Pageboy: A Swift repository from gulabry

TL;DR UIPageViewController done properly.

Pageboy is a simple, highly informative page view controller.

Features

Simplified data source management.
Enhanced delegation; featuring exact relative positional data and reliable updates.
Infinite scrolling support.
Automatic timer-based page transitioning.

Installation

CocoaPods

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

pod 'Pageboy'

And run pod install.

Carthage

Pageboy is available through Carthage. Simply install carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

Add Pageboy to your Cartfile:

github "uias/Pageboy"

Requirements

Pageboy requires iOS 9.0 or above.

Usage

Getting Started

Create an instance of a PageboyViewController and provide it with a PageboyViewControllerDataSource.

class PageViewController: PageboyViewController, PageboyViewControllerDataSource {

	override func viewDidLoad() {
		super.viewDidLoad()

		self.dataSource = self
	}
}

Implement the PageboyViewControllerDataSource functions.

func viewControllers(forPageboyViewController pageboyViewController: PageboyViewController) -> [UIViewController]? {
	// return array of view controllers
	return [viewController1, viewController2]
}

func defaultPageIndex(forPageboyViewController pageboyViewController: PageboyViewController) -> PageboyViewController.PageIndex? {
	// use default index
	return nil
}

Enjoy.

Delegation

UIPageViewController doesn't provide the most useful delegate methods for detecting where you are when paging; this is where Pageboy comes in. PageboyViewControllerDelegate provides a number of functions for being able to detect where the page view controller is, and where it's headed.

willScrollToPageAtIndex

Called when the page view controller is about to embark on a transition to a new page.

func pageboyViewController(_ pageboyViewController: PageboyViewController,
                               willScrollToPageAtIndex index: Int,
                               direction: PageboyViewController.NavigationDirection,
                               animated: Bool)

didScrollToPosition

Called when the page view controller was scrolled to a relative position along the way transitioning to a new page. Also provided is the direction of the transition.

func pageboyViewController(_ pageboyViewController: PageboyViewController,
                               didScrollToPosition position: CGPoint,
                               direction: PageboyViewController.NavigationDirection)

didScrollToPage

Called when the page view controller did successfully complete a scroll transition to a page.

func pageboyViewController(_ pageboyViewController: PageboyViewController,
                               didScrollToPageAtIndex index: Int,
                               direction: PageboyViewController.NavigationDirection,
                               animated: Bool)

Additional functionality

Functions

reloadPages - Reload the view controllers in the page view controller. (Refreshes the data source).
```
 public func reloadPages()
```

scrollToPage - Scroll the page view controller to a new page programatically.

 public func scrollToPage(_ pageIndex: PageIndex,
                          animated: Bool,
                          completion: PageTransitionCompletion? = nil)

Properties

isInfiniteScrollEnabled: Bool - Whether the page view controller should infinitely scroll between page limits (i.e. able to continuously scroll to first page from last).
navigationOrientation: UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientation - The orientation that the page view controller transitions on.
viewControllers: [UIViewController]? - The view controllers that are displayed in the page view controller.
currentViewController: UIViewController? - The view controller that the page view controller is currently at.
currentIndex: Int? - The page index that the page view controller is currently at.
currentPosition: CGPoint? - The relative page position that the page view controller is currently at.
autoScroller: PageboyAutoScroller - Object that can be used for adding time-based auto scrolling behaviour.

Interaction State

isScrollEnabled: Bool - Whether scroll is enabled on the page view controller.
isDragging: Bool - Whether the page view controller is currently being dragged.
isScrollingAnimated: Bool - Whether the page view controller is currently animating a scroll between pages.
isUserInteractionEnabled: Bool - Whether user interaction is enabled on the page view controller.

Types

Enums

PageIndex - The index of a page in the page view controller.
- next - The next page if available. (n+1)
- previous - The previous page if available. (n-1)
- first - The first page in the view controller array.
- last - The last page in the view controller array.
- atIndex(index: Int) - A custom specified index.
NavigationDirection - The direction that the page view controller travelled.
- neutral - No movement
- forward - Moved in a positive direction (Towards n+1).
- reverse - Moved in a negative direction (Towards n-1).
