## Features
* Easy to use - A fully functional location picker can be integrated to your app within __5 lines__ of codes. `LocationPicker` can be subclassed in storyboard or programmatically.
* Comprehensive - `LocationPicker` provides [Closure](#closure), [Delegate and Data Source](#delegate-and-data-source), [Override](#override) for callback to suit your need.
* All kinds of locations to pick - Users can pick locations from their current location, search results or a list of locations provided by your app.
* Fully customizable - `LocationPicker` provides a great deal of customizability allowing all text to be customized along with the colors and icons. Original UI elements like `UISearchBar`, `UITableView`, `MKMapItem` are also accessible if you want to do some deep customization.
* Permission worry free - `LocationPicker` requests location access for you.
## Installation
### Cocoapods
[CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org) is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects.
You can install it with the following command:
```bash
$ gem install cocoapods
```
To integrate `LocationPicker` into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your `Podfile`:
```ruby
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
target 'YourApp' do
pod 'LocationPickerViewController'
end
```
### Carthage
[Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) is a decentralized dependency manager that automates the process of adding frameworks to your Cocoa application.
You can install Carthage with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) using the following command:
```bash
$ brew update
$ brew install carthage
```
To integrate `LocationPicker` into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your `Cartfile`:
```ogdl
github "JeromeTan1997/LocationPicker"
```
### Swift Package Manager
[Swift Package Manager](#https://swift.org/package-manager/) is a tool for managing the distribution of Swift code.
Swift Package Manager is currently only available with the Swift 3 development [snapshots](#https://swift.org/download/).
To integrate `LocationPicker` into your Xcode project using Swift Package Manager, specify it in your `Packages.swift`:
```swift
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "Your Project Name",
targets: [],
dependencies: [
.Package(url: "https://github.com/JeromeTan1997/LocationPicker.git", versions: "2.0.0" ..< Version.max)
]
)
```
## Quick Start
### Programmatically
Import `LocationPicker`
```swift
import LocationPicker
```
__NOTE__: If you installed via Cocoapods:
```swift
import LocationPickerViewController
```
Showing `LocationPicker` via navigation controller is very simple, just create one, add a completion closure and push it.
```swift
let locationPicker = LocationPicker()
locationPicker.pickCompletion = { (pickedLocationItem) in
// Do something with the location the user picked.
}
navigationController!.pushViewController(locationPicker, animated: true)
```
To present `LocationPicker`, it needs to be nested inside a navigation controller so that it can be dismissed.
```swift
let locationPicker = LocationPicker()
locationPicker.pickCompletion = { (pickedLocationItem) in
// Do something with the location the user picked.
}
locationPicker.addBarButtons()
// Call this method to add a done and a cancel button to navigation bar.
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: customLocationPicker)
presentViewController(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)
```
### Storyboard
1. Drag a __View Controller__ to your Storyboard.
2. In the __Identity inspector__, Entry `LocationPicker` both in __Class__ and __Module__ field.
__NOTE__: If you installed via Cocopods, the __Module__ field should be `LocationPickerViewController`
3. Create a __segue__ and add a __Identifier__ to it.
4. Add the following codes in the source view controller.
```swift
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "Your Identifier" {
let locationPicker = segue.destinationViewController as! LocationPicker
locationPicker.pickCompletion = { (pickedLocationItem) in
// Do something with the location the user picked.
}
}
}
```
That's __all__ you need to have a fully functional location picker in your app. How easy!
__Note__: To use current location, don't forget to add `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription` to your `info.plist`
## Customization
### Methods
##### `func addBarButtons`
This method provides 3 optional parameter. `doneButtonItem` and `cancelButtonItem` can be set as the customized `UIBarButtonItem` object. `doneButtonOrientation` is used to determine how to align these two buttons. If none of the parameters is provided, two system style buttons would be used, and the done button would be put on the right side.
After this method is called, these two buttons can be accessed via `barButtonItems` property.
##### `func setColors`
This method aims to set colors more conveniently. `themColor` will be set to `currentLocationIconColor`, `searchResultLocationIconColor`, `alternativeLocationIconColor`, `pinColor`. `primaryTextColor` and `secondaryTextColor` can also be set by this method.
##### `func setLocationDeniedAlertControllerTitle`
This method provides the text of `locationDeniedAlertController` simultaneously.
If this method is not called, the alert controller will be presented like this
__Grant__ button will direct user to the Settings where location access can be changed.

__Note__:
* Alternative locations can also be provided via __Data Source__.
* You don't need to set the `locationDeniedAlertController` if you are satisfied with the alert controller included in `LocationPicker`. You can change the text of the default alert controller via `func setLocationDeniedAlertControllerTitle`. If you want to do something other than presenting an alert controller, you can adopt __Permission Denied Handler__ callback.
## Callbacks
`LocationPicker` provides three different types of callbacks, they are __Closure__, __Delegate and Data Source__ and __Override__, you can choose whichever you like. In most cases, using closures is the most convenient way. If you are already subclassing `LocationPicker`, override may be the best choice.
### Closure
##### Location Pick
This completion closure is used to get user's final decision. It would be executed only once for every `LocationPicker` object when it is about to be dismissed.
```swift
locationPicker.pickCompletion = { (pickedLocationItem) in
// Do something with the location the user picked.
}
```
##### Location Selection
This completion closure is used to get user's every location selection. It would be executed every time user chooses a location in the list or drag the map view.
```swift
locationPicker.selectCompletion = { (selectedLocationItem) in
// Do something with user's every selection.
}
```
##### Location Deletion
If `alternativeLocations` is not empty and `alternativeLocationEditable` is set to `true`, this closure will be executed when user delete a location item in the table view.
```swift
locationPicker.deleteCompletion = { (deletedLocationItem) in
// Delete the location.
}
```
##### Permission Denied Handler
By default, when user request current location but denied the app's location access, `LocationPicker` will present an alert controller that links to the Settings. You can change the text in the alert controller by calling `func setLocationDeniedAlertControllerTitle`. If you need to do something other than presenting an alert controller, you can set this closure.
```swift
locationPicker.locationDeniedHandler = { (locationPicker) in
// Ask user to grant location access of this app.
}
```
### Delegate and Data Source
To use a delegate or data source, the following steps need to be taken:
1. Conform to `LocationPickerDelegate` or `LocationPickerDataSource`
```swift
class YourViewController: LocationPickerDelegate, LocationPickerDataSource
```
2. Set `delegate` or `dataSource` to this class
```swift
locationPicker.delegate = self
locationPicker.dataSource = self
```
3. Implement methods in `delegate` or `dataSource`
##### Location Pick
This delegate method is used to get user's final decision. It would be called only once for every `LocationPicker` object when it is about to be dismissed.
```swift
func locationDidPick(locationItem: LocationItem) {
// Do something with the location the user picked.
}
```
##### Location Selection
This delegate method is used to get user's every location selection. It would be called every time user chooses a location in the list or drag the map view.
```swift
func locationDidSelect(locationItem: LocationItem) {
// Do something with user's every selection.
}
```
##### Alternative Locations
This data source method is used to provide locations that show under current location and search result locations. Instead of using delegate, you can also just set the `alternativeLocations` property.
```swift
func numberOfAlternativeLocations() -> Int {
// Get the number of locations you need to add to the location list.
return count
}
func alternativeLocationAtIndex(index: Int) -> LocationItem {
// Get the location item for the specific index.
return locationItem
}
```
##### Location Deletion
If `alternativeLocations` is not empty and `alternativeLocationEditable` is set to `true`, this data source method will be called when user delete a location item in the table view.
```swift
func commitAlternativeLocationDeletion(locationItem: LocationItem) {
// Delete the location.
}
```
##### Permission Denied Handler
By default, when user request current location but denied the app's location access, `LocationPicker` will present an alert controller that links to the Settings. You can change the text in the alert controller by calling `func setLocationDeniedAlertControllerTitle`. If you need to do something other than presenting an alert controller, you can set this delegate method.
```swift
func locationDidDeny(locationPicker: LocationPicker) {
// Ask user to grant location access of this app.
}
```
### Override
If you prefer to subclass `LocationPicker`, these methods can be overridden to achieve the same result as closure and delegate.
##### Location Pick
This method is used to get user's final decision. It would be called only once for every `LocationPicker` object when it is about to be dismissed.
```swift
override func locationDidPick(locationItem: LocationItem) {
// Do something with the location the user picked.
}
```
##### Location Selection
This method is used to get user's every location selection. It would be called every time user chooses a location in the list or drag the map view.
__Note__: If you override these methods, the corresponding closure and delegate method won't be executed.
```swift
override func locationDidSelect(locationItem: LocationItem) {
// Do something with user's every selection.
}
```
##### Location Deletion
If `alternativeLocations` is not empty and `alternativeLocationEditable` is set to `true`, this method will be called when user delete a location item in the table view.
```swift
override func alternativeLocationDidDelete(locationItem: LocationItem) {
// Delete the location.
}
```
##### Permission Denied Handler
By default, when user request current location but denied the app's location access, `LocationPicker` will present an alert controller that links to the Settings. You can change the text in the alert controller by calling `func setLocationDeniedAlertControllerTitle`. If you need to do something other than presenting an alert controller, you can set this method.
```swift
override func locationDidDeny(locationPicker: LocationPicker) {
// Ask user to grant location access of this app.
}
```
## Location Item
`LocationItem` is a encapsulation class of `MKMapItem` to save you from importing `MapKit` everywhere in your project. To make it more convenient to use, it equips with several computing properties to access the `MKMapItem`.
### Storage
`LocationItem` is conformed to `NSCoding`, which means `LocationItem` object can be encoded to `NSData` object and decoded back.
```swift
let locationData = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedDataWithRootObject(locationItem)
let locationItem = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObjectWithData(locationData) as! LocationItem
```
### Equatable
The hash value of `LocationItem` is `"\(coordinate.latitude), \(coordinate.longitude)".hashValue`, so objects that have the same latitude and longitude are equal.
### Properties
| Property name | Type | Target | Remark |
| ------------- |:----:| ------ | ------ |
| name | String | mapItem.name | The name of the location |
| coordinate | (latitude: Double, longitude: Double)? | mapItem.placemark.coordinate | The coordinate of the location and converted to tuple. If the user is offline or there is no search result and the `allowArbitraryLocation` property of `LocationPicker` is set to `true`, this property will be `nil` |
| addressDictionary | [NSObject: AnyObject]? | mapItem.placemark.addressDictionary | The address dictionary of the location |
| formattedAddressString | String? | addressDictionary?["FormattedAddressLines"] | The address text formatted according to user's region |
If you want to access other properties of `MKMapItem` object, just call `locationItem.mapItem`.
### Initialization
##### `init(mapItem: MKMapItem)`
Since `LocationItem` is just the encapsulation of `MKMapItem`, of course you can create a `LocationItem` with a `MKMapItem` object.
##### `init(coordinate: (latitude: Double, longitude: Double), addressDictionary: [String: AnyObject])`
You can also initialize with the coordinate and address dictionary.
If you don't want to store `LocationItem` objects as `NSData`, you can just store the coordinate and address dictionary, and use this method to initialize.
#### `init(locationName: String)`
A location can be created with only a name. In this case, the value of property `coordinate` would be `nil`.
