSceneName"

// Delete a scene
StoryboardManager.shared.removeScene(sceneToEdit)

Step 4: Navigating Between Scenes

StoryboardKit simplifies navigation between scenes through segues:

// Perform a segue programmatically
let destinationViewController = // Get destination view controller
StoryboardManager.shared.performSegue(withIdentifier: "MySegueIdentifier", from: sourceViewController, to: destinationViewController)

// Customize segue animation
StoryboardManager.shared.setSegueAnimationStyle(.fade, forSegueWithIdentifier: "MySegueIdentifier")

// Manipulate navigation stack
StoryboardManager.shared.pushViewController(destinationViewController, animated: true)
