Presentr is a simple customizable wrapper for the Custom View Controller Presentation API introduced in iOS 8.
iOS let's you modally present any view controller, but if you want the presented view controller to not cover the whole screen or modify anything about its presentation or transition you have to use the Custom View Controller Presentation API's.
This can be cumbersome, specially if you do it multiple times in your app. Presentr simplifies all of this. You just have to configure Presentr depending on how you want you view controller to be presented, and the framework handles everything for you.
These are just examples of an Alert UI presented in multiple ways. But, with Presentr you can present any custom View Controller you create in any of the Presentation types, or create your own custom one!

It is important to hold on to the Presentr object as a property on the presenting/current View Controller since internally it will be used as a delegate for the custom presentation, so you must hold a strong reference to it.
class ViewController: UIViewController{
let presenter: Presentr = {
let presenter = Presentr(presentationType: .alert)
presenter.transitionType = .coverHorizontalFromRight // Optional
return presenter
}()
}
Instantiate the View Controller you want to present. Remember to setup autolayout on it so it can be displayed well on any size.
let controller = SomeViewController()
customPresentViewController(presenter, viewController: controller, animated: true, completion: nil)
This is a helper method provided for you as an extension on UIViewController. It handles setting the Presentr object as the delegate for the presentation & transition.
The PresentationType (and all other properties) can be changed later on in order to reuse the Presentr object for other presentations.
presenter.presentationType = .popup
public enum PresentationType {
case alert
case popup
case topHalf
case bottomHalf
case fullScreen
case custom(width: ModalSize, height: ModalSize, center: ModalCenterPosition)
}
public enum TransitionType{
// System provided
case coverVertical
case crossDissolve
case flipHorizontal
// Custom
case coverVerticalFromTop
case coverHorizontalFromRight
case coverHorizontalFromLeft
}
You can choose a TransitionType, which is the animation that will be used to present or dismiss the view controller.
presenter.transitionType = .coverVerticalFromTop
presenter.dismissTransitionType = .coverVertical
You can change the background color & opacity for the background view that will be displayed below the presented view controller. Default is black with 0.7 opacity.
presenter.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
presenter.backgroundOpacity = 1.0
You could also turn on the blur effect for the background, and change it's style. Default is false for the blur effect, and .Dark for the style. If you turn on the blur effect the background color and opacity will be ignored.
presenter.blurBackground = true
presenter.blurStyle = UIBlurEffectStyle.light
You can choose to disable rounded corners on the view controller that will be presented. Default is true.
presenter.roundCorners = false
You can also set the cornerRadius if you set roundCorners to true.
presenter.cornerRadius = 10
Using the PresentrShadow struct can set a custom shadow on the presented view controller.
let shadow = PresentrShadow()
shadow.shadowColor = .black
shadow.shadowOpacity = 0.5
shadow.shadowOffset = CGSize(5,5)
shadow.shadowRadius = 4.0
presenter.dropShadow = shadow
You can choose to disable dismissOnTap that dismisses the presented view controller on tapping the background. Default is true. Or you can disable the animation for the dismissOnTap.
presenter.dismissOnTap = false
presenter.dismissAnimated = false
You can activate dismissOnSwipe so that swiping up inside the presented view controller dismisses it. Default is false. If your view controller uses any kind of scroll view this is not recommended as it will mess with the scrolling.
presenter.dismissOnSwipe = true
If you have text fields inside your modal, you can use a KeyboardTranslationType to tell Presentr how to handle your modal when the keyboard shows up.
presenter.keyboardTranslationType = .none
presenter.keyboardTranslationType = .moveUp
presenter.keyboardTranslationType = .compress
presenter.keyboardTranslationType = .stickToTop
You can conform to the PresentrDelegate protocol in your presented view controller if you want to get a callback. Using this method you can prevent the view controller from being dismissed when the background is tapped and/or perform something before it's dismissed.
func presentrShouldDismiss(keyboardShowing: Bool) -> Bool { }
If you need to present a controller in a way that is not handled by the 4 included presentation types you can create your own. You create a custom PresentationType using the .Custom case on the PresentationType enum.
let customType = PresentationType.custom(width: width, height: height, center: center)
It has three associated values for the width, height and center position of the presented controller. For setting them we use two other enums.
// This is used to calculate either a width or height value.
public enum ModalSize {
case default
case half
case full
case custom(size: Float)
case fluid(percentage: Float)
}
// This is used to calculate the center point position for the modal.
public enum ModalCenterPosition {
case center
case topCenter
case bottomCenter
case custom(centerPoint: CGPoint) // Custom fixed center point.
case customOrigin(origin: CGPoint) // Custom fixed origin point.
}
This allows us to use a fixed value when we want
let width = ModalSize.custom(size: 300) // Custom 300pt width
But also let Presentr handle the calculations when we want something more common.
let height = ModalSize.full // Whole screen height
We could also set a fixed position
let position = ModalCenterPosition.custom(centerPoint: CGPoint(x: 150, y: 150)) // Custom center point
Or let presentr calculate the position
let position = ModalCenterPosition.center // Center of the screen
So we can mix and match, and have the benefit of a custom PresentationType but still have Presentr calculating the values we don't want to do ourselves. The following code creates a Presentr object with a custom PresentationType which shows the alert in a small top banner.
class ViewController: UIViewController{
let customPresenter: Presentr = {
let width = ModalSize.full
let height = ModalSize.custom(size: 150)
let center = ModalCenterPosition.customOrigin(origin: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0))
let customType = PresentationType.custom(width: width, height: height, center: center)
let customPresenter = Presentr(presentationType: customType)
customPresenter.transitionType = .coverVerticalFromTop
customPresenter.roundCorners = false
return customPresenter
}()
}
Presentr also comes with a cool AlertViewController baked in if you want something different from Apple's. The API is very similar to Apple's alert controller.
let title = "Are you sure?"
let body = "There is no way to go back after you do this!"
let controller = Presentr.alertViewController(title: title, body: body)
let deleteAction = AlertAction(title: "Sure 🕶", style: .destructive) {
print("Deleted!")
}
let okAction = AlertAction(title: "NO, sorry 🙄", style: .cancel){
print("Ok!")
}
controller.addAction(deleteAction)
controller.addAction(okAction)
presenter.presentationType = .alert
customPresentViewController(presenter, viewController: controller, animated: true, completion: nil)
