MFSideMenu 0.5.5

You want to add pod 'MFSideMenu', '~> 0.5' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'MFSideMenu', '~> 0.5'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try MFSideMenu

MFSideMenu 0.5.5

By
Michael Frederick

This project was inspired by the side-menu functionality seen in the Facebook iOS app. MFSideMenu utilizes view controller containment and gives you a simple API for implementing side-menu functionality. It integrates with storyboard-based apps as well as traditional setups.

Features

Universal device support (iPhone + iPad)
Universal orientation support (Portrait + Landscape)
Menus on the left and right side of the screen.
Storyboard support
View controller containment
Works with UINavigationController, UITabBarController, and other types of view controllers
Nice set of configuration options
Lightweight, simple and readable code.

Installation

Manually

Add the MFSideMenu folder to your project. Add QuartzCore to your project. MFSideMenu uses ARC. If you have a project that doesn't use ARC, just add the -fobjc-arc compiler flag to the MFSideMenu files.

Usage

Basic Setup

In your app delegate:

#import "MFSideMenu.h"

MFSideMenuContainerViewController *container = [MFSideMenuContainerViewController
                                                containerWithCenterViewController:centerViewController
                                                leftMenuViewController:leftMenuViewController
                                                rightMenuViewController:rightMenuViewController];
self.window.rootViewController = container;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

Opening & Closing Menus

// toggle the left side menu
[self.menuContainerViewController toggleLeftSideMenuCompletion:^{}];
// toggle the right side menu
[self.menuContainerViewController toggleRightSideMenuCompletion:^{}];
// close the side menu
[self.menuContainerViewController setMenuState:MFSideMenuStateClosed completion:^{}];
// open the left side menu
[self.menuContainerViewController setMenuState:MFSideMenuStateLeftMenuOpen completion:^{}];
// open the right side menu
[self.menuContainerViewController setMenuState:MFSideMenuStateRightMenuOpen completion:^{}];

Pan Modes

You can specify which areas you want to allow pan gestures on:

// enable panning on the center view controllers & the side menus (this is the default behavior):
menuContainerViewController.panMode = MFSideMenuPanModeCenterViewController | MFSideMenuPanModeSideMenu;

// disable panning on the side menus, only allow panning on the center view controller:
menuContainerViewController.panMode = MFSideMenuPanModeCenterViewController;

// disable all panning
menuContainerViewController.panMode = MFSideMenuPanModeNone;

Panning Custom Views

You can add panning to any view like so:

[panView addGestureRecognizer:[self.menuContainerViewController panGestureRecognizer]];

Listening for Menu Events

You can listen for menu state event changes (i.e. menu will open, menu did open, etc.). See MFSideMenuContainerViewController.h for the different types of events.

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                            selector:@selector(menuStateEventOccurred:)
                                                name:MFSideMenuStateNotificationEvent
                                              object:nil];
- (void)menuStateEventOccurred:(NSNotification *)notification {
    MFSideMenuStateEvent event = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:@"eventType"] intValue];
    MFSideMenuContainerViewController *containerViewController = notification.object;
    // ...
}

Menu Slide Animation

With this option enabled, the side menus will slide in & out with the center view controller. This effect is similar to the Wunderlist side menu.

// enable the menu slide animation
[menuContainerViewController setMenuSlideAnimationEnabled:YES];

// control the exaggeration of the menu slide animation
[menuContainerViewController setMenuSlideAnimationFactor:3.0f];

Shadow

MFSideMenu gives you the option to show a shadow between the center view controller & the side menus.

// enable/disable the shadow
[menuContainerViewController.shadow setEnabled:YES];

// set the radius of the shadow
[menuContainerViewController.shadow setRadius:10.0f];

// set the color of the shadow
[menuContainerViewController.shadow setColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

// set the opacity of the shadow
[menuContainerViewController.shadow setOpacity:0.75f];
