##Manual Installation

If you prefer not to use either of the above mentioned dependency managers, you can integrate AAPickerView into your project manually by adding the files contained in the Classes folder to your project.

#Getting Started

##Create instance of AAPickerView

You just need to assign AAPickerView class to your UITextField and make the outlet:

@IBOutlet weak var picker: AAPickerView!

Now your UITextField is transformed as a picker view as AAPickerView.

##Define picker type

Define type of picker you want to use in your text field. There are two types of pickers available in AAPickerView that are:

StringPicker for UIPickerView
DatePicker for UIDatePicker

Assign one of them as follow:

picker1.pickerType = .string(data: #String collection#)
picker2.pickerType = .date

##Customise the toolbar

You can change UIToolbar colours like:

picker.toolbar.barTintColor = .darkGray
picker.toolbar.tintColor = .black

##Customise StringPicker Label

You can get and customise the StringPicker label as UILabel:

let label = picker.pickerRow
label.font = UIFont(name: "American Typewriter", size: 30)

##Customise UIDatePicker & DateFormatter

You can get your UIDatePicker and DateFormatter which is using behind your UITextField as:

let datePicker = picker.datePicker
datePicker?.datePickerMode = .date

let dateFormatter = picker.dateFormatter
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd/MM/YYYY"

##Listen changes thorough callbacks

You can listen the changes of data simply by using the following callback methods:

StringPicker:

picker.valueDidSelected = { (index) in
    print("selectedString ", stringData[index as! Int])
}

DatePicker

picker.valueDidSelected = { date in
    print("selectedDate ", date as! Date )
}
