check Documentation and More Options for more details.

Example Project

To try the example project, simply download this repo then open NotchToolkit-Example.xcworkspace project file, found in the Example folder.

Installation

CocoaPods

  1. Download CocoaPods using this command in Terminal
$ sudo gem install cocoapods
  1. Redirect to your project folder in Terminal
$ cd YOUR_PROJECT_FILE_PATH
  1. Initialize a pod in Terminal
$ pod init
  1. Open Podfile in a text editor and add this line
pod 'NotchToolkit'
  1. Go back to Terminal and install the pod
$ pod install

Carthage

  1. Add this line to the Cartfile in your project directory
github "AFathi/NotchToolkit"
  1. Update your Carthage directory
$ carthage update

Manual

Drag the NotchToolkit.xcodeproj file into your project then add NotchToolkit as an embedded binary of your targets.

Implement in your project

  1. import NotchToolkit in a UIViewController class
  2. Add NotchToolbarDelegate in the delegate section
class ViewController: UIViewController, NotchToolbarDelegate
  1. Add delegate methods
//A protocol method that's triggered when the device rotates.
func deviceDidRotate() {
}

//A protocol method that's triggered when an icon is selected.
func didTapToolIcon(_ tools: UICollectionView, toolIndex: IndexPath, section: Int, row: Int) {
}
  1. Create a NotchToolbar global variable
let toolbar = NotchToolbar()
  1. Configure and initialize toolbar in viewDidLoad
toolbar.notch.isVisible = true

toolbar.notch.height = 250

toolbar.toolList = [
//[icon image, title]
[UIImage(named:"pikachusquare")!, "Pikachu"],
//only image icons
UIImage(named:"spongebob")!,
//only string icons (mainly for emojis πŸ˜‰)
"πŸ€”", "πŸ€“",
"πŸ“±", "πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»",
"πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»", "βœ…", "πŸ”₯"]

toolbar.delegate = self
toolbar.initializeToolbar(self)
  1. Call autoResize() method in the deviceDidRotate delegate method
func deviceDidRotate() {
toolbar.autoResize()
}

You're all set! πŸ€“

Show and Hide toolbar

showOrHide()

This method allows you to show and hide the NotchToolbar. You can call this method in an IBAction that handles showing/hiding the toolbar.

@IBAction func buttonClicked(_ sender: UIButton) {
toolbar.showOrHide()
}

Handle Icon Selection

  1. Make sure you set the NotchToolbar delegate to self.
  2. Handle the icon selection in the didTapToolIcon delegate method:
func didTapToolIcon(_ tools: UICollectionView, toolIndex: IndexPath, section: Int, row: Int) {
if row == 0 {
print("first icon")
}else if row == 1 {
print("second icon")
}
}

More Options

This framework include a UIView extension that allow you draw a notch bezier path to any UIView class or subclass.

draw(_ notch:curveType, position:curvePosition, curve:CGFloat?, customBounds:CGRect? = nil)

This is a UIView extension that allows you add ovals and rounded corners to any UIView.

  • For type oval, set curve scale from 1.0 - 10.0.
  • For type corner, curve is the radius size.
  • Check curveType & curvePosition for more info.

Example

//horizontalSides draws an oval-based bezier path vertically on the right & left sides of a view.
myView.draw(.oval, position: .horizontalSides, curve: 1.5)

//diagonalAC draws rounded rectangle corners diagonally from topLeft to bottomRight of a view.
myView.draw(.corner, position: .diagonalAC, curve: 35)
