SQReorderableStackView

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Requirements

• iOS 9.0 and later
• Swift 4.2

Installation

SQReorderableStackView is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "SQReorderableStackView"

Usage

SQReorderableStackView is a subclass of UIStackView. To use with Interface Builder, add a UIStackView nib and set its custom class to SQReorderableStackView. It does not require a reorderDelegate to be set.
NOTE: Any subviews whose userInteractionEnabled property is set to false will not be able to be "picked up" by the user.

Public Properties

SQReorderableStackView

    /// Whether or not the subviews can be picked and reordered.
    public var reorderingEnabled = true

    /// The delegate for reordering.
    public var reorderDelegate: SQReorderableStackViewDelegate?
    
    /// The relative scale of the held view's snapshot during reordering to its subview's canonical size. Default is `1.1`
    public var temporaryViewScale: CGFloat = 1.1
    
    /// The releative scale of the other subviews's size during reordering. Default is `0.95`
    public var otherViewsScale: CGFloat = 0.95
    
    /// The alpha of the held view's snapshot curing reordering. Defaults is `0.9`
    public var temporaryViewAlpha: CGFloat = 0.9
    
    /// The gap created once the long press drag is triggered. Default is `5`
    public var dragHintSpacing: CGFloat = 5
    
    /// The longPress duration for activating reordering. Default is `0.2` seconds
    public var longPressMinimumPressDuration = 0.2
    
    /// Determines whether or not the axis is horizontal.
    public var isHorizontal: Bool // readonly
    
    /// Determines whether or not the axis is vertical.
    public var isVertical: Bool // readonly

Delegate Methods

Using a reorderDelegate allows both finer control of individual subviews' reordering and responding to changes made to the order of the subviews by the user.

SQReorderableStackViewDelegate

    /// called when a subview is "picked up" by the user
    @objc optional func stackViewDidBeginReordering(_ stackView: SQReorderableStackView)
    
    /// Whenever a user drags a subview for a reordering, the delegate is told whether the direction
    /// was forward (left/down) or backward (right/up), as well as what the max and min X or Y values are of the subview
    @objc optional func stackView(_ stackView: SQReorderableStackView, didDragToReorderInForwardDirection forward: Bool, maxPoint: CGPoint, minPoint: CGPoint)
    
    /// didReorderArrangedSubviews - called when reordering ends only if the selected subview's index changed during reordering
    @objc optional func stackView(_ stackView: SQReorderableStackView, didReorderArrangedSubviews arrangedSubviews: Array<UIView>)
    
    /// didEndReordering - called when reordering ends
    @objc optional func stackViewDidEndReordering(_ stackView: SQReorderableStackView)
    
    /// called when reordering is cancelled
    @objc optional func stackViewDidCancelReordering(_ stackView: SQReorderableStackView)
    
    /// Tells the ReorderableStackView whether or not the pressed subview may be picked up.
    @objc optional func stackView(_ stackView: SQReorderableStackView, canReorderSubview subview: UIView, atIndex index: Int) -> Bool
    
    /// Tells the ReorderableStackView whether or not the held subview can take the spot at which is being held.
    @objc optional func stackView(_ stackView: SQReorderableStackView, shouldAllowSubview subview: UIView, toMoveToIndex index: Int) -> Bool

For example, an individual subview can be disallowed from being reordered or moved. To keep the stackView's third subview (index 2) from being picked up or replaced:

    func stackView(_ stackView: SQReorderableStackView, canReorderSubview subview: UIView, atIndex index: Int) -> Bool {
        if index == 2 {
            return false
        } else {
            return true
        }
    }

    func stackView(_ stackView: SQReorderableStackView, shouldAllowSubview subview: UIView, toMoveToIndex index: Int) -> Bool {
        if index == 2 {
            return false
        } else {
            return true
        }
    }

Also, the delegate can respond to a completed reordering action, such as updating values based on the new order:

    func stackViewDidReorderArrangedSubviews(_ stackView: SQReorderableStackView) {
                var text = ""
        for label in stackView.arrangedSubviews as! [UILabel] {
            text.append(label.text!)
            text.append(" ")
        }
        
        self.label.text = text
    }

NOTE: stackViewDidEndReordering(_:) will be called each time the user interaction ends whether or not the subviews were reordered. stackViewDidReorderArrangedSubviews(_:) will only be called if the order of the subviews was changed.
