About

LiveTabBar is an easy way to spruce up tabbed iOS applications. It offers a simple interface for animating tab bar items and item badges. The library uses Core Animation (CAAnimation) and provides a set of default animations, but you can create your own so long as they conform to CAAnimation.

Usage

Tab Controller

Use LiveTabBarController in place of UITabBarController, supplying a tab animation. It subclasses UITabBarController and the interface has not been restricted or modified. From there, add your tabs and controllers as normal!

let tabController = LiveTabBarController(tabItemAnimation: animationOption)
tabController.viewControllers = [...

self.window?.rootViewController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: tabController)

Badges

For a simpler interface, the live badges are implemented as an extension to UITabBarController and can be presented & dismissed without redundant casting. For example:

self.tabBarController?.setLiveBadge(tabPageIndex: 0, value: "1", backgroundColor: .red, animation: DefaultAnimation.wobble) // present
self.tabBarController?.dismissLiveBadge(tabPageIndex: self.tabPageIndex, fadeDuration: 0.25) // dismiss

Installation

LiveTabBar is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'LiveTabBar'
