A UIKit custom modal transition that simulates an elastic drag. Written in Swift.

Requirements

• iOS 7.0 or higher
• ARC
• Swift 2.0

Installation

####CocoaPods

iOS 8 or later

use_frameworks!
pod "ElasticTransition"

####Manual

Download and add ElasticTransition folder into your project.

Usage

First of all, in your view controller, create an instance of ElasticTransition

var transition = ElasticTransition()
override func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()

  // customization
  transition.edge = .Left
  transition.sticky = false
  transition.panThreshold = 0.3
  transition.transformType = .TranslateMid
  // ...
}

• Navigation Controller Delegate
• Modal
  • Interactive Present
  • Interactive Dismiss

---

Use as navigation controller's delegate

Simply assign the transition to your navigation controller's delegate

navigationController?.delegate =transition

---

Present as modal

In prepareForSegue, assign the transition to be the transitioningDelegate of the destinationViewController. Also, dont forget to set the modalPresentationStyle to .Custom

override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
  segue.destinationViewController.transitioningDelegate = transition
  segue.destinationViewController.modalPresentationStyle = .Custom
}

In your modal view controller implement the ElasticMenuTransitionDelegate and provide the contentLength

class MenuViewController: UIViewController, ElasticMenuTransitionDelegate {
  var contentLength:CGFloat = 320
  // ...
}

Interactive transition for modal transition

First, construct a pan gesture recognizer

let panGR = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "handlePan:")
view.addGestureRecognizer(panGR)

Then implement your gesture handler and fo the following:

func handlePan(pan:UIPanGestureRecognizer){
  if pan.state == .Began{
    // Here, you can do one of two things
    // 1. show a viewcontroller directly
    let nextViewController = // construct your VC ...
    transition.startInteractiveTransition(self, toViewController: nextViewController, gestureRecognizer: pan)
    // 2. perform a segue
    transition.startInteractiveTransition(self, segueIdentifier: "menu", gestureRecognizer: pan)
  }else{
    transition.updateInteractiveTransition(gestureRecognizer: pan)
  }
}

Interactive transition for dismissing the modal

1. Implement ElasticMenuTransitionDelegate in your modal view controller and set

  var dismissByBackgroundTouch = true
  var dismissByBackgroundDrag = true
  var dismissByForegroundDrag = true

2. Or use your own panGestureRecognizer and call dissmissInteractiveTransition in your handler

func handlePan(pan:UIPanGestureRecognizer){
  if pan.state == .Began{
    transition.dissmissInteractiveTransition(self, gestureRecognizer: pan, completion: nil)
  }else{
    transition.updateInteractiveTransition(gestureRecognizer: pan)
  }
}
