Cluster is an easy map annotation clustering library. This repository uses an efficient method (QuadTree) to aggregate pins into a cluster.

- Swift 5 (Cluster 3.x), Swift 4 (Cluster 2.x), Swift 3 (Cluster 1.x)

## Demo

The [Example](Example) is a great place to get started. It demonstrates how to:

- integrate the library
- add/remove annotations
- reload annotations
- configure the annotation view
- configure the manager

```
$ pod try Cluster
```

## Installation

Cluster is available via CocoaPods and Carthage.

### CocoaPods

To install Cluster with [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org/), add this to your `Podfile`:

```
pod "Cluster"
```

### Carthage

To install Cluster with [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage), add this to your `Cartfile`:

```
github "efremidze/Cluster"
```

## Usage

### The Basics
The `ClusterManager` class generates, manages and displays annotation clusters.

```swift
let clusterManager = ClusterManager()
```

### Adding an Annotation

Create an object that conforms to the `MKAnnotation` protocol, or extend an existing one. Next, add the annotation object to an instance of `ClusterManager` with `add(annotation:)`.

```swift
let annotation = Annotation(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 21.283921, longitude: -157.831661))
manager.add(annotation)
```

### Configuring the Annotation View

Implement the map view’s `mapView(_:viewFor:)` delegate method to configure the annotation view. Return an instance of `MKAnnotationView` to display as a visual representation of the annotations.

To display clusters, return an instance of `ClusterAnnotationView`.

```swift
extension ViewController: MKMapViewDelegate {
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
if let annotation = annotation as? ClusterAnnotation {
return CountClusterAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: "cluster")
} else {
return MKPinAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: "pin")
}
}
}
```

For performance reasons, you should generally reuse `MKAnnotationView` objects in your map views. See the [Example](Example) to learn more.

#### Customizing the Appearance

The `ClusterAnnotationView` class exposes a `countLabel` property. You can subclass `ClusterAnnotationView` to provide custom behavior as needed. Here's an example of subclassing the `ClusterAnnotationView` and customizing the layer `borderColor`.

```swift
class CountClusterAnnotationView: ClusterAnnotationView {
override func configure() {
super.configure()

self.layer.cornerRadius = self.frame.width / 2
self.layer.masksToBounds = true
self.layer.borderColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
self.layer.borderWidth = 1.5
}
}
```

See the [AnnotationView](Example/AnnotationView.swift) to learn more.

#### Annotation Styling

You can customize the appearance of the `StyledClusterAnnotationView` by setting the `style` property of the annotation.

```swift
let annotation = Annotation(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 21.283921, longitude: -157.831661))
annotation.style = .color(color, radius: 25)
manager.add(annotation)
```

Several styles are available in the `ClusterAnnotationStyle` enum:
- `color(UIColor, radius: CGFloat)` - Displays the annotations as a circle.
- `image(UIImage?)` - Displays the annotation as an image.

Once you have added the annotation, you need to return an instance of the `StyledClusterAnnotationView` to display the styled annotation.

```swift
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
if let annotation = annotation as? ClusterAnnotation {
return StyledClusterAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: identifier, style: style)
}
}
```

### Removing Annotations

To remove annotations, you can call `remove(annotation:)`. However the annotations will still display until you call `reload()`.

```swift
manager.remove(annotation)
```

In the case that `shouldRemoveInvisibleAnnotations` is set to `false`, annotations that have been removed may still appear on map until calling `reload()` on visible region.

### Reloading Annotations

Implement the map view’s `mapView(_:regionDidChangeAnimated:)` delegate method to reload the `ClusterManager` when the region changes.

```swift
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, regionDidChangeAnimated animated: Bool) {
clusterManager.reload(mapView: mapView) { finished in
// handle completion
}
}
```

You should call `reload()` anytime you add or remove annotations.

### Configuring the Manager

The `ClusterManager` class exposes several properties to configure clustering:

```swift
var zoomLevel: Double // The current zoom level of the visible map region.
var maxZoomLevel: Double // The maximum zoom level before disabling clustering.
var minCountForClustering: Int // The minimum number of annotations for a cluster. The default is `2`.
var shouldRemoveInvisibleAnnotations: Bool // Whether to remove invisible annotations. The default is `true`.
var shouldDistributeAnnotationsOnSameCoordinate: Bool // Whether to arrange annotations in a circle if they have the same coordinate. The default is `true`.
var distanceFromContestedLocation: Double // The distance in meters from contested location when the annotations have the same coordinate. The default is `3`.
var clusterPosition: ClusterPosition // The position of the cluster annotation. The default is `.nearCenter`.
```

### ClusterManagerDelegate

The `ClusterManagerDelegate` protocol provides a number of functions to manage clustering and configure cells.

```swift
// The size of each cell on the grid at a given zoom level.
func cellSize(for zoomLevel: Double) -> Double? { ... }

// Whether to cluster the given annotation.
func shouldClusterAnnotation(_ annotation: MKAnnotation) -> Bool { ... }
```
