Code Implementation

Your main menu view controller will look like this:

import SideMenu

class MenuViewController: UITabBarController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
        let Menu = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SideMenuNavigation") as? SideMenuNavigationController
        Menu?.leftSide = true
        Menu?.settings = makeSettings()
        SideMenuManager.default.leftMenuNavigationController = Menu
        SideMenuManager.default.addPanGestureToPresent(toView: view)
        SideMenuManager.default.addScreenEdgePanGesturesToPresent(toView: view)
    }
    
    override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
        guard let sideMenuNavigationController = segue.destination as? SideMenuNavigationController else { return }
        sideMenuNavigationController.leftSide = true
        sideMenuNavigationController.settings = makeSettings()
    }
    
    private func makeSettings() -> SideMenuSettings {
        let presentationStyle = SideMenuPresentationStyle.menuSlideIn
        presentationStyle.backgroundColor = .gray
        presentationStyle.presentingEndAlpha = 0.5
        var settings = SideMenuSettings()
        settings.presentationStyle = presentationStyle
        return settings
    }

}
