Installation

LGAlertView version	iOS version
<= 2.0.13	>= 6.0
>= 2.1.0	>= 8.0

With source code

Download repository, then add LGAlertView directory to your project.

Then import header files where you need to use the library

Objective-C

#import "LGAlertView.h"

Swift

For swift you need to create bridging header

// BridgingHeader.h
#import "LGAlertView.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 'LGAlertView'

Then import framework where you need to use the library

Objective-C

#import <LGAlertView/LGAlertView.h>
// OR
@import LGAlertView;

Swift

import LGAlertView

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/LGAlertView"

Then import framework where you need to use the library

Objective-C

#import <LGAlertView/LGAlertView.h>
// OR
@import LGAlertView;

Swift

import LGAlertView

More init methods you can find in LGAlertView.h

Setup

You can change properties only before you show alert view, after this to change something is impossible.

Instead of change properties for every new alert view, you can use global class properties to set them all only once and new alert views will use it by default:

Objective-C

LGAlertView.tintColor = UIColor.greenColor;
LGAlertView.cancelOnTouch = NO;
LGAlertView.dismissOnAction = NO;
LGAlertView...
LGAlertView...

Swift

LGAlertView.tintColor = .green
LGAlertView.cancelOnTouch = false
LGAlertView.dismissOnAction = false
LGAlertView...
LGAlertView...

If you want to set properties for each button individually, you can use method:

Objective-C

- (void)setButtonPropertiesAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index handler:(void(^ _Nonnull)(LGAlertViewButtonProperties * _Nonnull properties))handler;

[alertView setButtonPropertiesAtIndex:0 handler:^(LGAlertViewButtonProperties * _Nonnull properties) {
    properties.titleColor = UIColor.yellowColor;
    properties.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"SuperImage"];
    // properties...
    // properties...
}];

Swift

open func setButtonPropertiesAt(_ index: UInt, handler: @escaping (LGAlertViewButtonProperties) -> Swift.Void)

alertView.setButtonPropertiesAt(0) { (properties: LGAlertViewButtonProperties) in
    properties.titleColor = .yellow
    properties.image = UIImage(named: "SuperImage")
    // properties...
    // properties...
}

Enable / Disable

You can enable and disable buttons:

Objective-C

alertView.cancelButtonEnabled = YES;
alertView.destructiveButtonEnabled = YES;
[alertView setButtonEnabled:YES atIndex:0];

Swift

alertView.cancelButtonEnabled = true
alertView.destructiveButtonEnabled = true
alertView.setButtonEnabled(true, index: 0)

Retain Cycle

When you use blocks and if you need to use self inside it, then you need to make weak reference to self to avoid retain cycle:

Objective-C

__weak typeof(self) wself = self;

alertView.cancelHandler = ^(LGAlertView *alertView) {
    __strong typeof(wself) sself = wself;

    [sself someMethod];
};

Swift

alertView.cancelHandler = { [unowned self](alertView: LGAlertView) in
    self.someMethod()
}

Blur

You can use UIBlurEffect with next properties:

UIBlurEffect *coverBlurEffect;

For example:

Objective-C

alertView.coverBlurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleRegular];

Swift

alertView.coverBlurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .regular)

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

UIColor *coverColor;

For example:

Objective-C

alertView.coverColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.5 blue:1.0 alpha:0.1];

Swift

alertView.coverColor = UIColor(red: 0.0, green: 0.5, blue: 1.0, alpha: 0.1)

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

CGFloat coverAlpha;

For example:

alertView.coverAlpha = 0.9;

Handle actions

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

Delegate

Objective-C

<LGAlertViewDelegate>

@optional

- (void)alertViewWillShow:(LGAlertView *)alertView;
- (void)alertViewWillDismiss:(LGAlertView *)alertView;

- (void)alertViewDidShow:(LGAlertView *)alertView;
- (void)alertViewDidDismiss:(LGAlertView *)alertView;

- (void)alertView:(LGAlertView *)alertView buttonPressedWithTitle:(NSString *)title index:(NSUInteger)index;
- (void)alertViewCancelled:(LGAlertView *)alertView;
- (void)alertViewDestructiveButtonPressed:(LGAlertView *)alertView;

Swift

<LGAlertViewDelegate>

optional public func alertViewWillShow(_ alertView: LGAlertView)
optional public func alertViewDidShow(_ alertView: LGAlertView)

optional public func alertViewWillDismiss(_ alertView: LGAlertView)
optional public func alertViewDidDismiss(_ alertView: LGAlertView)

optional public func alertView(_ alertView: LGAlertView, buttonPressedWithTitle title: String?, index: UInt)
optional public func alertViewCancelled(_ alertView: LGAlertView)
optional public func alertViewDestructiveButtonPressed(_ alertView: LGAlertView)

Blocks

Objective-C

void(^ _Nullable willShowHandler)(LGAlertView * _Nonnull alertView);

void(^ _Nullable willShowHandler)(LGAlertView * _Nonnull alertView);
void(^ _Nullable didShowHandler)(LGAlertView * _Nonnull alertView);

void(^ _Nullable willDismissHandler)(LGAlertView * _Nonnull alertView);
void(^ _Nullable didDismissHandler)(LGAlertView * _Nonnull alertView);

void(^ _Nullable actionHandler)(LGAlertView * _Nonnull alertView, NSString * _Nullable title, NSUInteger index);
void(^ _Nullable cancelHandler)(LGAlertView * _Nonnull alertView);
void(^ _Nullable destructiveHandler)(LGAlertView * _Nonnull alertView);

Swift

open var willShowHandler: ((LGAlertView) -> Swift.Void)?
open var didShowHandler: ((LGAlertView) -> Swift.Void)?

open var willDismissHandler: ((LGAlertView) -> Swift.Void)?
open var didDismissHandler: ((LGAlertView) -> Swift.Void)?

open var actionHandler: ((LGAlertView, NSString, NSUInteger) -> Swift.Void)?
open var cancelHandler: ((LGAlertView) -> Swift.Void)?
open var destructiveHandler: ((LGAlertView) -> Swift.Void)?

Notifications

LGAlertViewWillShowNotification
LGAlertViewDidShowNotification

LGAlertViewWillDismissNotification
LGAlertViewDidDismissNotification

LGAlertViewActionNotification
LGAlertViewCancelNotification
LGAlertViewDestructiveNotification
