The elegant dropdown menu, written in Swift, appears underneath navigation bar to display a list of related items when a user click on the navigation title.
BTNavigationDropdownMenu is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
use_frameworks!
pod 'BTNavigationDropdownMenu'Go ahead and import BTNavigationDropdownMenu into your own Swift files
import BTNavigationDropdownMenuNote: This library mainly supports for Xcode 7, Swift 2.0 and embedded frameworks.
Start by creating an Array that contains strings as elements of dropdown list:
let items = ["Most Popular", "Latest", "Trending", "Nearest", "Top Picks"]Create a new instance of BTNavigationDropdownMenu:
let menuView = BTNavigationDropdownMenu(navigationController: self.navigationController, containerView: self.navigationController!.view, title: "Dropdown Menu", items: items)or just simple like this:
let menuView = BTNavigationDropdownMenu(title: items[0], items: items)By default, navigationController is the top most navigation controller and containerView is keyWindow.
(keyWindow is recommended for containerView because in this way, the black overlay can cover the whole screen. But in some cases, keyWindow doesn't work properly, like using with side menu, (e.g. SWRevealViewController), the dropdown menu didn't move along with their parent view controller or navigation controller. To resolve this issue, you can use self.navigationController!.view instead.)
Set title of navigation bar as menuView:
self.navigationItem.titleView = menuViewCall BTNavigationDropdownMenu closure to get the index of selected cell:
menuView.didSelectItemAtIndexHandler = {[weak self] (indexPath: Int) -> () in
print("Did select item at index: \(indexPath)")
self.selectedCellLabel.text = items[indexPath]
}Use menuView.show() or menuView.hide() if you want to show or hide dropdown menu manually.
Use menuView.toggle() to toogle dropdown menu shown/hide.
Use menuView.isShown (Boolean type) property to check showing state of dropdown menu.
Use menuView.updateItems(items: [AnyObject]) to update items in dropdown menu if needed.
Once you have assigned the items and frame for dropdown menu, you can custom the look and the feel of menu. You can override these properties for your favor:
