MDCSwipeToChoose

Swipe to "like" or "dislike" any view, just like Tinder.app. Build a flashcard app, a photo viewer, and more, in minutes, not hours!

Use UIView+MDCSwipeToChoose to add a swipe gesture and callbacks to any UIView.
Use MDCSwipeToChooseView to get a UI nearly identical to Tinder.app in just a few lines of code.

How to Install via CocoaPods

Place the following in your Podfile and run pod install:

pod "MDCSwipeToChoose"

How to Use

Check out the sample app for an example of how to use MDCSwipeToChooseView to build the UI in the GIF above.

NOTE: You must run pod install in the Examples/LikedOrNope directory before building the example app.

Every public class contains documentation in its header file.

Swiping Yes/No

The following is an example of how you can use MDCSwipeToChooseView to display a photo. The user can choose to delete it by swiping left, or save it by swiping right.

#import <MDCSwipeToChoose/MDCSwipeToChoose.h>

// ... in a view controller

#pragma mark - Creating and Customizing a MDCSwipeToChooseView

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // You can customize MDCSwipeToChooseView using MDCSwipeToChooseViewOptions.
    MDCSwipeToChooseViewOptions *options = [MDCSwipeToChooseViewOptions new];
    options.delegate = self;
    options.likedText = @"Keep";
    options.likedColor = [UIColor blueColor];
    options.nopeText = @"Delete";
    options.onPan = ^(MDCPanState *state){
        if (state.thresholdRatio == 1.f && state.direction == MDCSwipeDirectionLeft) {
            NSLog(@"Let go now to delete the photo!");
        }
    };

    MDCSwipeToChooseView *view = [[MDCSwipeToChooseView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds
                                                                     options:options];
    view.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"photo"];
    [self.view addSubview:view];
}

#pragma mark - MDCSwipeToChooseDelegate Callbacks

// This is called when a user didn't fully swipe left or right.
- (void)viewDidCancelSwipe:(UIView *)view {
    NSLog(@"Couldn't decide, huh?");
}

// This is called then a user swipes the view fully left or right.
- (void)view:(UIView *)view wasChosenWithDirection:(MDCSwipeDirection)direction {
    if (direction == MDCSwipeDirectionLeft) {
        NSLog(@"Photo deleted!");
    } else {
        NSLog(@"Photo saved!");
    }
}

As of version 0.2.0, you may also swipe a view programmatically:

[self.swipeToChooseView mdc_swipe:MDCSwipeDirectionLeft];

More Generic Swiping

You don't have to use a subclass of MDCChooseView. You can use the mdc_swipeToChooseSetup: method on any UIView to enable swipe-to-choose.

In the following example, we adjust the opacity of a UIWebView when it's panned left and right.

#import <MDCSwipeToChoose/MDCSwipeToChoose.h>

// ... in a view controller

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    MDCSwipeOptions *options = [MDCSwipeOptions new];
    options.delegate = self;
    options.onPan = ^(MDCPanState *state){
        switch (state.direction) {
            case MDCSwipeDirectionLeft:
                self.webView.alpha = 0.5f - state.thresholdRatio;
                break;
            case MDCSwipeDirectionRight:
                self.webView.alpha = 0.5f + state.thresholdRatio;
                break;
            case MDCSwipeDirectionNone:
                self.webView.alpha = 0.5f;
                break;
        }
    };
    [self.webView mdc_swipeToChooseSetup:options];
}
