SwiftOverlays

SwiftOverlays is a Swift GUI library for displaying various popups and notifications.

Features

Currently SwiftOverlays provides 5 ways to notify user:

Wait overlay: a simple overlay with activity indicator

Wait overlay with text

Overlay with text only
Overlay with image and text (can be used with PPSwiftGifs to show custom animated GIF instead of UIActivityIndicatorView)
Notification on top of the status bar, similar to native iOS local/push notifications

Installation

Just add SwiftOverlays.swift to your project.

Requirements

iOS 7.0+
Xcode 6.1

Usage

You can use UIViewController convenience methods provided by library:

// In your view controller:

self.showWaitOverlay()
// (Wait overlay)

let text = "Please wait..."
self.showWaitOverlayWithText(text)
// (Wait overlay with text)

let text = "This is a text-only overlay...\n...spanning several lines"
self.showTextOverlay(text)
// (Overlay with text only)

UIViewController.showNotificationOnTopOfStatusBar(annoyingNotificationView!, duration: 5)
