# CardStack [![Carthage compatible](https://img.shields.io/badge/Carthage-compatible-4BC51D.svg?style=flat)](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) ![Pod Support](https://img.shields.io/cocoapods/v/CardsStack.svg?maxAge=2592000) ![Swift 3 compatible](Documentation/Swift-3-orange.png)

CardStack converts your `UICollectionView` to an awesome stack of cards using custom `UICollectionViewLayout`.

## What is CardStack? 💫 ✨💥⭐️

Talk is cheap, lets look at the gif.

![Basic Interaction](Documentation/BasicCardStackInteraction.gif)

The Basic interaction with the CardStack is dragging up the cards till they are unraveled. But hold on, for the impatient users, there is one more interaction, you can drag a little and the cards will unwind or wind.

## Installation
### CocoaPods

[CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org/) is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

```
$ gem install cocoapods

```
To integrate CardsStack into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

```
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

target '' do
pod 'CardsStack', '0.2.1'
end

```
Then, run the following command:

```
$ pod install

```
### Carthage
[Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) using the following command:

```
$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

```
To integrate CardsStack into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

```
github "priteshrnandgaonkar/CardsStack" == 0.2.1

```
Run `carthage update` to build the framework and drag the built CardsStack.framework into your Xcode project.

## How to use it?

There are 4 basic components required by CardsStack to function. To initialise the `CardStack` it needs the `CardsPosition`, `Configuration` along with `UICollectionView` and its height constraint i.e `NSLayoutConstraint`.

Initialise `CardStack` as follows

``` swift
let config = Configuration(cardOffset: 40, collapsedHeight: 200, expandedHeight: 500, cardHeight: 200, downwardThreshold: 20, upwardThreshold: 20, leftSpacing: 8.0, rightSpacing: 8.0, verticalSpacing: 8.0)
let cardStack = CardStack(cardsState: .Collapsed, configuration: config, collectionView: collectionView, collectionViewHeight: heightConstraint)

```
### Configuration

`Configuration` object holds the information related to Stacks view, like the collapsed height, expanded height etc.

``` swift
public struct Configuration {
public let cardOffset: Float
public let collapsedHeight:Float
public let expandedHeight:Float
public let cardHeight: Float
public let downwardThreshold: Float
public let upwardThreshold: Float
public let verticalSpacing: Float
public let leftSpacing: Float
public let rightSpacing: Float

public init(cardOffset: Float, collapsedHeight: Float, expandedHeight: Float, cardHeight: Float, downwardThreshold: Float = 20, upwardThreshold: Float = 20, leftSpacing: Float = 8.0, rightSpacing: Float = 8.0, verticalSpacing: Float = 8.0) {
self.cardOffset = cardOffset
self.collapsedHeight = collapsedHeight
self.expandedHeight = expandedHeight
self.downwardThreshold = downwardThreshold
self.upwardThreshold = upwardThreshold
self.cardHeight = cardHeight
self.verticalSpacing = verticalSpacing
self.leftSpacing = leftSpacing
self.rightSpacing = rightSpacing
}
}

```

Its initialiser requires the necessary fields like `cardOffset`, `collapsedHeight`, `expandedHeight` and `cardHeight`.

1. `cardOffset` is the offset between thetwo cards while in collapsed state.
2. `collapsedHeight`, as name suggests its the height of the collectionview while in collapsed state.
3. `expandedHeight` is the height of the collectionview while in expanded state.
4. `cardHeight` is the height of the cell.

### CardsPosition

Its an enum which states the current state of CardsStack.

``` swift
@objc public enum CardsPosition: Int {
case Collapsed
case Expanded
}

```

## CardsManagerDelegate

With this delegate you can get the hooks to specific events.

``` swift

@objc public protocol CardsManagerDelegate {

@objc optional func cardsPositionChangedTo(position: CardsPosition)
@objc optional func tappedOnCardsStack(cardsCollectionView: UICollectionView)
@objc optional func cardsCollectionView(_ cardsCollectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath)
@objc optional func cardsCollectionView(_ cardsCollectionView: UICollectionView, willDisplay cell: UICollectionViewCell, forItemAt indexPath: IndexPath)

}

```
For listening to this call-backs assign a delegate to `CardsStack`.

``` swift
cardStack.delegate = self
```

The last two functions are the same as the delegate function for collection view.

The first function gives the hook to the `CardStacks` position change.

``` swift
@objc optional func cardsPositionChangedTo(position: CardsPosition)
```

The CardStack also has the tap gesture which is enabled when the cards are collapsed.The second function gives the hook to the tap gesture on collectionview when the cards are in collapsed state.

So you can use this hook to open cards, like this

``` swift

func tappedOnCardsStack(cardsCollectionView: UICollectionView) {
cardStack.changeCardsPosition(to: .Expanded)
}

```

In order to change the state of the cards programatically you can use.

``` swift
public func changeCardsPosition(to position: CardsPosition) {

```

You can checkout the example in the project and play around with it to get hang of the API's.

You can also find the [example](https://github.com/priteshrnandgaonkar/CardsStackExample) with CardsStack imported through Carthage.

You can also checkout the my [blog](https://priteshrnandgaonkar.github.io/Details-of-CardsStack/) discussing the details of the library.
