ESTabBarController

SwiftPM compatible Carthage Compatible CocoaPods Swift v5 Twitter Twitter Chat Gitter.im

ESTabBarController is a highly customizable TabBarController component, which is inherited from UITabBarController.

Why?

In real-world development, we may encounter the situation of customizing the UITabBar. For instance: change font style, add animation, and use bigger items. However it's hard to do with UITabBarItem.

With ESTabBarController, You can easily achieve these!

- Feature Description
1 Default style You can get a system-like style by initializing the TabBar with ESTabBarController directly.

UITabBarController style:

System native style

ESTabBarController default style:

ES system-like style
2 Default style with "More" item If the items are more than the maximum number of displays, there will be a "More" item.

UITabBarController with "More":

3 Mix UITabBarItem and ESTabBarItem You can set any item as you want, including UITabBarItem and ESTabBarItem.

4 UIKit attributes ESTabBarController is compatible with UITabBarController, UITabBar and UITabBarItem's most API attributes. You can migrate to ESTabBarController without any modification of the origin code.

Compatible with UITabBarController's selectedIndex:

5 Any nesting with UINavigationController Developing withUITabBarController, there are two common ways to handle layers:

First :

├── UITabBarController

└──── UINavigationController

└────── UIViewController

└──────── SubviewControllers

Second :

├── UINavigationController

└──── UITabBarController

└────── UIViewController

└──────── SubviewControllers

In the first case, need to set hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = true when pushing subViews. The second is not.

In ESTabBarController, add Container views to UITabBar to be compatible with these two ways。

1. Customize selected item's color and style:

Customizable click event
You can easily customize item's size using ESTabBarController.

When the button's frame is larger than TabBar, HitTest makes the outer TabBar area click valid.

In addition, ESTabBarController can customize click event, and through a block to callback super-layer to handle.

TODO

  1. The Containers' layout is purely based on code,using Autolayout will be better.
  2. When there is "More," if edited, problems occur.
  3. Partial UITabBarItem attributes are not bridge to ESTabBarItem.
  4. The picture of 'More' item in ESTabBarItemMoreContentView is not set into framework, plan to convert it to CGBitmap.
