💡🏞 Inspired by Kevin Gautier shot

Requirements

• iOS 12.0+
• Xcode 10.2+
• Swift 5.0+

Installation

Just add the CircularCarousel directory to your project.

or use CocoaPods with Podfile:

pod 'CircularCarousel'

or just drag and drop the CircularCarousel directory to your project

Usage

1 Create a custom view that will be used as a carousel item. In this tutorial we will just use a blank UIView.

2 Create a view controller or container view that handles datasource and delegate responses for the contained Carousel.

final class ContainerView : UITableViewCell, CircularCarouselDataSource, CircularCarouselDelegate {

}

2.1 Add a reference to the carousel control and the selection of a delegate and datasource to your Carousel control.

private weak var _carousel : CircularCarousel!

@IBOutlet var carousel : CircularCarousel! {
    set {
        _carousel = newValue
        _carousel.delegate = self
        _carousel.dataSource = self
    }
        
    get {
        return _carousel
    }
}

3 Implement the DataSource and Delegate functions. Some of the key functions are listed below.

3.1 Datasource

func numberOfItems(inCarousel carousel: CircularCarousel) -> Int {
    return /* Number of carousel items */
}

func carousel(_: CircularCarousel, viewForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath, reuseView view: UIView?) -> UIView {
    var view = view as? UIVIew

    if view == nil {
    	view = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50))
    }

    return view
}

func startingItemIndex(inCarousel carousel: CircularCarousel) -> Int {
    return /* Insert starting item index */
}

3.2 Delegate

Select how you want the carousel to operate based on the control variables specified below :

func carousel<CGFloat>(_ carousel: CircularCarousel, valueForOption option: CircularCarouselOption, withDefaultValue defaultValue: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {
	switch option {
    case .itemWidth:
        return /* Select item width for carousel */
    /*  Insert one of the following handlers :
	case spacing
	case fadeMin
	case fadeMax
	case fadeRange
	case fadeMinAlpha
	case offsetMultiplier
	case itemWidth
	case scaleMultiplier
	case minScale
	case maxScale
    */
    default:
        return defaultValue
    }
}

Handle the selection of a particular carousel item :

func carousel(_ carousel: CircularCarousel, didSelectItemAtIndex index: Int) {
    /* Handle selection of the selected carousel item */
}

Handle will begin scrolling :

func carousel(_ carousel: CircularCarousel, willBeginScrollingToIndex index: Int) {

}

To handle spacing between items depending on their offst from the center :

func carousel(_ carousel: CircularCarousel, spacingForOffset offset: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {        
    return /* Based on the offset from center, adjust the spacing of the item */
}

That's it, the Carousel is good to go!
