    return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait
}

Dependencies

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Installation

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate YouTubeFloatingPlayer into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'YouTubeFloatingPlayer'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Usage

Import the library:

import YouTubeFloatingPlayer

Use YTFPlayer.initYTF() method to initialise Player with desired properties.

let videoID = "f0NdOE5GTgo"

// Initiates Player with an empty details view
YTFPlayer.initYTF(with: UIView(), videoID: videoID)

// Initiates Player with a tableView with other content
YTFPlayer.initYTF(with: tableView, tableCellNibName: "VideoCell", tableCellReuseIdentifier: "videoCell", videoID: videoID)

Once initialised, use YTFPlayer.showYTFView() method with its parameter set to the desired ViewController.

YTFPlayer.showYTFView(viewController: self)

Finally, use the finishYTFView() method to remove the Player from the view.

// Remove Player
finishYTFView(animated: true)
