## Requirements



FloatingPanel is written in Swift 5.0+ and compatible with iOS 11.0+. 



## Installation



### CocoaPods



FloatingPanel is available through [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org). To install

it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:



```ruby

pod 'FloatingPanel'

```



### Carthage



For [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage), add the following to your `Cartfile`:



```ogdl

github "scenee/FloatingPanel"

```



### Swift Package Manager



Follow [this doc](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift_packages/adding_package_dependencies_to_your_app).



## Getting Started



### Add a floating panel as a child view controller



```swift

import UIKit

import FloatingPanel



class ViewController: UIViewController, FloatingPanelControllerDelegate {

    var fpc: FloatingPanelController!



    override func viewDidLoad() {

        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Initialize a `FloatingPanelController` object.

        fpc = FloatingPanelController()



        // Assign self as the delegate of the controller.

        fpc.delegate = self // Optional



        // Set a content view controller.

        let contentVC = ContentViewController()

        fpc.set(contentViewController: contentVC)



        // Track a scroll view(or the siblings) in the content view controller.

        fpc.track(scrollView: contentVC.tableView)



        // Add and show the views managed by the `FloatingPanelController` object to self.view.

        fpc.addPanel(toParent: self)

    }

}

```



### Present a floating panel as a modality



```swift

let fpc = FloatingPanelController()

let contentVC = ...

fpc.set(contentViewController: contentVC)



fpc.isRemovalInteractionEnabled = true // Optional: Let it removable by a swipe-down



self.present(fpc, animated: true, completion: nil)

```



You can show a floating panel over UINavigationController from the container view controllers as a modality of `.overCurrentContext` style.



> [!NOTE]

> FloatingPanelController has the custom presentation controller. If you would like to customize the presentation/dismissal, please see [Transitioning](https://github.com/SCENEE/FloatingPanel/blob/master/Sources/Transitioning.swift).



## View hierarchy



`FloatingPanelController` manages the views as the following view hierarchy.



```

FloatingPanelController.view (FloatingPanelPassThroughView)

 ├─ .backdropView (FloatingPanelBackdropView)

 └─ .surfaceView (FloatingPanelSurfaceView)

    ├─ .containerView (UIView)

    │  └─ .contentView (FloatingPanelController.contentViewController.view)

    └─ .grabber (FloatingPanelGrabberView)

```



## Usage



### Show/Hide a floating panel in a view with your view hierarchy



If you need more control over showing and hiding the floating panel, you can forgo the `addPanel` and `removePanelFromParent` methods. These methods are a convenience wrapper for **FloatingPanel**'s `show` and `hide` methods along with some required setup.



There are two ways to work with the `FloatingPanelController`:

1. Add it to the hierarchy once and then call `show` and `hide` methods to make it appear/disappear.

2. Add it to the hierarchy when needed and remove afterwards.



The following example shows how to add the controller to your `UIViewController` and how to remove it. Make sure that you never add the same `FloatingPanelController` to the hierarchy before removing it.



**NOTE**: `self.` prefix is not required, nor recommended. It's used here to make it clearer where do the functions used come from. `self` is an instance of a custom UIViewController in your code.



```swift

// Add the floating panel view to the controller's view on top of other views.

self.view.addSubview(fpc.view)



// REQUIRED. It makes the floating panel view have the same size as the controller's view.

fpc.view.frame = self.view.bounds



// In addition, Auto Layout constraints are highly recommended.

// Constraint the fpc.view to all four edges of your controller's view.

// It makes the layout more robust on trait collection change.

fpc.view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

NSLayoutConstraint.activate([

  fpc.view.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.topAnchor, constant: 0.0),

  fpc.view.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.leftAnchor, constant: 0.0),

  fpc.view.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.rightAnchor, constant: 0.0),

  fpc.view.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.bottomAnchor, constant: 0.0),

])



// Add the floating panel controller to the controller hierarchy.

self.addChild(fpc)



// Show the floating panel at the initial position defined in your `FloatingPanelLayout` object.

fpc.show(animated: true) {

    // Inform the floating panel controller that the transition to the controller hierarchy has completed.

    fpc.didMove(toParent: self)

}

```



After you add the `FloatingPanelController` as seen above, you can call `fpc.show(animated: true) { }` to show the panel and `fpc.hide(animated: true) { }` to hide it.



To remove the `FloatingPanelController` from the hierarchy, follow the example below.



```swift

// Inform the panel controller that it will be removed from the hierarchy.

fpc.willMove(toParent: nil)

    

// Hide the floating panel.

fpc.hide(animated: true) {

    // Remove the floating panel view from your controller's view.

    fpc.view.removeFromSuperview()

    // Remove the floating panel controller from the controller hierarchy.

    fpc.removeFromParent()

}

```



### Scale the content view when the surface position changes



Specify the `contentMode` to `.fitToBounds` if the surface height fits the bounds of `FloatingPanelController.view` when the surface position changes



```swift

fpc.contentMode = .fitToBounds

```



Otherwise, `FloatingPanelController` fixes the content by the height of the top most position.



> [!NOTE]

> In `.fitToBounds` mode, the surface height changes as following a user interaction so that you have a responsibility to configure Auto Layout constrains not to break the layout of a content view by the elastic surface height.



### Customize the layout with `FloatingPanelLayout` protocol



#### Change the initial layout



```swift

class ViewController: UIViewController, FloatingPanelControllerDelegate {

    ... {

        fpc = FloatingPanelController(delegate: self)

        fpc.layout = MyFloatingPanelLayout()

    }

}



class MyFloatingPanelLayout: FloatingPanelLayout {

    let position: FloatingPanelPosition = .bottom

    let initialState: FloatingPanelState = .tip

    let anchors: [FloatingPanelState: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchoring] = [

        .full: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(absoluteInset: 16.0, edge: .top, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

        .half: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(fractionalInset: 0.5, edge: .bottom, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

        .tip: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(absoluteInset: 44.0, edge: .bottom, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

    ]

}

```



### Update your panel layout



There are 2 ways to update the panel layout.



1. Manually set `FloatingPanelController.layout` to the new layout object directly.



```swift

fpc.layout = MyPanelLayout()

fpc.invalidateLayout() // If needed

```



Note: If you already set the `delegate` property of your `FloatingPanelController` instance, `invalidateLayout()` overrides the layout object of `FloatingPanelController` with one returned by the delegate object.



2. Returns an appropriate layout object in one of 2 `floatingPanel(_:layoutFor:)` delegates.



```swift

class ViewController: UIViewController, FloatingPanelControllerDelegate {

    ...

    func floatingPanel(_ vc: FloatingPanelController, layoutFor newCollection: UITraitCollection) -> FloatingPanelLayout {

        return MyFloatingPanelLayout()

    }



    // OR

    func floatingPanel(_ vc: FloatingPanelController, layoutFor size: CGSize) -> FloatingPanelLayout {

        return MyFloatingPanelLayout()

    } 

}

```



#### Support your landscape layout



```swift

class ViewController: UIViewController, FloatingPanelControllerDelegate {

    ...

    func floatingPanel(_ vc: FloatingPanelController, layoutFor newCollection: UITraitCollection) -> FloatingPanelLayout {

        return (newCollection.verticalSizeClass == .compact) ? LandscapePanelLayout() : FloatingPanelBottomLayout()

    }

}



class LandscapePanelLayout: FloatingPanelLayout {

    let position: FloatingPanelPosition = .bottom

    let initialState: FloatingPanelState = .tip

    let anchors: [FloatingPanelState: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchoring] = [

        .full: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(absoluteInset: 16.0, edge: .top, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

        .tip: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(absoluteInset: 69.0, edge: .bottom, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

    ]

    

    func prepareLayout(surfaceView: UIView, in view: UIView) -> [NSLayoutConstraint] {

        return [

            surfaceView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.leftAnchor, constant: 8.0),

            surfaceView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 291),

        ]

    }

}

```



#### Use the intrinsic size of a content in your panel layout



1. Lay out your content View with the intrinsic height size. For example, see "Detail View Controller scene"/"Intrinsic View Controller scene" of [Main.storyboard](https://github.com/SCENEE/FloatingPanel/blob/master/Examples/Samples/Sources/Base.lproj/Main.storyboard). The 'Stack View.bottom' constraint determines the intrinsic height.

2. Specify layout anchors using `FloatingPanelIntrinsicLayoutAnchor`.



```swift

class IntrinsicPanelLayout: FloatingPanelLayout {

    let position: FloatingPanelPosition = .bottom

    let initialState: FloatingPanelState = .full

    let anchors: [FloatingPanelState: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchoring] = [

        .full: FloatingPanelIntrinsicLayoutAnchor(absoluteOffset: 0, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

        .half: FloatingPanelIntrinsicLayoutAnchor(fractionalOffset: 0.5, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

    ]

    ...

}

```



> [!WARNING]

> `FloatingPanelIntrinsicLayout` is deprecated on v1.



#### Specify an anchor for each state by an inset of the `FloatingPanelController.view` frame



Use `.superview` reference guide in your anchors.



```swift

class MyFullScreenLayout: FloatingPanelLayout {

    ...

    let anchors: [FloatingPanelState: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchoring] = [

        .full: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(absoluteInset: 16.0, edge: .top, referenceGuide: .superview),

        .half: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(fractionalInset: 0.5, edge: .bottom, referenceGuide: .superview),

        .tip: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(absoluteInset: 44.0, edge: .bottom, referenceGuide: .superview),

    ]

}

```



> [!WARNING]

> `FloatingPanelFullScreenLayout` is deprecated on v1.



#### Change the backdrop alpha



You can change the backdrop alpha by `FloatingPanelLayout.backdropAlpha(for:)` for each state(`.full`, `.half` and `.tip`).



For instance, if a panel seems like the backdrop view isn't there on `.half` state, it's time to implement the backdropAlpha API and return a value for the state as below.



```swift

class MyPanelLayout: FloatingPanelLayout {

    func backdropAlpha(for state: FloatingPanelState) -> CGFloat {

        switch state {

        case .full, .half: return 0.3

        default: return 0.0

        }

    }

}

```



#### Using custome panel states



You're able to define custom panel states and use them as the following example.



```swift

extension FloatingPanelState {

    static let lastQuart: FloatingPanelState = FloatingPanelState(rawValue: "lastQuart", order: 750)

    static let firstQuart: FloatingPanelState = FloatingPanelState(rawValue: "firstQuart", order: 250)

}



class FloatingPanelLayoutWithCustomState: FloatingPanelBottomLayout {

    override var anchors: [FloatingPanelState: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchoring] {

        return [

            .full: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(absoluteInset: 0.0, edge: .top, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

            .lastQuart: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(fractionalInset: 0.75, edge: .bottom, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

            .half: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(fractionalInset: 0.5, edge: .bottom, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

            .firstQuart: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(fractionalInset: 0.25, edge: .bottom, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

            .tip: FloatingPanelLayoutAnchor(absoluteInset: 20.0, edge: .bottom, referenceGuide: .safeArea),

        ]

    }

}

```



### Customize the behavior with `FloatingPanelBehavior` protocol



#### Modify your floating panel's interaction



```swift

class ViewController: UIViewController, FloatingPanelControllerDelegate {

    ...

    func viewDidLoad() {

        ...

        fpc.behavior =  CustomPanelBehavior()

    }

}



class CustomPanelBehavior: FloatingPanelBehavior {

    let springDecelerationRate = UIScrollView.DecelerationRate.fast.rawValue + 0.02

    let springResponseTime = 0.4

    func shouldProjectMomentum(_ fpc: FloatingPanelController, to proposedState: FloatingPanelState) -> Bool {

        return true

    }

}

```



> [!WARNING]

> `floatingPanel(_ vc:behaviorFor:)` is deprecated on v1.



#### Activate the rubber-band effect on panel edges



```swift

class MyPanelBehavior: FloatingPanelBehavior {

    ...

    func allowsRubberBanding(for edge: UIRectEdge) -> Bool {

        return true

    }

}

```



#### Manage the projection of a pan gesture momentum



This allows full projectional panel behavior. For example, a user can swipe up a panel from tip to full nearby the tip position.



```swift

class MyPanelBehavior: FloatingPanelBehavior {

    ...

    func shouldProjectMomentum(_ fpc: FloatingPanelController, to proposedState: FloatingPanelPosition) -> Bool {

        return true

    }

}

```



### Specify the panel move's boundary



`FloatingPanelController.surfaceLocation` in `floatingPanelDidMove(_:)` delegate method behaves like `UIScrollView.contentOffset` in `scrollViewDidScroll(_:)`.

As a result, you can specify the boundary of a panel move as below.



```swift

func floatingPanelDidMove(_ vc: FloatingPanelController) {

    if vc.isAttracting == false {

        let loc = vc.surfaceLocation

        let minY = vc.surfaceLocation(for: .full).y - 6.0

        let maxY = vc.surfaceLocation(for: .tip).y + 6.0

        vc.surfaceLocation = CGPoint(x: loc.x, y: min(max(loc.y, minY), maxY))

    }

}

```



> [!WARNING]

> `{top,bottom}InteractionBuffer` property is removed from `FloatingPanelLayout` since v2.



### Customize the surface design



#### Modify your surface appearance



```swift

// Create a new appearance.

let appearance = SurfaceAppearance()



// Define shadows

let shadow = SurfaceAppearance.Shadow()

shadow.color = UIColor.black

shadow.offset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 16)

shadow.radius = 16

shadow.spread = 8

appearance.shadows = [shadow]



// Define corner radius and background color

appearance.cornerRadius = 8.0

appearance.backgroundColor = .clear



// Set the new appearance

fpc.surfaceView.appearance = appearance

````



#### Use a custom grabber handle



```swift

let myGrabberHandleView = MyGrabberHandleView()

fpc.surfaceView.grabberHandle.isHidden = true

fpc.surfaceView.addSubview(myGrabberHandleView)

```



#### Customize layout of the grabber handle



```swift

fpc.surfaceView.grabberHandlePadding = 10.0

fpc.surfaceView.grabberHandleSize = .init(width: 44.0, height: 12.0)

```



> [!NOTE]

> `grabberHandleSize` width and height are reversed in the left/right position.



#### Customize content padding from surface edges



```swift

fpc.surfaceView.contentPadding = .init(top: 20, left: 20, bottom: 20, right: 20)

```



#### Customize margins of the surface edges



```swift

fpc.surfaceView.containerMargins = .init(top: 20.0, left: 16.0, bottom: 16.0, right: 16.0)

```



The feature can be used for these 2 kind panels



* Facebook/Slack-like panel whose surface top edge is separated from the grabber handle.

* iOS native panel to display AirPods information, for example.



### Customize gestures



#### Suppress the panel interaction



You can disable the pan gesture recognizer directly



```swift

fpc.panGestureRecognizer.isEnabled = false

```



Or use this `FloatingPanelControllerDelegate` method.



```swift

func floatingPanelShouldBeginDragging(_ vc: FloatingPanelController) -> Bool {

    return aCondition ?  false : true

}

```



#### Add tap gestures to the surface view



```swift

override func viewDidLoad() {

    ...

    let surfaceTapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleSurface(tapGesture:)))

    fpc.surfaceView.addGestureRecognizer(surfaceTapGesture)

    surfaceTapGesture.isEnabled = (fpc.position == .tip)

}



// Enable `surfaceTapGesture` only at `tip` state

func floatingPanelDidChangeState(_ vc: FloatingPanelController) {

    surfaceTapGesture.isEnabled = (vc.position == .tip)

}

```



#### Interrupt the delegate methods of `FloatingPanelController.panGestureRecognizer`



If you are set `FloatingPanelController.panGestureRecognizer.delegateProxy` to an object adopting `UIGestureRecognizerDelegate`, it overrides delegate methods of the pan gesture recognizer.



```swift

class MyGestureRecognizerDelegate: UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {

    func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRequireFailureOf otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {

        return false

    }

}



class ViewController: UIViewController {

    let myGestureDelegate = MyGestureRecognizerDelegate()



    func setUpFpc() {

        ....

        fpc.panGestureRecognizer.delegateProxy = myGestureDelegate

    }

```



### Create an additional floating panel for a detail



```swift

override func viewDidLoad() {

    // Setup Search panel

    self.searchPanelVC = FloatingPanelController()



    let searchVC = SearchViewController()

    self.searchPanelVC.set(contentViewController: searchVC)

    self.searchPanelVC.track(scrollView: contentVC.tableView)



    self.searchPanelVC.addPanel(toParent: self)



    // Setup Detail panel

    self.detailPanelVC = FloatingPanelController()



    let contentVC = ContentViewController()

    self.detailPanelVC.set(contentViewController: contentVC)

    self.detailPanelVC.track(scrollView: contentVC.scrollView)



    self.detailPanelVC.addPanel(toParent: self)

}

```



### Move a position with an animation



In the following example, I move a floating panel to full or half position while opening or closing a search bar like Apple Maps.



```swift

func searchBarCancelButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {

    ...

    fpc.move(to: .half, animated: true)

}



func searchBarTextDidBeginEditing(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {

    ...

    fpc.move(to: .full, animated: true)

}

```



You can also use a view animation to move a panel.



```swift

UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25) {

    self.fpc.move(to: .half, animated: false)

}

```



### Work your contents together with a floating panel behavior



```swift

class ViewController: UIViewController, FloatingPanelControllerDelegate {

    ...

    func floatingPanelWillBeginDragging(_ vc: FloatingPanelController) {

        if vc.position == .full {

            searchVC.searchBar.showsCancelButton = false

            searchVC.searchBar.resignFirstResponder()

        }

    }



    func floatingPanelWillEndDragging(_ vc: FloatingPanelController, withVelocity velocity: CGPoint, targetState: UnsafeMutablePointer) {

        if targetState.pointee != .full {

            searchVC.hideHeader()

        }

    }

}

```



### Enabling the tap-to-dismiss action of the backdrop view



The tap-to-dismiss action is disabled by default. So it needs to be enabled as below.



```swift

fpc.backdropView.dismissalTapGestureRecognizer.isEnabled = true

```



### Allow to scroll content of the tracking scroll view in addition to the most expanded state



Just define conditions to allow content scrolling in `floatingPanel(:_:shouldAllowToScroll:in)` delegate method. If the returned value is true, the scroll content scrolls when its scroll position is not at the top of the content.



```swift

class MyViewController: FloatingPanelControllerDelegate {

    ... 



    func floatingPanel(

        _ fpc: FloatingPanelController,

        shouldAllowToScroll trackingScrollView: UIScrollView,

        in state: FloatingPanelState

    ) -> Bool {

        return state == .full || state == .half

    }

}

```



## Notes



### 'Show' or 'Show Detail' Segues from `FloatingPanelController`'s content view controller



'Show' or 'Show Detail' segues from a content view controller will be managed by a view controller(hereinafter called 'master VC') adding a floating panel. Because a floating panel is just a subview of the master VC(except for modality).



`FloatingPanelController` has no way to manage a stack of view controllers like `UINavigationController`. If so, it would be so complicated and the interface will become `UINavigationController`. This component should not have the responsibility to manage the stack.



By the way, a content view controller can present a view controller modally with `present(_:animated:completion:)` or 'Present Modally' segue.



However, sometimes you want to show a destination view controller of 'Show' or 'Show Detail' segue with another floating panel. It's possible to override `show(_:sender)` of the master VC!



Here is an example.



```swift

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    var fpc: FloatingPanelController!

    var secondFpc: FloatingPanelController!



    ...

    override func show(_ vc: UIViewController, sender: Any?) {

        secondFpc = FloatingPanelController()



        secondFpc.set(contentViewController: vc)



        secondFpc.addPanel(toParent: self)

    }

}

```



A `FloatingPanelController` object proxies an action for `show(_:sender)` to the master VC. That's why the master VC can handle a destination view controller of a 'Show' or 'Show Detail' segue and you can hook `show(_:sender)` to show a secondary floating panel set the destination view controller to the content.



It's a great way to decouple between a floating panel and the content VC.



### UISearchController issue



`UISearchController` isn't able to be used with `FloatingPanelController` by the system design.



Because `UISearchController` automatically presents itself modally when a user interacts with the search bar, and then it swaps the superview of the search bar to the view managed by itself while it displays. As a result, `FloatingPanelController` can't control the search bar when it's active, as you can see from [the screen shot](https://github.com/SCENEE/FloatingPanel/issues/248#issuecomment-521263831).
