#DCPathButton

DCPathButton is a custom menu button for iOS. The original design for this control first appeared in the well-known iOS app, Path. Starting in Path 4.0, this beautiful button appeared in the tab bar, with a new design. The DCPathButton is a close replication of Path's button, including the animations, the sounds and the button's images (of course you can use your own images).

How To Get Started

• Download DCPathButton
• Clone DCPathButton

git clone git@github.com:Tangdixi/DCPathButton.git

##Installation

You can install DCPathButton in a traditional way -- drag the DCPathButton folder into your project. However, it is strongly recommended that you install via CocoaPods.

####Requirements

• AudioToolBox.framework
• QuartzCore.framework

##Install with CocoaPods CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C and Swift, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries like DCPathButton in your projects.

####Podfile

platform :ios, '7.0'
pod 'DCPathButton', '~> 2.1.3'

##Usage

####Create a DCPathButton

1.import the "DCPathButton" to your controller

import "DCPathButton.h"

2.Add the DCPathButtonDelegate to your controller

@interface ViewController ()<DCPathButtonDelegate>

3.Create a center button and add it into your view

DCPathButton *centerButton = [[DCPathButton alloc]initWithCenterImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"chooser-button-tab"]
                                                      hilightedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"chooser-button-tab-highlighted"]];
[self.view addSubView:centerButton];

4.Create some item buttons and add them to the center button

DCPathItemButton *itemButton_1 = [[DCPathItemButton alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image"]
                                                       highlightedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"highlightedImage"]
                                                        backgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"backgroundImage"]
                                             backgroundHighlightedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"backgroundhighlightedImage"]];

[centerButton addPathItems:@[itemButton_1]];

####DCPathButtonDelegate

<DCPathButtonDelegate> handle the action when you fire the item buttons which is similar to the UITableViewDelegate, control the items through the index

You can add a minimum of one item or a maximum of five items. The itemButtonIndex parameter is Assuming we have five items, so the itemButtonIndex is 0 to 4.

- (void)pathButton:(DCPathButton *)dcPathButton clickItemButtonAtIndex:(NSUInteger)itemButtonIndex {
    NSLog(@"You tap %@ at index : %lu", dcPathButton, (unsigned long)itemButtonIndex);
}

You also can do something before or when the item buttons appear:

- (void)willPresentItemButton {
    
    NSLog(@"ItemButton will present");
    
}
- (void)didPresentItemButton {

    NSLog(@"ItemButton did present");
    
}

##Custom Properties

@property (assign, nonatomic) CGFloat bloomRadius;

bloomRadius is used to handle the item button bloom radius. The default value is 105.0f.

---

@property (assign, nonatomic) CGPoint dcButtonCenter;

dcButtonCenter is used to modify the center button's position. The default value positions the DCPathButton in bottom center.

---

@property (assign, nonatomic) BOOL allowSounds;

allowSounds is used to enable the button's sound. The default value is YES.

---

@property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *bloomSoundPath;
@property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *foldSoundPath;
@property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *itemSoundPath;

You can change the button's sound by specifying the path of a custom sound file, for instance:

self.bloomSoundPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"bloom" ofType:@"caf"];

---

@property (assign, nonatomic) kDCPathButtonBloomDirection bloomDirection;

There are 9 directions in DCPathButton, use the bloomDirection property to change the direction. All the directions are defined in the NS_ENUM below:

typedef NS_ENUM(NSUInteger, kDCPathButtonBloomDirection) {
    
    kDCPathButtonBloomDirectionTop = 1,
    kDCPathButtonBloomDirectionTopLeft = 2,
    kDCPathButtonBloomDirectionLeft = 3,
    kDCPathButtonBloomDirectionBottomLeft = 4,
    kDCPathButtonBloomDirectionBottom = 5,
    kDCPathButtonBloomDirectionBottomRight = 6,
    kDCPathButtonBloomDirectionRight = 7,
    kDCPathButtonBloomDirectionTopRight = 8,
    kDCPathButtonBloomDirectionCenter = 9,
    
};

---

@property (assign, nonatomic) CGFloat bloomAngel;

bloomAngel is used for changing the item button's bloom angle.

---

@property (assign, nonatomic) BOOL allowSubItemRotation;

allowSubItemRotation is used for handling the rotation of the subItems.

---

@property (assign, nonatomic) NSTimeInterval basicDuration;

basicDuration is used for changing the bloom animation's duration / speed.
