EMPartialModalViewController

Presents modal view controllers in style, while the height is under your control!

EMPartialModalViewController is a UIViewController subclass which takes a root view controller and present it modally. The height of presented view control is completely controllable.

Usage

Before using the view controller to show your modals it is necessary to set View controller-based status bar appearance in the Info.plist of application YES. It is needed to change the status bar style when modal view controller is about to show.

Then just initialise an instance of EMPartialModalViewController with a root view controller which would be the content of your modal.

There is two way to initialise:

1. Specify the height directly
init(rootViewController: UIViewController, contentHeight: CGFloat)

This way the root view controller will be shown with the given height.

let content: UIViewController  = <…>
let partialModal: EMPartialModalViewController = EMPartialModalViewController(rootViewController: content, contentHeight: <desirable_size>)

2. Let’s present the view controller with its own height
init(rootViewController: UIViewController)

This way the root view controller will be shown with the height that its view already has.

let content: UIViewController = <…>
var frame: CGRect = content.view.frame
frame.size.height = 200
content.view.frame = frame
…
let partialModal: EMPartialModalViewController = EMPartialModalViewController(rootViewController: content)

When you are done with the initialising the modal view controller the only thing should be done is presenting. So, just present that as you do normaly:

presentViewController(partialModal, animated: true, completion: nil)

In addition, you can set the property of contentViewMaxHeight to indicate the maximum height that the content could have. By default, it has been set 402.

Install

Simply add it as a submodule then import EMPartialModalViewController folder into your Xcode project.

git submodule add https://github.com/codeisjoy/EMPartialModalViewController.git <your lib directory>

Known issues

It is not suitable for iPad. Showing modals in iPad should be completely different.
It does not support rotation. If rotation happen it may have strange and unpredictable behaviour. So, at the moment just lock your app to support portrait mode only.
You can not set false for animated when you are about to presenting view controller. This causes app crash.
```
  presentViewController(partialModal, animated: false, completion: nil)
```
