Documentation

Documentation is automatically generated from source code comments and rendered as a static website hosted via GitHub Pages at: https://yml-org.github.io/ysidemenu-ios/

Usage

To use YSideMenu in your app, you need to create an instance of SideMenuController, passing a child view controller as a parameter. Here is an example of how to create and present a side menu:

import YSideMenu

let sideMenuController = SideMenuController(rootViewController: contentViewController)
present(sideMenuController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Customization

SideMenuController has an appearance property of type Appearance.

Appearance lets you customize how the side menu both appears and behaves. You can customize:

let contentViewController = ContentViewController()
let sideMenuController = SideMenuController(rootViewController: menuViewController)
sideMenuController.appearance = .init(
    dimmerColor: UIColor.black.withAlphaComponent(0.5),
    idealWidthPercentage: 0.75,
    maximumWidth: 300,
    isDismissAllowed: true
)

appearance.presentAnimation = Animation(
    duration: 0.4, 
    curve: .spring(damping: 0.6, velocity: 0.4)
)

// Present the menu with a spring animation.
present(sheet, animated: true)

You can customize the appearance of the side menu by setting the appearance property of the SideMenuController. The Appearance struct contains the following properties:

dimmerColor: the color of the dimmer view that is displayed behind the side menu (default is black with an alpha of 0.3). idealWidthPercentage: the ideal width of the side menu as a percentage of the width of the screen (default is 0.75). maximumWidth: the maximum width of the side menu in points (default is 300). isDismissAllowed: a Boolean value that indicates whether the user can dismiss the side menu by tapping outside of it or by swiping it to the left (default is true). presentAnimation: present animation dismissAnimation: dismiss animation

Requirements

SwiftLint (linter)

brew install swiftlint

Jazzy (documentation)

sudo gem install jazzy

Setup

Clone the repo and open Package.swift in Xcode.

Versioning strategy

We utilize semantic versioning.

{major}.{minor}.{patch}

e.g.

1.0.5

Branching strategy

We utilize a simplified branching strategy for our frameworks.

• main (and development) branch is main
• both feature (and bugfix) branches branch off of main
• feature (and bugfix) branches are merged back into main as they are completed and approved.
• main gets tagged with an updated version # for each release

Branch naming conventions:

feature/{ticket-number}-{short-description}
bugfix/{ticket-number}-{short-description}

e.g.

feature/CM-44-button
bugfix/CM-236-textview-color

Pull Requests

Prior to submitting a pull request you should:

1. Compile and ensure there are no warnings and no errors.
2. Run all unit tests and confirm that everything passes.
3. Check unit test coverage and confirm that all new / modified code is fully covered.
4. Run swiftlint from the command line and confirm that there are no violations.
5. Run jazzy from the command line and confirm that you have 100% documentation coverage.
6. Consider using git rebase -i HEAD~{commit-count} to squash your last {commit-count} commits together into functional chunks.
7. If HEAD of the parent branch (typically main) has been updated since you created your branch, use git rebase main to rebase your branch.
   • Never merge the parent branch into your branch.
   • Always rebase your branch off of the parent branch.

When submitting a pull request:

• Use the provided pull request template and populate the Introduction, Purpose, and Scope fields at a minimum.
• If you're submitting before and after screenshots, movies, or GIF's, enter them in a two-column table so that they can be viewed side-by-side.

When merging a pull request:

• Make sure the branch is rebased (not merged) off of the latest HEAD from the parent branch. This keeps our git history easy to read and understand.
• Make sure the branch is deleted upon merge (should be automatic).

Releasing new versions

• Tag the corresponding commit with the new version (e.g. 1.0.5)
• Push the local tag to remote

Generating Documentation (via Jazzy)

You can generate your own local set of documentation directly from the source code using the following command from Terminal:

jazzy

This generates a set of documentation under /docs. The default configuration is set in the default config file .jazzy.yaml file.

To view additional documentation options type:

jazzy --help

A GitHub Action automatically runs each time a commit is pushed to main that runs Jazzy to generate the documentation for our GitHub page at: https://yml-org.github.io/ysidemenu-ios/
