Requirements

  • iOS 8.0+
  • Xcode 8
  • Swift 3 (<= 1.0.3)
  • Swift 4 (>= 1.1.0)
  • Swift 4.2 (~> 2.0)

Installation

You can install GlidingCollection in several ways:

  • Add source files to your project.

pod 'GlidingCollection'

github "Ramotion/gliding-collection"

How to use

• Create a view controller class:

import GlidingCollection

class ViewController: UIViewController {
  let items = ["gloves", "boots", "bindings", "hoodie"]
}

• Drag a UIView onto the canvas. Change it's class to GlidingCollection and use autolayout constraints.

step-2

• Connect this view to your view controller class as an @IBOutlet.

@IBOutlet var glidingCollection: GlidingCollection!

• Make your view controller conform to GlidingCollectionDatasource. It's very similar to the UITableView or UICollectionView datasource protocols that you know:

extension ViewController: GlidingCollectionDatasource {

  func numberOfItems(in collection: GlidingCollection) -> Int {
    return items.count
  }

  func glidingCollection(_ collection: GlidingCollection, itemAtIndex index: Int) -> String {
    return "" + items[index]
  }

}

• Make your view controller conform to UICollectionViewDatasource:

extension ViewController: UICollectionViewDatasource {
  
  func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    let section = glidingView.expandedItemIndex // Value of expanded section.
    return images[section].count
  }
  
  func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
    guard let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath) as? CollectionCell else { return UICollectionViewCell() }
    // Configure and return your cell.
    return cell
  }
  
}

Customize

You can customize the appearance of GlidingCollection by overriding GlidingConfig's shared instance with your own.

var config = GlidingConfig.shared
config.buttonsFont = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 22)
config.activeButtonColor = .black
config.inactiveButtonsColor = .lightGray
GlidingConfig.shared = config

🗒 All parameters with their descriptions are listed in GlidingConfig.


Notes

There is a GlidingCollectionDelegate protocol which can notify you when item in GlidingCollection didSelect, willExpand and didExpand.

If you want to achieve a parallax effect on a horizontal cards stack, you need to place your parallax view in a cell's contentView and set its tag to 99.

parallax-view

There is a kGlidingCollectionParallaxViewTag constant if you want to layout a cell in code.

imageView.tag = kGlidingCollectionParallaxViewTag
