AMSlideOutNavigationController

SlideOut Navigation Controller for iOS. This controller replicates the behaviour of the 'slide-out' navigation of applications like Facebook or Steam. The project currently mimics FB's app styling, you can change all the table colors and options using the Options Dictionary (see documentation below). ARC only.

Part of the code is based off this blog post made by Nick Harris

SlideOutNavigation SlideOutNavigation

Setup with Cocoapods

  • Add pod 'AMSlideOutController' to your Podfile
  • Run pod install
  • Run open App.xcworkspace
  • Import AMSlideOutNavigationController.h in your AppDelegate
  • Init AMSlideOutNavigationController using the data structure as follows.

Setup without Cocoapods

  • Clone this repo
  • Add the AMSlideOut folder to your project
  • Link against QuartzCore framework
  • Import AMSlideOutNavigationController.h in your AppDelegate
  • Init AMSlideOutNavigationController using the data structure as follows.

Init data

The ViewControllers presented by the SlideOut navigation are arranged in sections and rows of a UITableView.

You can use the following helper methods to setup your views:

  • addSectionWithTitle: to add a section
  • addViewControllerToLastSection:tagged:withTitle:andIcon: to add a viewcontroller to the last section
  • addViewControllerToLastSection:tagged:withTitle:andIcon:beforeChange:onCompletition: to add a viewcontroller and call a block before and after the view switch
  • addViewController:tagged:withTitle:andIcon:toSection: to add a viewcontroller to a specific section
  • addViewController:tagged:withTitle:andIcon:toSection:beforeChange:onCompletition: to add a viewcontroller to a specific section and call a block before and after the switch

To create a new section:

// Note: Leave the title blank to hide the section header
[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:@"Section"];

To create a new row:

[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller		// Your UIViewController
												 tagged:1				// Used to change the object's properties, i.e. the badge
											  withTitle:@"First View"	
												andIcon:@"icon1.png"];	// 44x44 icon held in the project's resources

To create a new row that only calls an action:

[self.slideoutController addActionToLastSection:^{
	// some action
}
										 tagged:3
									  withTitle:@"Action"
										andIcon:@""];

The main data structure is an array of sections. Each section item is a dictionary, containing the section title and an array describing the ViewControllers. Each item of this array is a dictionary containing the title, icon's file name, a numeric tag and the reference to the ViewController. You can also pass the complete data structure to the init method, but it's not recommended. Check out the sample to understand how these methods work.

Options Dictionary

As of version 1.0.0 AMSlideOutNavigationController's configuration can be handled by passing an NSDictionary to it. The default values can be found in AMSlideOutNavigationController.m. Here's a brief description of the possible options:

AMOptionsEnableGesture          // @(BOOL), Enables the pan gesture. Defaults to YES
AMOptionsEnableShadow           // @(BOOL), Enables the shadow under the content's view. Defaults to YES
AMOptionsSetButtonDone          // @(BOOL), Sets the Menu button's state to 'Done' when the tray is open. Defaults to NO
AMOptionsUseBorderedButton      // @(BOOL), Sets the Menu button to have a bordered style. Defaults to NO
AMOptionsButtonIcon             // UIImage, Icon displayed in the Menu button. Defaults to the embedded 'iconSlide.png'
AMOptionsTableBackground;       // UIImage, Background image displayed and tiled as the TableView's background. Defaults to nil (solid color)
AMOptionsUseDefaultTitles;      // @(BOOL), When enabled the content view's title is set as the manu item's text. Defaults to YES
AMOptionsSlideValue;            // @(float), The width of the menu. The content's view snaps to this value. Defaults to 270
AMOptionsBackground;            // UIColor, Menu's background color. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsSelectionBackground;   // UIColor, Menu background color for the selected item. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsHeaderFont;            // UIFont, Font used in the menu header. Defaults to Helvetica@13
AMOptionsHeaderFontColor;       // UIColor, Font color used in the menu header. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsHeaderShadowColor;     // UIColor, Shadow color used in the menu header. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsHeaderPadding;         // @(float), Padding used in the menu header. Defaults to 10
AMOptionsHeaderGradientUp;      // UIColor, Menu's gradient starting color. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsHeaderGradientDown;    // UIColor, Menu's gradient ending color. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsHeaderSeparatorUpper;  // UIColor, Color used in the menu header separator. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsHeaderSeparatorLower;  // UIColor, Color used in the menu header separator. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsCellFont;              // UIFont, Font used in the menu item. Defaults to Helvetica@14
AMOptionsCellFontColor;         // UIColor, Font color used in the menu item. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsCellBadgeFont;         // UIFont, Font used in the menu badge. Defaults to Helvetica@12
AMOptionsCellBackground;        // UIColor, Menu item background color. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsCellSeparatorUpper;    // UIColor, Color used in the menu separator. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsCellSeparatorLower;    // UIColor, Color used in the menu separator. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsCellShadowColor;       // UIColor, Shadow color used in the menu item. Defaults to the one in the main screenshot of this page
AMOptionsImagePadding;          // @(float), Padding used in the menu icon. Defaults to 50
AMOptionsTextPadding;           // @(float), Padding used in the menu item. Defaults to 20
AMOptionsBadgePosition;         // @(float), Badge's left offset. Defaults to 220
AMOptionsHeaderHeight;          // @(float), Menu header's height. Defaults to 22
AMOptionsImageHeight;           // @(float), Menu icon's height. Max value is currently 44 pixels. Defaults to 44
AMOptionsImageOffsetByY;        // @(float), Menu icon's offset from the top. Defaults to 0

sample usage:

self.slideoutController = [AMSlideOutNavigationController slideOutNavigation];

[self.slideoutController setSlideoutOptions:@{
						   AMOptionsEnableShadow : @(NO),
					       AMOptionsHeaderFont : [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14]
 }];

Further customization

To customize the appearance of your navigation bar you can use the system's UIAppearance class, i.e.:

// Navbar customization
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"navigationBar.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
    
// Navbar font customization
NSDictionary *attributes = @{UITextAttributeFont: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Copperplate" size:14]};
NSDictionary *titleAttributes = @{UITextAttributeFont: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Copperplate" size:20]};
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes: attributes
											forState: UIControlStateNormal];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes: titleAttributes];

// Back button customization
UIImage *barButton = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"button.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(-2,5,0,6)];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackgroundImage:barButton forState:UIControlStateNormal
									  barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:4 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

Using UIAppearance and the options' dictionary you can easily achieve a view similiar to the second screenshot in this page.

Sample

self.slideoutController = [AMSlideOutNavigationController slideOutNavigation];

// Add a first section
[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:@"Section One"];

// Add two viewcontrollers to the first section
controller = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:1 withTitle:@"First View" andIcon:@"icon1.png"];

controller = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:2 withTitle:@"Second View" andIcon:@"icon2.png"];

// Add a second section
[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:@"Section Two"];

// Add two viewcontrollers to the second section
controller = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller
												 tagged:3
											  withTitle:@"First View"
												andIcon:@"icon1.png"
										   beforeChange:^{
											   NSLog(@"Changing viewController");
										   } onCompletition:^{
											   NSLog(@"Done");
										   }];

controller = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:4 withTitle:@"Second View" andIcon:@"icon2.png"];

[self.window setRootViewController:self.slideoutController];

Storyboard

If you use Storyboard you can easily integrate AMSlideOutNavigationController within your AppDelegate.

Just set a Storyboard ID for each of your ViewController that will become a root element of the navigation tree:

SlideOutNavigationStoryboard

then instantiate your ViewControllers in your AppDelegate like this:

UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];

UIViewController* controller;

self.slideoutController = [AMSlideOutNavigationController slideOutNavigation];

[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:@""];

controller = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"FirstController"];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:1 withTitle:@"First View" andIcon:@""];

controller = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"SecondController"];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:2 withTitle:@"Second View" andIcon:@""];

[self.window setRootViewController:self.slideoutController];

Sections

Leave the section name blank if you don't want the section header visible.

Badges

Set the badge value (NSString) via the method setBadgeValue:forTag:. This sets the badge value of the row with the numeric tag provided during the views' setup.

[self.slideoutController setBadgeValue:@"10" forTag:3];

Icons

The icon must be 44x44. Blank icon name will result in a row with only text, with different indentation.
