GitHub - jmpg93/NavigatorSwift: Navigation made it easy (original) (raw)

NavigatorSwift is a framework to easily navigate between your views.

How does it work

Create a navigator

// NavigationController container based navigator let navigator = NavNavigator(window: UIWindow())

// TabBarController container based navigator let navigator = TabNavigator(window: UIWindow())

// Custom container based navigator let navigator = ContainerNavigator(window: UIWindow())

The navigator is the main entry point. It's the one you told were you want go and how.

Create a Scene and register it

extension SceneName { static let login: SceneName = "Login" }

class LoginScene: SceneHandler { var name: SceneName { return .login }

func view(with parameters: Parameters) -> UIViewController {
    let vc = UIViewController()
    vc.view.backgroundColor = .red
    return vc
}

// Optional
func reload(_ viewController: UIViewController, parameters: Parameters) {
    // Do nothing by default
}

// Optional
var isReloadable: Bool {
    return true
}

}

navigator.register(LoginScene())

Set root scene and navigate!

navigator.root(.login) navigator.push(.someScene)

The root scene is the one which it's going to be set as rootViewController of the UIWindow.

Features

navigator.present(.login)

navigator.presentNavigation(.someScene)

navigator.dismiss(.someScene)

navigator.push(.someScene)

navigator.reload(.someScene)

Calls the method reload from the scene handler.

navigator.preview(.someScene, from: someViewController, at: someSourceView)

navigator.popover(.someScene, from: somView)

navigator.transition(to: .someScene, with: someInteractiveTransition)

let loginView = navigator.view(for: .login)

navigator.traverse { state in if state.names.contains(.collection) { // Do something } }

navigator.build { builder in builder.modal(.contact) builder.modalNavigation(.detail) // Modal presentation with a navigation controller. builder.push(.avatar) }

If you use relative navigation, you can add new scenes over the current hierarchy.

navigator.build { builder in builder.root(name: .home) builder.modalNavigation(.login) }

If you use absolute navigation, the hierarchy will be rebuilded from root. If the current hierarchy match the targeted hierarchy, the view controllers will be recycled and reloaded.

Use absolute navigation to show a certain hierarchy no matter what is the current state.

For more complex navigation you can create and concatenate operations that will be executed serially. This can be easyly archived by creating a new SceneOperation and extending the Navigator protocol.

class SomeOperation { fileprivate var scenes: [Scene] fileprivate let renderer: SceneRenderer

init(scenes: [Scene], renderer: SceneRenderer) {
    self.scenes = scenes
    self.renderer = renderer
}

}

extension SomeOperation: SceneOperation { func execute(with completion: CompletionBlock?) { let dismissAllOperation = renderer.dismissAll(animated: true) let addScenes = renderer.add(scenes: scenes) let reloadLast = renderer.reload(scene: scenes.last!)

    let complexOperation = dismissAllOperation
        .then(addScenes)
        .then(reloadLast)
        .execute(with: completion)
}

}

By implementing the protocol SceneOperationInterceptor you can intercept all the operations being executed by the navigator. This protocol allows you to change the behavior of the navigator in some cases.

For example for displaying the contacts persmissions alert just before presenting some edit contact view:

class ContactsPermissionsInterceptor: SceneOperationInterceptor { func operation(with operation: SceneOperation, context: SceneOperationContext) -> SceneOperation? { return ShowContactPermissionsIfNeededSceneOperation().then(operation) }

func shouldIntercept(operation: SceneOperation, context: SceneOperationContext) -> Bool {
    return context.targetState.names.contains(.editContact)
}

}

If you want to stop the execution of the operation, you must return nil on operation(with:context:)

To start intercepting, a registration of the interceptor is needed.

navigator.register(ContactsPermissionsInterceptor())
