README
NavKit
Simple and integrated way to customize navigation bar experience on iOS app. It should save our time that we usually use to make abstraction of navigation bar, back button, and so on.
Demo

Installation
Carthage
github "wilbertliu/NavKit"
CocoaPods
Add the following line into the Podfile
:
pod 'NavKit'
After that, run the following command :
$ pod install
Usage
Since the release of version 0.4
, NavKit has a huge redesign of its API. It makes the switch
of the mindset to the view controller's based navigation configuration, which means
we don't need additional layer to configure the navigation experience.
There are only 3 things to do in order to use NavKit :
- Conforms to protocol
CustomizableNavigation
andUIGestureRecognizerDelegate
. - Define the properties that we need to customize the navigation bar like
barBackgroundColor
,backImage
, etc. - Call
self.updateNavigation()
wherever in view controller to update the navigation bar based on the defined properties.
Global Style
There's a time when we want to make a general style because it would be used by most of the
screens. What we have to do is just make a protocol extension of CustomizableNavigation
and define the properties that we want to make as global. And of course, if you override
the properties on some controller, NavKit would use what's defined at controller instead.
Can we jump into some codes to show?
import Foundation
import NavKit
extension CustomizableNavigation where Self: UIViewController, Self: UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {
var titleColor: UIColor { return .red }
var titleFont: UIFont { return UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16, weight: UIFontWeightMedium) }
var backImage: UIImage? { return UIImage(named: "something") }
}
Example
Note that this section is taken from Example
project. Make sure to check it to add some knowledge on how to use NavKit.
import UIKit
import NavKit
class DetailViewController: UIViewController, CustomizableNavigation, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {
// MARK: - Navigation Config
var barBackgroundColor: UIColor = UIColor.blue.withAlphaComponent(0.5)
var backText: String? = "<-- Go back"
// MARK: - Life Cycles
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = .white
self.updateNavigation()
}
}
