Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries like SnackView in your projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

CocoaPods 1.0.1+ is required to build SnackView 1+ (along with Swift 3 and Xcode 9).

Podfile

• Swift 3.x: >= 1.0.1 Download here. To integrate SnackView into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

use_frameworks!
pod 'SnackView', '~> 1.0.9'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks. To integrate SnackView into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "lucacasula91/SnackView"

SnackView 1.0.9 is not available yet on Carthage.

Manual installation

If you want to install SnackView manually, just drag SnackView Library folder into your project.

Usage

Create your custom SnackView alert

SnackView includes some default UI elements as Button, Label and other complex UI. The first step is to create an array of SVItem. SVItem is the class of every element that SnackView can include within it.

Here an example of simple SnackView alert:

class MyCustomClass: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {  }

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)

        // Present the SnackView
        let dataSource = self
        SnackView(with: dataSource).show()
    }
}

// MARK: - SnackViewDataSource Section
extension MyCustomClass: SnackViewDataSource {

    func titleFor(snackView: SnackView) -> String {
        return "What's New"
    }

    func cancelTitleFor(snackView: SnackView) -> String? {
        return "Dismiss"
    }

    func itemsFor(snackView: SnackView) -> [SVItem] {
        let descriptionItem = SVDescriptionItem(withDescription: "In this last release of SnackView we...")
        let imageItem = SVImageViewItem(withImage: UIImage(named: "hat_is_new")!,
                                        andContentMode: .scaleAspectFill)

        return [descriptionItem, imageItem]
    }
}

Deprecated methods

With SnackView 1.0.9 the current method are now deprecated:

• init(withTitleOptions: andItems:)
• init(withTitle: andCloseButtonTitle: andItems:)

SnackViewDataSource contains all you need to handle title, cancel button title and items to display. For more info please see the SnackViewDataSource protocol documentation code.

• func insert(item: atIndex:)
• func remove(item:)
• func removeItemAt(index:)
• func updateWith(items:)

Please start using the new SnackViewDataSource instead, all the above operations can be performed simply by changing the return content in the func itemsFor(snackView:) method of SnackViewDataSource and call the reloadData() function to perform an update.

Create custom SVItems

You can create custom items subclassing SVItem class.

Here below an example.

import UIKit
import SnackView

//Create a subclass of SVItem
class SVCustomItem: SVItem {
    
    //Pass all parameters in init method to customize your SVItem
    init(withColor color: UIColor) {
        super.init()
        
        //Add an UIView
        let customView = UIView()
        customView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        customView.backgroundColor = color
        self.addSubview(customView)
       
        //Add UIView contraints
         let vConstraints = NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:|-[customView(70)]-|", options: [], metrics: nil, views: ["customView":customView])
        
        let hConstraints = NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "H:|-[customView]-|", options: [], metrics: nil, views: ["customView": customView])
        
        self.addConstraints(vConstraints + hConstraints)
    }
    
    required public convenience init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        self.init(coder: aDecoder)
    }
}
