LNSideMenu

This lib is basically similiar to a lot of existing ones in Github for iOS, but besides of must-have features, it supilies an interesting one focusing on effects and animations like scrolling effect, faded animation for the appearance of the menu's items,.. Let's explore and enjoy it.

Get Started

. Create a UINavigationController subclassed from LNSideMenuNavigationController in order.

. Initilize the menu view based on a source view:

func initialSideMenu(_ position: Position) {
    sideMenu = LNSideMenu(sourceView: view, menuPosition: position, items: items!)
    sideMenu?.menuViewController?.menuBgColor = UIColor.black.withAlphaComponent(0.85)
    sideMenu?.delegate = self
    // Bring navigationBar to front if needed
    view.bringSubview(toFront: navigationBar)
}

. Implementing delegate methods: didSelectItemAtIndex,..

. In order to change the content viewcontroller: from the your UINavigationController subclass, get the destination and set it as the content viewcontroller.

func didSelectItemAtIndex(index: Int) {
    // TODO: Get your destViewController here
    self.setContentViewController(destViewController)
}

. Toggle menu:

sideMenuManager?.toggle()

. Making navigation bar translucent by adding these code as following:

self.navigationBarTranslucentStyle()
sideMenuManager?.instance()?.menu?.isNavbarHiddenOrTransparent = true

. Digging up Example to get a comprehensive view.

Take your own menu

Initialize sidemenu as below in NavigationController subclass: The lib's currently providing 4 types of adjustable size, particularly in full, half, twothird and custom(CGFloat).

func initialCustomMenu(pos position: Position) {
    let menu = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "LeftMenuTableViewController") as! LeftMenuTableViewController
    menu.delegate = self
    sideMenu = LNSideMenu(sourceView: view, menuPosition: position, customSideMenu: menu)
    sideMenu?.delegate = self
    // Enable dynamic animator
    sideMenu?.enableDynamic = true
    // Moving down the menu view under navigation bar
    sideMenu?.underNavigationBar = true
}
