Usage

Instantiate

Start by creating an Array that contains strings as elements of a dropdown list:

let items = ["Most Popular", "Latest", "Trending", "Nearest", "Top Picks"]

Create a new instance of BTNavigationDropdownMenu:

let menuView = BTNavigationDropdownMenu(navigationController: self.navigationController, containerView: self.navigationController!.view, title: BTTitle.title("Dropdown Menu"), items: items)

or like this:

let menuView = BTNavigationDropdownMenu(title: BTTitle.index(1), items: items)

BTTitle is an enum. We can set BTTitle.title(string) or BTTitle.index(Int) (Note: BTTitle.index is the index of defined items array).

By default, navigationController is the topmost navigation controller and containerView is keyWindow.

(keyWindow is recommended for containerView so that the black overlay can cover the whole screen. In some cases, keyWindow doesn't work properly, like using with side menu, (e.g. SWRevealViewController), the dropdown menu doesn't move along with the parent view or navigation controller. To workaround this issue, you can use self.navigationController!.view.)

Set title of navigation bar as menuView:

self.navigationItem.titleView = menuView

Call BTNavigationDropdownMenu closure to get the index of selected cell:

menuView.didSelectItemAtIndexHandler = {[weak self] (indexPath: Int) -> () in
            print("Did select item at index: \(indexPath)")
            self.selectedCellLabel.text = items[indexPath]
}

menuView.show() or menuView.hide() to show or hide dropdown menu manually.

menuView.toggle() to toogle dropdown menu shown/hide.

menuView.isShown (Boolean type) property to check showing state of dropdown menu.

menuView.updateItems(items: [AnyObject]) to update items in dropdown menu.
