mathewa6 / NativeMenu

A simple emulation of the "Wishlist" modal list in the App Store on iOS, but for a menu.

NativeMenu

In trying to help a friend create a Menu structure using only Native iOS View Controllers, I tried to recreate the behaviour of the WishList in the iOS App Store app.

Setup

From Storyboards, it's simple. Simply insert a VC, set it's class to MenuViewController. Embed it in a UINavigationController and then, set a segue from your VC to the UINavigationController.

Programmatically, you can do the same. I've just set the Storyboard Identifier for the segue to the UINavigationController and then dropped this in.

    func showMenu(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
        let controller = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MenuNavigation")
        controller?.modalPresentationStyle = .FullScreen
        controller?.modalTransitionStyle = .CoverVertical
        self.navigationController?.presentViewController(controller!, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        let menuButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Menu",
                                         style: .Plain,
                                         target: self,
                                         action: #selector(showMenu(_:)))
        self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = menuButton
    }

Note

The project's name does not match the Repository's because it started out as a ... ModalTest.
