A highly customizable view container components for SwiftUI
- SwiftUI Overlay Container 2
SwiftUI Overlay Container is a view container component for SwiftUI. It is a customizable, efficient and convenient view manager.
With just a simple configuration, SwiftUI Overlay Container can do the basic work of view organization, queue handling, transitions, animations, interactions, display style configuration and so on for you, allowing developers to devote more effort to the implementation of the application view itself.
When we need to display new content in the upper layer of the view (for example: pop-up information, side menu, help tips, etc.), there are many excellent third-party solutions that can help us achieve it separately, but no solution can deal with different at the same time.
In SwiftUI, describing views has become very easy, so we can completely extract the display logic in the above scenarios, create a library that can cover more usage scenarios, and help developers organize the display style and interaction logic of views .
- Multiple container support
- Supports multiple views within a single container
- Push views to any specified container within or outside of SwiftUI view code
- The configuration of the container can be modified dynamically (except for
queue type
andclipped
) - Views inside a container can be arranged in multiple ways
- There are multiple queue types to guide the container on how to display the view
For more details, see the demo in the library and the comments in the source code.
Create a view container on top of the specified view with the same dimensions as the view it is attached to.
VStack{
// your view
}
.overlayContainer("containerA", containerConfiguration: AConfiguration())
When no view container is required to be attached to a view.
ViewContainer("containerB", configuration: BConfiguration())
Display the view MessageView
in the view container containerA
.containerView(in: "containerA", configuration: ViewConfiguration(), isPresented: $show, content: MessageView())
Use the container manager
struct ContentView1: View {
@Environment(\.overlayContainerManager) var manager
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("push view in containerB") {
manager.show(view: MessageView(), in: "containerB", using: ViewConfiguration())
}
}
}
}
struct ContentView1: View {
@Environment(\.overlayContainerManager) var manager
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("push view in containerB") {
manager.dismissAllView(in: ["containerA","containerB"], animated: true)
}
}
}
}
The component that receives and displays the view. At least for the container you need to set: name, view display type, view queue type.
You can set the default view style for the container, and for style properties not specified by the view, the container's default settings will be used instead.
-
stacking
When multiple views are displayed in the container at the same time, the views are arranged along the Z axis. It behaves like
ZStack
. -
horizontal
When multiple views are displayed in the container at the same time, the views are arranged along the X axis. It behaves like
HStack
. -
vertical
When multiple views are displayed in the container at the same time, the views are arranged along the Y axis. It behaves like
VStack
.
-
multiple
Multiple views can be displayed within a container at the same time. When the given number of views exceeds the maximum number of views set by the container, the excess views will be temporarily stored in the waiting queue, and will be replenished one by one after the displayed views are dismissed.
-
oneByOne
Only one view can be displayed in the container at the same time. The newly added view will automatically replace the one being displayed.
-
oneByOneWaitFinish
One view can be displayed in the container at the same time. Only after the currently displayed view is dismissed, the new view can be displayed.
The configuration of the container must set at least the following properties:
struct MyContainerConfiguration:ContainerConfigurationProtocol{
var displayType: ContainerViewDisplayType = .stacking
var queueType: ContainerViewQueueType = .multiple
}
Other properties:
-
delayForShowingNext
Time interval to replenish the next view
-
maximumNumberOfViewsInMultipleMode
The maximum number of views that can be displayed simultaneously in the container in multiple mode
-
spacing
Spacing between views in vertical and horizontal modes
-
insets
In stacking mode, the value is an insets value of the view. In horizontal and vertical mode, the value is an insets value of the view group
-
clipped
Clipping the container, set to true when you want to limit the bounds of the view transition
-
ignoresSafeArea
Expending the container out of it's safe area. The default value is
.disable
(do not ignore),.all
(ignore all safe area) and.custom
(customize regions and edges) -
Configuration for all other container views (used as defaults for container views)
See Configuring Container Views below for details
Each container provides an environment value - overlayContainer
for the view inside the container. The view inside the container can obtain the container's information (name, size, display type, queue type) through this value and perform the behavior of dismissing itself.
struct MessageView: View {
@Environment(\.overlayContainer) var container
var body: some View {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)
.frame(width: 300, height: 10)
.overlay(
HStack {
Text("container Name:\(container.containerName)")
Button("Dismiss me"){
container.dismiss()
}
}
)
}
}
All SwiftUI views can be displayed inside a container. You can create the same view configuration for similar functional views, or make a specific view conform to the ContainerViewConfigurationProtocol
protocol and set it separately.
public protocol ContainerViewConfigurationProtocol {
var alignment: Alignment? { get }
var tapToDismiss: Bool? { get }
var backgroundStyle: ContainerBackgroundStyle? { get }
var backgroundTransitionStyle: ContainerBackgroundTransitionStyle { get }
var shadowStyle: ContainerViewShadowStyle? { get }
var dismissGesture: ContainerViewDismissGesture? { get }
var transition: AnyTransition? { get }
var autoDismiss: ContainerViewAutoDismiss? { get }
var disappearAction: (() -> Void)? { get }
var appearAction: (() -> Void)? { get }
var animation: Animation? { get }
}
-
alignment
Sets the alignment of the view or view group within the container. In stacking mode, you can set a different alignment for each view, and in vertical or horizontal mode, all views (view groups) share the container's alignment settings.
-
tapToDismiss
Whether to allow the view to be dismissed by clicking on the background if the backgroundStyle is set for the view.
See the project demo code for details
-
backgroundStyle
Set the background for the container view. Currently supports color, blur, customView.
Some versions of operating systems (iOS 14, watchOS) do not support blur mode. If you want to use blur in these versions, you can wrap other blur codes through customView.
See the project demo code for details
-
backgroundTransitionStyle
background transitions. Default is opacity, set to identity to cancel the transition.
-
shadowStyle
Add shadow to view
-
dismissGesture
Add a cancel gesture to the view, currently supports single tap, double tap, long press, swipe left, swipe right, swipe up, swipe down, and custom gesture.
Use
eraseToAnyGestureForDismiss
to erase the type when using custom gestures.let gesture = LongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 1, maximumDistance: 5).eraseToAnyGestureForDismiss()
Under tvOS, only long press are supported
See the project demo code for details
-
transition
Transition of view
-
animation
The animation of the view transitions
-
autoDismiss
Whether to support automatic dismissing.
.seconds(3)
means that the view will be automatically dismissed after 3 seconds.See the project demo code for details
-
disappearAction
Closure that executes after the view is dismissed
-
appearAction
Closure that executes before the view is displayed in the container
The container manager is the bridge between the program code and the container. By calling specific methods of the container manager, the user allows the specified container to perform tasks such as displaying a view, dismissing a view, etc.
In SwiftUI, the view code calls the container manager through the environment value.
struct ContentView1: View {
@Environment(\.overlayContainerManager) var manager
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("push view in containerB") {
manager.show(view: MessageView(), in: "containerB", using: ViewConfiguration())
}
}
}
}
The methods currently provided by the Container Manager are.
-
show(view: Content, with ID: UUID?, in container: String, using configuration: ContainerViewConfigurationProtocol, animated: Bool) -> UUID?
Show the view in the specified container, the return value is the ID of the view
-
dismiss(view id: UUID, in container: String, animated flag: Bool)
Dismiss the view with the specified ID In the specified container,
-
dismissAllView(notInclude excludeContainers: [String], onlyShowing: Bool, animated flag: Bool)
Dismisses views in all containers except the specified container. When
onlyShow
is true, only the view that is being displayed is dismissed. -
dismissAllView(in containers: [String], onlyShowing: Bool, animated flag: Bool)
Dismiss all views in the specified containers
-
dismissTopmostView(in containers: [String], animated flag: Bool)
Dismiss the top view in specified containers
The transition animation can be forced to cancel when animated
is set to false, either by calling the container manager directly or by using a View modifier.
This is useful when dealing with scenarios such as Deep Link.
If you want to call the container manager outside of a SwiftUI view, you can call the ContainerManager singleton directly:
let manager = ContainerManager.share
manager.show(view: MessageView(), in: "containerB", using: ViewConfiguration())
