Installation

CocoaPods

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

Swift 3.0

pod 'BetterSegmentedControl', '~> 0.5'

Swift 2.x

pod 'BetterSegmentedControl', '0.4'

Carthage

If you prefer using Carthage, simply add BetterSegmentedControl to your Cartfile:

Swift 3.0

github "gmarm/BetterSegmentedControl" ~> 0.5

Swift 2.x

github "gmarm/BetterSegmentedControl" 0.4

Manually

If you prefer not to use CocoaPods or Carthage, you can integrate BetterSegmentedControl into your project manually.

Usage

let control = BetterSegmentedControl(
    frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 100.0, width: view.bounds.width, height: 44.0),
    titles: ["One", "Two", "Three"],
    index: 1,
    backgroundColor: UIColor(red:0.11, green:0.12, blue:0.13, alpha:1.00),
    titleColor: .white,
    indicatorViewBackgroundColor: UIColor(red:0.55, green:0.26, blue:0.86, alpha:1.00),
    selectedTitleColor: .black)
control.titleFont = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue", size: 14.0)!
control.selectedTitleFont = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Medium", size: 14.0)!
control.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.controlValueChanged(_:)), for: .valueChanged)
view.addSubview(control)

You can find different ways of using it (such as by designing it in a Storyboard file) in the example project. To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Todos

  • Make initializer throwing if not enough titles are passed.
  • Set titles via method that throws.
  • Allow the control to have no selected index.
  • Allow UIViews that implement a protocol to be used as options.
  • Add moar tests!
  • Try to take over the world! Uh, what?
