TheSidebarController

TheSidebarController is a container view controller that manages 3 main view controllers namely - contentViewController, leftSidebarController and the rightSidebarController. Reveal the sidebar by calling either one of the following methods:

Presentation Methods

• presentLeftSidebarViewController - presents the left sidebar using the default Facebook type animation
• presentLeftSidebarViewControllerWithStyle: - presents the left sidebar by specifying one of the available presentation styles
• presentRightSidebarViewController - presents the right sidebar using the default Facebook type animation
• presentRightSidebarViewControllerWithStyle: - presents the right sidebar by specifying one of the available presentation styles

Transition Styles

• SidebarTransitionStyleFacebook - Content slides to reveal sidebar
• SidebarTransitionStyleAirbnb - Content rotates in 3D space to reveal sidebar
• SidebarTransitionStyleLuvocracy - Content zooms out to reveal sidebar
• SidebarTransitionStyleFeedly - Sidebar slides over content
• SidebarTransitionStyleFlipboard - Sidebar slides over while content zooms out
• SidebarTransitionStyleWunderlist - Content and sidebar slide making a parallax effect

Delegation Methods

• sidebarController:willShowViewController:
• sidebarController:didShowViewController:
• sidebarController:willHideViewController:
• sidebarController:didHideViewController:

This project is inspired by RESideMenu. I almost copied everything. Thanks Roman! :)

Installation

Manual

Drag and drop TheSidebarController folder into your project. Add #import "TheSidebarController.h" to all view controllers that need to use it.

Cocoapods

Cocoapods is amazing. If you're still not using it, start now! This is the recommended approach to manage your dependencies. Learn from their official website: http://guides.cocoapods.org/

In the project folder where .xcodeproj resides, create a Podfile:

$ touch Podfile

Edit Podfile and add TheSidebarController:

platform :ios, '7.0'
pod 'TheSidebarController', '~> 0.6'

Install:

$ pod install

Open .xcworkspace and not the .xcodeproj:

$ open MyApp.xcworkspace

Import TheSidebarController where needed:

#import <TheSidebarController/TheSidebarController.h>

Sample Usage

In your AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    ContentViewController *contentViewController = [[ContentViewController alloc] init];
    UINavigationController *contentNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:contentViewController];
    
    LeftSidebarViewController *leftSidebarViewController = [[LeftSidebarViewController alloc] init];    
    RightSidebarViewController *rightSidebarViewController = [[RightSidebarViewController alloc] init];
    
    TheSidebarController *sidebarController = [[TheSidebarController alloc] initWithContentViewController:contentNavigationController
                                                                                leftSidebarViewController:leftSidebarViewController
                                                                               rightSidebarViewController:rightSidebarViewController];
    
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    self.window.rootViewController = sidebarController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

Present the sidebar view controller

[self.sidebarController presentLeftSidebarViewControllerWithStyle:SidebarTransitionStyleFacebook];

Dismiss the sidebar view controller

[self.sidebarController dismissSidebarViewController];

Replace content view controller

self.sidebarController.contentViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];

Requirements

• Xcode 5 or higher
• iOS 7.0 or higher
• ARC

Demo

Build and run the Examples/Basic and Examples/KitchenSink projects in Xcode to see TheSidebarController in action.

Known Bugs

CATransform3D does not play well with autorotation. A simple 3D rotate screws up view positions when device orientation changes. Would appreciate some help on this.
