Version 3.0

[rechsteiner]

The next major version of Parchment aims to include the following features:

• SwiftUI support (Add wrapper for SwiftUI #460)
  It would be nice to provide a SwiftUI wrapper for Parchment. Need to figure out the API for this, but it looks like it should be possible without too many changes.

• Self-sizing cells (Add support for self-sizing cells #461)
  Today, if you want the menu items to be based on the cell's content you need to implement the widthForPagingItem delegate method and manually calculate the size (See SizeDelegateViewController.swift). With self-sizing cells the menu item size would be automatically calculated based on the constraints of your cells.

• Custom PageViewController (Custom page view controller #468)
  Parchment has been using EMPageViewController as a replacement for UIPageViewController to get better delegate methods. This has been working great, but it's a bit hard to make changes and improvements to the implementation. There's also been a few issues that would be nice to get fixed:

  • Appearance transitions sometimes gets called out of order (Appearance transitions #426)
  • Overrides the native isPagingEnabled bounce when scrolling fast to next page (link).
  • No support for RTL languages (RTL Support  #161)
  • No support for spacing between pages (Horizontal padding between pages #197) Spacing between pages will probably not be part of the 3.0 release.
     

  Making our own PageViewController would make it easier to add additional features and write tests to ensure that it's behaving correctly. It would also be nice to remove any third-party dependencies from Parchment.

• RTL language support (Custom page view controller #468)
  Parchment currently doesn't support right-to-left languages. There's a few ways to work around this (RTL Support  #161), but it should be supported out-of-the-box. The new page view controller implementation should make this possible.

Decided to remove vertical layouts from the 3.0 release. A pre-release of 3.0 is now available: https://github.com/rechsteiner/Parchment/releases/tag/v3.0.0-beta. Please let me know if anyone finds any issues

I have tried this new version with iOS 14 and I get 2 errors ... any ideas? I think it would be solved by adding import UIKit..

[rechsteiner]

Thanks for letting me know @sgmtal! There's a new beta release out now called 3.0.0-beta2: https://github.com/rechsteiner/Parchment/releases/tag/v3.0.0-beta2

I am getting this errors. Can you help?

[rechsteiner]

Hi @rocxteady! I'm not able to reproduce that error you are seeing. I've tried setting up multiple fresh projects, but all the different ways of installing seems fine. Could you share a bit more on your setup?
