Travis Status

CocoaPods compatible

Carthage compatible




**Hexacon** is a new way to display content in your app like the Apple Watch SpringBoard



Highly inspired by the work of [`lmmenge`](https://github.com/lmmenge/WatchSpringboard-Prototype).

Special thanks to [`zenly`](https://github.com/znly) for giving me the opportunity to do this

## Demo








You can also use the example provided in the repository or use `pod try Hexacon`



### How to use



Like a UITableView!



add it as a subview

```swift

override func viewDidLoad() {

    super.viewDidLoad()



    let hexagonalView = HexagonalView(frame: self.view.bounds)

    hexagonalView.hexagonalDataSource = self



    view.addSubview(hexagonalView)

}

``` 

Then use the dataSource protocol

```swift

extension ViewController: HexagonalViewDataSource {



    func numberOfItemInHexagonalView(hexagonalView: HexagonalView) -> Int {

        return data.count - 1

    }



    func hexagonalView(hexagonalView: HexagonalView, imageForIndex index: Int) -> UIImage? {

        return data[index]

    }

}

``` 



## Installation



### 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 Hexacon into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your `Cartfile`:



```ogdl

github "gautier-gdx/Hexacon"

```



### 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 Hexacon into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your `Podfile`:



```ruby

use_frameworks!



pod 'Hexacon'

```

## Properties



The HexagonalView has the following properties:

```swift

weak var hexagonalDataSource: HexagonalViewDataSource?

```

An object that supports the HexagonalViewDataSource protocol and can provide views or images to configures the HexagonalView.

```swift

 weak var hexagonalDelegate: HexagonalViewDelegate?

```

An object that supports the HexagonalViewDelegate protocol and can respond to HexagonalView events.

```swift

public var lastFocusedViewIndex: Int 

```

The index of the view where the HexagonalView is or was centered on.



```swift

public var itemAppearance: HexagonalItemViewAppearance

```    

the appearance is used to configure the global apperance of the layout and the HexagonalItemView



#### Appearance



```swift

public struct HexagonalItemViewAppearance {



    public var needToConfigureItem: Bool // used to circle image and add border, default is false

    public var itemSize: CGFloat

    public var itemSpacing: CGFloat

    public var itemBorderWidth: CGFloat

    public var itemBorderColor: UIColor



    //animation

    public var animationType: HexagonalAnimationType

    public var animationDuration: NSTimeInterval

}

``` 

The default appearance is:

```swift

 itemAppearance = HexagonalItemViewAppearance(

    

    needToConfigureItem: false,

    itemSize: 50,

    itemSpacing: 10,

    itemBorderWidth: 5,

    itemBorderColor: UIColor.grayColor(),



    animationType: .Circle,

    animationDuration: 0.2)

``` 



#### Animation



There is three types of animation available (more to come)

```swift

public enum HexagonalAnimationType { case Spiral, Circle, None }

``` 



## Methods



``` swift

func reloadData() 

```

This function load or reload all the view from the dataSource and refreshes the display

``` swift

func viewForIndex(index: Int) -> HexagonalItemView?

```

Return a view at given index if it exists



## Protocols



There is Two protocols in hexacon, HexagonalViewDataSource and  HexagonalViewDelegate



#### dataSource



``` swift

func numberOfItemInHexagonalView(hexagonalView: HexagonalView) -> Int

```

Return the number of items the view will contain

``` swift

func hexagonalView(hexagonalView: HexagonalView,imageForIndex index: Int) -> UIImage?

```

Return a image to be displayed at index

``` swift

func hexagonalView(hexagonalView: HexagonalView,viewForIndex index: Int) -> UIView?

```

Return a view to be displayed at index, the view will be transformed in an image before being displayed



`NB: all of this methods are optional and you will have to choose whether you want to display a view or an image otherwise the image will be chosen in priority`



#### delegate



``` swift

func hexagonalView(hexagonalView: HexagonalView, didSelectItemAtIndex index: Int)

```

This method is called when the user has selected a view

``` swift

func hexagonalView(hexagonalView: HexagonalView, willCenterOnIndex index: Int)

```

This method is called when the HexagonalView will center on an item, it gives you the new value of lastFocusedViewIndex
