Demo
If you want to implement night mode in Swift project without import Objective-C code. NightNight is the Swift version which does the same work.
How To Get Started
DKNightVersion supports multiple methods for installing the library in a project.
Installation with CocoaPods
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries like DKNightVersion in your projects. See the Get Started section for more details.
Podfile
To integrate DKNightVersion into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile
:
pod "DKNightVersion"
Then, run the following command:
$ pod install
Import
Import DKNightVersion header file
#import <DKNightVersion/DKNightVersion.h>
Usage
Checkout DKColorTable.txt
file in your project, which locates in Pods/DKNightVersion/Resources/DKNightVersion.txt
.
NORMAL NIGHT
#ffffff #343434 BG
#aaaaaa #313131 SEP
You can also create another colour table file, and specify it with DKColorTable.
A, set color picker like this with DKColorPickerWithKey
, which generates a DKColorPicker block
self.view.dk_backgroundColorPicker = DKColorPickerWithKey(BG);
After the current theme version change to DKThemeVersionNight
, the view background colour would switch to #343434
.
[DKNightVersionManager nightFalling];
Alternatively, you could change the theme version by manager's property themeVersion
which is a string
DKNightVersionManager *manager = [DKNightVersionManager sharedInstance];
manager.themeVersion = DKThemeVersionNormal;
Advanced Usage
There are two approaches you can use to integrate night mode to your iOS App.
DKNightVersionManager
The latest version for DKNightVersion add a readonly dk_manager
property for NSObject
returns the DKNightVersionManager
singleton.
Change Theme
You can call nightFalling
or dawnComing
to switch the current theme version to DKThemeVersionNight
or DKThemeVersionNormal
.
[self.dk_manager dawnComing];
[self.dk_manager nightFalling];
Modify themeVersion
property to switch the theme version directly.
self.dk_manager.themeVersion = DKThemeVersionNormal;
self.dk_manager.themeVersion = DKThemeVersionNight;
// if there is a RED column in DKColorTable.txt (default) or in
// other `file` if you customize `file` property for `DKColorTable`
self.dk_manager.themeVersion = @"RED";
Post Notification
Every time the current theme version changes, DKNightVersionManager
would post a DKNightVersionThemeChangingNotification
. If you want to do some customisation, you can observe this notification and react with proper actions.
DKColorPicker
DKColorPicker
is the core of DKNightVersion. And this lib adds dk_colorPicker to every UIKit and Core Animation components. Ex:
@property (nonatomic, copy, setter = dk_setBackgroundColorPicker:) DKColorPicker dk_backgroundColorPicker;
@property (nonatomic, copy, setter = dk_setTintColorPicker:) DKColorPicker dk_tintColorPicker;
DKColorPicker is defined in DKColor.h
file receives a DKThemeVersion
as the parameter and returns a UIColor
.
typedef UIColor *(^DKColorPicker)(DKThemeVersion *themeVersion);
Use
DKColorPickerWithKey(key)
to obtainDKColorPicker
fromDKColorTable
view.dk_backgroundColorPicker = DKColorPickerWithKey(BG);
Use
DKColorPickerWithRGB
to generate aDKColorPicker
view.dk_backgroundColorPicker = DKColorPickerWithRGB(0xffffff, 0x343434);
DKColorTable
DKColorTable
is a new feature in DKNightVersion which providing us with an elegant way to manage colour setting in a project. Use as follows:
There is a file called DKColorTable.txt
NORMAL NIGHT
#ffffff #343434 BG
#aaaaaa #313131 SEP
The first line of this file indicated different themes. NORMAL is required column, and others are optional. So if you don't need to integrate different themes in your app, leave the first column in this file, like this:
NORMAL
#ffffff BG
#aaaaaa SEP
NORMAL
and NIGHT
are two different themes, NORMAL
is the default and for normal mode. NIGHT
is optional and for night mode.
You can add multiple columns in this DKColorTable.txt
file as many as you want.
NORMAL NIGHT RED
#ffffff #343434 #ff0000 BG
#aaaaaa #313131 #ff0000 SEP
The last column is the key for a colour entry, DKNightVersion uses the current themeVersion
(ex: NORMAL
NIGHT
and RED
) and key (ex: BG
, SEP
) to find the corresponding colour in DKColorTable.
DKColorTable
has a property file
, it will loads the color setting in this file
when + [DKColorTable sharedColorTable
is called. Default value of file
is DKColorTable.txt
.
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *file;
You can also add another file into your project and fill your colour setting in that file.
// color.txt
NORMAL NIGHT
#ffffff #343434 BG
Also, do not forget to change the file
property of the colour table.
[DKColorTable sharedColorTable].file = @"color.txt"
The code above would reload colour setting from color.txt
file.
Create temporary DKColorPicker
If you'd want to create some temporary DKColorPicker, you can use these methods.
view.dk_backgroundColorPicker = DKColorPickerWithRGB(0xffffff, 0x343434);
DKColorPickerWithRGB
will return a DKColorPicker which set background color to #ffffff
when current theme version is DKThemeVersionNormal
and #343434
when it is DKThemeVersionNight
.
There are also some similar functions like DKColorPickerWithColors
DKColorPicker DKColorPickerWithRGB(NSUInteger normal, ...);
DKColorPicker DKColorPickerWithColors(UIColor *normalColor, ...);
DKColor
also provides a cluster of convenient API
which returns DKColorPicker
block, these blocks return the same colour in different themes.
+ (DKColorPicker)colorPickerWithUIColor:(UIColor *)color;
+ (DKColorPicker)colorPickerWithWhite:(CGFloat)white alpha:(CGFloat)alpha;
+ (DKColorPicker)colorPickerWithHue:(CGFloat)hue saturation:(CGFloat)saturation brightness:(CGFloat)brightness alpha:(CGFloat)alpha;
+ (DKColorPicker)colorPickerWithRed:(CGFloat)red green:(CGFloat)green blue:(CGFloat)blue alpha:(CGFloat)alpha;
+ (DKColorPicker)colorPickerWithCGColor:(CGColorRef)cgColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)colorPickerWithPatternImage:(UIImage *)image;
#if __has_include(<CoreImage/CoreImage.h>)
+ (DKColorPicker)colorPickerWithCIColor:(CIColor *)ciColor NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(5_0);
#endif
+ (DKColorPicker)blackColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)darkGrayColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)lightGrayColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)whiteColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)grayColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)redColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)greenColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)blueColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)cyanColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)yellowColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)magentaColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)orangeColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)purpleColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)brownColor;
+ (DKColorPicker)clearColor;
pickerify
DKNightVersion provides a powerful feature which can generate dk_xxxColorPicker with a macro called pickerify
.
@pickerify(TableViewCell, cellTintColor)
It automatically generates dk_cellTintColorPicker
for you.
DKImagePicker
Use DKImagePicker
to change images when manager.themeVersion
changes.
imageView.dk_imagePicker = DKImagePickerWithNames(@"normal", @"night");
The first argument passed into the function is used for NORMAL
theme, and the second is used for NIGHT
theme, the themes order is determined by the configuration in
DKColorTable.txt file which is NORMAL and NIGHT.
If your file like this:
NORMAL NIGHT RED
#ffffff #343434 #fafafa BG
#aaaaaa #313131 #aaaaaa SEP
#0000ff #ffffff #fa0000 TINT
#000000 #ffffff #000000 TEXT
#ffffff #444444 #ffffff BAR
Set your image picker in this order:
imageView.dk_imagePicker = DKImagePickerWithNames(@"normal", @"night", @"red");
The order of images or names is the same in DKColorTable.txt file.
DKImagePicker DKImagePickerWithImages(UIImage *normalImage, ...);
DKImagePicker DKImagePickerWithNames(NSString *normalName, ...);
