Getting Started

Requirements

Requires iOS SDK version > 7.0

Requires ARC

Installation with CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a 3rd-party dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C projects. For more information, refer to the CocoaPods Getting Started Guide. Otherwise, you can install CocoaPods with the following command:


                                              
                                                $ gem install cocoapods

Podfile

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


                                              
                                                source ‘https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git’

pod ‘MEVHorizontalContacts’

Then, run the following command:


                                              
                                                $ pod install

Installation Manually

To integrate MEVHorizontalContacts into your Xcode project manually, just include the filest from /Pod/Classes/ folder in your App’s Xcode project.

Then, import the following file your classes:


                                              
                                                #import “MEVHorizontalContacts.h”

Quick Guide

Usage

1. Import class


                                              
                                                #import “MEVHorizontalContacts.h”

2. Add Datasource and Delegate protocols.


                                              
                                                @interface ViewController () <MEVHorizontalContactsDataSource, MEVHorizontalContactsDelegate>

@property (nonatomic, strong) MEVHorizontalContacts *horizontalContacts;

@end

3. Create, initialize and add MEVHorizontalContacts view.


                                              
                                                _horizontalContacts = [MEVHorizontalContacts new];

_horizontalContacts.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

_horizontalContacts.dataSource = self;

_horizontalContacts.delegate = self;

[self addSubview:_horizontalContacts];

[self addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@”H:|[horizontalContacts]|” options:NSLayoutFormatAlignAllCenterX metrics:nil views:@{@”horizontalContacts” : _horizontalContacts}]];

[self addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@”V:|[horizontalContacts]|” options:NSLayoutFormatAlignAllCenterY metrics:nil views:@{@”horizontalContacts” : _horizontalContacts}]];

4. Implement Datasource Methods


                                              
                                                #pragma mark – MEVHorizontalContactsDataSource Methods
– (NSInteger)numberOfContacts;

– (NSInteger)numberOfItemsAtContactIndex:(NSInteger)index;

– (MEVHorizontalContactsCell *)contactAtIndex:(NSInteger)index;

– (MEVHorizontalContactsCell *)item:(NSInteger)item atContactIndex:(NSInteger)index;

– (UIEdgeInsets)horizontalContactsInsets;

– (NSInteger)horizontalContactsSpacing;

5. Implement Delegate Methods


                                              
                                                #pragma mark – MEVHorizontalContactsDelegate Methods
– (void)contactSelectedAtIndex:(NSInteger)index;

– (void)item:(NSInteger)item selectedAtContactIndex:(NSInteger)index;
