Preview

Installation

LGSideMenuController version	iOS version
<= 1.0.10	>= 6.0
>= 1.1.0	>= 8.0

With source code

Download repository, then add LGSideMenuController directory to your project.

Then import header files where you need to use the library

Objective-C

#import "LGSideMenuController.h"
#import "UIViewController+LGSideMenuController.h"

Swift

For swift you need to create bridging header

// BridgingHeader.h
#import "LGSideMenuController.h"
#import "UIViewController+LGSideMenuController.h"

With CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries in your projects. To install with cocoaPods, follow the "Get Started" section on CocoaPods.

Podfile

platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'LGSideMenuController'

Then import framework where you need to use the library

Objective-C

#import <LGSideMenuController/LGSideMenuController.h>
#import <LGSideMenuController/UIViewController+LGSideMenuController.h>
// OR
@import LGSideMenuController;
// OR
@import LGSideMenuController.LGSideMenuController;
@import LGSideMenuController.UIViewController_LGSideMenuController;

Swift

import LGSideMenuController
// OR
import LGSideMenuController.LGSideMenuController
import LGSideMenuController.UIViewController_LGSideMenuController

With Carthage

Carthage is a lightweight dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C. It leverages CocoaTouch modules and is less invasive than CocoaPods. To install with carthage, follow the instruction on Carthage.

Cartfile

github "Friend-LGA/LGSideMenuController"

Then import framework where you need to use the library

Objective-C

#import <LGSideMenuController/LGSideMenuController.h>
#import <LGSideMenuController/UIViewController+LGSideMenuController.h>
// OR
@import LGSideMenuController;
// OR
@import LGSideMenuController.LGSideMenuController;
@import LGSideMenuController.UIViewController_LGSideMenuController;

Swift

import LGSideMenuController
// OR
import LGSideMenuController.LGSideMenuController
import LGSideMenuController.UIViewController_LGSideMenuController

Usage

Initialization

You can use view controllers or views to initialize LGSideMenuController:

Objective-C

- (nonnull instancetype)initWithRootViewController:(nullable UIViewController *)rootViewController;

- (nonnull instancetype)initWithRootViewController:(nullable UIViewController *)rootViewController
                                leftViewController:(nullable UIViewController *)leftViewController
                               rightViewController:(nullable UIViewController *)rightViewController;

- (nonnull instancetype)initWithRootView:(nullable UIView *)rootView;

- (nonnull instancetype)initWithRootView:(nullable UIView *)rootView
                                leftView:(nullable UIView *)leftView
                               rightView:(nullable UIView *)rightView;

Swift

public init(rootViewController: UIViewController?)

public init(rootViewController: UIViewController?,
            leftViewController: UIViewController?,
           rightViewController: UIViewController?)

public init(rootView: UIView?)

public init(rootView: UIView?,
            leftView: UIView?,
           rightView: UIView?)

Setup

To set or to change root, left or right view controllers or views, call:

sideMenuController.rootViewController = rootViewController
sideMenuController.leftViewController = leftViewController
sideMenuController.rightViewController = rightViewController

sideMenuController.rootView = rootView
sideMenuController.leftView = leftView
sideMenuController.rightView = rightView

If you set, for example, sideMenuController.rootViewController = rootViewController, then sideMenuController.rootView == rootViewController.view.
If you have, for example, sideMenuController.rootViewController != nil and you set sideMenuController.rootView = rootView, then sideMenuController.rootViewController == nil.

Quick Example

Programmatically

Objective-C

UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIViewController new];
UITableViewController *leftViewController = [UITableViewController new];
UITableViewController *rightViewController = [UITableViewController new];

UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];

LGSideMenuController *sideMenuController = [LGSideMenuController sideMenuControllerWithRootViewController:navigationController
                                                                                       leftViewController:leftViewController
                                                                                      rightViewController:rightViewController];

sideMenuController.leftViewWidth = 250.0;
sideMenuController.leftViewPresentationStyle = LGSideMenuPresentationStyleScaleFromBig;

sideMenuController.rightViewWidth = 100.0;
sideMenuController.leftViewPresentationStyle = LGSideMenuPresentationStyleSlideBelow;

Swift

let rootViewController = UIViewController()
let leftViewController = UITableViewController()
let rightViewController = UITableViewController()

let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: rootViewController)

let sideMenuController = LGSideMenuController(rootViewController: navigationController,
                                              leftViewController: leftViewController,
                                             rightViewController: rightViewController)

sideMenuController.leftViewWidth = 250.0;
sideMenuController.leftViewPresentationStyle = .scaleFromBig;

sideMenuController.rightViewWidth = 100.0;
sideMenuController.leftViewPresentationStyle = .slideBelow;

With storyboard

Create instance of LGSideMenuController
Create some root view controller (for example UINavigationController)
Create some left view controller (for example UITableViewController)
Create some right view controller (for example UITableViewController)
Now you need to connect them all using segues of class LGSideMenuSegue and with identifiers: root, left, right.

You can change leftViewWidth, leftViewPresentationStyle, rightViewWidth and rightViewPresentationStyle inside LGSideMenuController's attributes inspector. There you can also find all other properties.

For better examples check demo projects.

Blur

You can use UIBlurEffect with next properties:

UIBlurEffect *leftViewBackgroundBlurEffect;
UIBlurEffect *rightViewBackgroundBlurEffect;

UIBlurEffect *rootViewCoverBlurEffectForLeftView;
UIBlurEffect *rootViewCoverBlurEffectForRightView;

UIBlurEffect *leftViewCoverBlurEffect;
UIBlurEffect *rightViewCoverBlurEffect;

For example:

Objective-C

sideMenuController.leftViewBackgroundBlurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleRegular];

Swift

sideMenuController.leftViewBackgroundBlurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .regular)

If you want to change color of blurred view, use:

UIColor *leftViewBackgroundColor;
UIColor *rightViewBackgroundColor;

UIColor *rootViewCoverColorForLeftView;
UIColor *rootViewCoverColorForRightView;

UIColor *leftViewCoverColor;
UIColor *rightViewCoverColor;

For example:

Objective-C

sideMenuController.leftViewBackgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.5 blue:1.0 alpha:0.1];

Swift

sideMenuController.leftViewBackgroundColor = UIColor(red: 0.0, green: 0.5, blue: 1.0, alpha: 0.1)

If you want to change intensity of blurred view, use:

CGFloat leftViewBackgroundAlpha;
CGFloat rightViewBackgroundAlpha;

CGFloat rootViewCoverAlphaForLeftView;
CGFloat rootViewCoverAlphaForRightView;

CGFloat CGFloatleftViewCoverAlpha;
CGFloat rightViewCoverAlpha;

For example:

sideMenuController.leftViewBackgroundAlpha = 0.9;

Status Bar

You can't use prefersStatusBarHidden, preferredStatusBarStyle, preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation, instead you need to override all these methods for each controller separated, or use properties of sideMenuController:

BOOL rootViewStatusBarHidden;
UIStatusBarStyle rootViewStatusBarStyle;
UIStatusBarAnimation rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation;

BOOL leftViewStatusBarHidden;
UIStatusBarStyle leftViewStatusBarStyle;
UIStatusBarAnimation leftViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation;

BOOL rightViewStatusBarHidden;
UIStatusBarStyle rightViewStatusBarStyle;
UIStatusBarAnimation rightViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation;

And these properties have greater priority then overridden prefersStatusBarHidden, preferredStatusBarStyle, preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation.

For example, you had sideMenuController with rootViewController, leftViewController and rightViewController. For rootViewController, you can override it's default methods or use sideMenuController's properties:

Objective-C

// In RootViewController.m

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return NO;
}

- (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle {
    return UIStatusBarStyleDefault;
}

- (UIStatusBarAnimation)preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation {
    return UIStatusBarAnimationNone;
}

// OR in SideMenuController.m

self.rootViewStatusBarHidden = NO;
self.rootViewStatusBarStyle = UIStatusBarStyleDefault;
self.rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation = UIStatusBarAnimationNone;

// OR

- (BOOL)isRootViewStatusBarHidden {
    return NO;
}

- (UIStatusBarStyle)rootViewStatusBarStyle {
    return UIStatusBarStyleDefault;
}

- (UIStatusBarAnimation)rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation {
    return UIStatusBarAnimationNone;
}

Swift

// In RootViewController.swift

override var prefersStatusBarHidden : Bool {
    return false
}

override var preferredStatusBarStyle : UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .default
}

override var preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation : UIStatusBarAnimation {
    return .none
}

// OR in SideMenuController.swift

rootViewStatusBarHidden = false
rootViewStatusBarStyle = .default
rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation = .none

// OR

override var isRootViewStatusBarHidden : Bool {
    get { return false }
    set { super.isRootViewStatusBarHidden = newValue }
}

override var rootViewStatusBarStyle : UIStatusBarStyle {
    get { return .default }
    set { super.rootViewStatusBarStyle = newValue }
}

override var rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation : UIStatusBarAnimation {
    get { return .none }
    set { super.rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation = newValue }
}

For leftViewController and rightViewController principe the same, but lets look at situation, when animations are different for each viewController.

When side views are hidden, then statusBarUpdateAnimation == rootViewController.statusBarUpdateAnimation.
When left view is going to show, then statusBarUpdateAnimation == leftViewController.statusBarUpdateAnimation.
When left view is going to hide and root view is going to show, then statusBarUpdateAnimation == rootViewController.statusBarUpdateAnimation.

But may be you want to statusBarUpdateAnimation == leftViewController.statusBarUpdateAnimation also when left view is going to hide.
Then you can do next:

Objective-C

// In RootViewController.m

- (UIStatusBarAnimation)preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation {
    if (self.sideMenuController.isLeftViewVisible) {
        return UIStatusBarAnimationFade;
    }
    else if (self.sideMenuController.isRightViewVisible) {
        return UIStatusBarAnimationSlide;
    }
    else {
        return UIStatusBarAnimationNone;
    }
}

// OR in SideMenuController.m

- (UIStatusBarAnimation)rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation {
    if (self.isLeftViewVisible) {
        return UIStatusBarAnimationFade;
    }
    else if (self.isRightViewVisible) {
        return UIStatusBarAnimationSlide;
    }
    else {
        return UIStatusBarAnimationNone;
    }
}

Swift

// In RootViewController.swift

override var preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation : UIStatusBarAnimation {
    if sideMenuController.isLeftViewVisible {
        return UIStatusBarAnimationFade
    }
    else if sideMenuController.isRightViewVisible {
        return UIStatusBarAnimationSlide
    }
    else {
        return UIStatusBarAnimationNone
    }
}

// OR in SideMenuController.swift

override var rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation : UIStatusBarAnimation {
    get {
        if isLeftViewVisible {
            return UIStatusBarAnimationFade
        }
        else if isRightViewVisible {
            return UIStatusBarAnimationSlide
        }
        else {
            return UIStatusBarAnimationNone
        }
    }

    set { super.rootViewStatusBarUpdateAnimation = newValue }
}

Always visible options

Sometimes, for example on iPad, you need to have toggleable side menu on portrait orientation and always visible side menu on landscape orientation

You can get it with properties:

LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOptions leftViewAlwaysVisibleOptions;
LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOptions rightViewAlwaysVisibleOptions;

LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOptions has values:

LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnNone
LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnLandscape
LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnPortrait
LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnPad
LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnPhone
LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnPadLandscape
LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnPadPortrait
LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnPhoneLandscape
LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnPhonePortrait
LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnAll

You can choose multiple values like this:

Objective-C

sideMenuController.leftViewAlwaysVisibleOptions = LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnPadLandscape|LGSideMenuAlwaysVisibleOnPhoneLandscape;

Swift

sideMenuController.leftViewAlwaysVisibleOptions = [.onPadLandscape, .onPhoneLandscape]

NavigationController's back gesture

Back gesture for UINavigationController has greater priority then swipe gesture for LGSideMenuController. But if you want, you can disable interactivePopGestureRecognizer, or change swipeGestureArea, or increase leftViewSwipeGestureRange, rightViewSwipeGestureRange.

Objective-C

navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;

// OR

sideMenuController.swipeGestureArea = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureAreaFull;

// OR

sideMenuController.leftViewSwipeGestureRange = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureRangeMake(44.0, 88.0);
sideMenuController.rightViewSwipeGestureRange = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureRangeMake(88.0, 44.0);

Swift

navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.isEnabled = false

// OR

sideMenuController.swipeGestureArea = .full

// OR

sideMenuController.leftViewSwipeGestureRange = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureRangeMake(44.0, 88.0)
sideMenuController.rightViewSwipeGestureRange = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureRangeMake(88.0, 44.0)

Editable Table View

If you have editable table view inside sideMenuController, then it will work fine if you swipe rows not inside swipeGestureArea for sideMenuController. If you need more place for swipe inside table view, then you can decrease leftViewSwipeGestureRange, rightViewSwipeGestureRange or disable it.

Objective-C

sideMenuController.swipeGestureArea = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureAreaBorders; // Default

sideMenuController.leftViewSwipeGestureRange = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureRangeMake(44.0, 32.0);
sideMenuController.rightViewSwipeGestureRange = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureRangeMake(32.0, 44.0);

// OR

sideMenuController.leftViewSwipeGestureEnabled = NO;
sideMenuController.rightViewSwipeGestureEnabled = NO;

Swift

sideMenuController.swipeGestureArea = .borders // Default

sideMenuController.leftViewSwipeGestureRange = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureRangeMake(44.0, 32.0)
sideMenuController.rightViewSwipeGestureRange = LGSideMenuSwipeGestureRangeMake(32.0, 44.0)

// OR

sideMenuController.leftViewSwipeGestureEnabled = false
sideMenuController.rightViewSwipeGestureEnabled = false

Handle actions

To handle actions you can use delegate, blocks or notifications:

Delegate

Objective-C
