AMSlideOutNavigationController

SlideOut Navigation Controller for iOS. This controller replicates the behaviour of the 'slide-out' navigation of applications like Facebook or Steam. The project currently mimics FB's app styling, you can change all the table colors in the AMSlideOutGlobals.h. ARC only.

Part of the code is based off this blog post made by Nick Harris

Setup

• Add the AMSlideOut folder to your project
• Link against QuartzCore framework
• Import AMSlideOutNavigationController.h in your AppDelegate
• Init AMSlideOutNavigationController using the data structure as follows.

Init data

The ViewControllers presented by the SlideOut navigation are arranged in sections and rows of a UITableView.

You can use the following helper methods to setup your views:

• addSectionWithTitle: to add a section
• addViewControllerToLastSection:tagged:withTitle:andIcon: to add a viewcontroller to the last section
• addViewControllerToLastSection:tagged:withTitle:andIcon:beforeChange:onCompletition: to add a viewcontroller and call a block before and after the view switch
• addViewController:tagged:withTitle:andIcon:toSection: to add a viewcontroller to a specific section
• addViewController:tagged:withTitle:andIcon:toSection:beforeChange:onCompletition: to add a viewcontroller to a specific section and call a block before and after the switch

To create a new section:

// Note: Leave the title blank to hide the section header
[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:@"Section"];

To create a new row:

[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller		// Your UIViewController
												 tagged:1				// Used to change the object's properties, i.e. the badge
											  withTitle:@"First View"	
												andIcon:@"icon1.png"];	// 44x44 icon held in the project's resources

The main data structure is an array of sections. Each section item is a dictionary, containing the section title and an array describing the ViewControllers. Each item of this array is a dictionary containing the title, icon's file name, a numeric tag and the reference to the ViewController. You can also pass the complete data structure to the init method, but it's not recommended. Check out the sample to understand how these methods work.

Sample

self.slideoutController = [AMSlideOutNavigationController slideOutNavigation];

// Add a first section
[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:@"Section One"];

// Add two viewcontrollers to the first section
controller = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:1 withTitle:@"First View" andIcon:@"icon1.png"];

controller = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:2 withTitle:@"Second View" andIcon:@"icon2.png"];

// Add a second section
[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:@"Section Two"];

// Add two viewcontrollers to the second section
controller = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller
												 tagged:3
											  withTitle:@"First View"
												andIcon:@"icon1.png"
										   beforeChange:^{
											   NSLog(@"Changing viewController");
										   } onCompletition:^{
											   NSLog(@"Done");
										   }];

controller = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:4 withTitle:@"Second View" andIcon:@"icon2.png"];

[self.window setRootViewController:self.slideoutController];

Sections

Leave the section name blank if you don't want the section header visible.

Badges

Set the badge value (NSString) via the method setBadgeValue:forTag:. This sets the badge value of the row with the numeric tag provided during the views' setup.

[self.slideoutController setBadgeValue:@"10" forTag:3];

Icons

The icon must be 44x44. Blank icon name will result in a row with only text, with different indentation.
