Usage

1. Basic Instance

There are multiple ways to instantiate a ReactionButton, using a frame, storyboards, or an empty convenience initializer.

Example Code


                                              
                                                let buttonSample = ReactionButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))

buttonSample.dataSource = self

view.addSubview(buttonSample)

2. Delegate

The ReactionButton has a delegate to communicate events of option selection, option focus, and cancel of actions. To use it, set the ReactionButtonDelegate conform as a delegate.


                                              
                                                let buttonSample = ReactionButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))

buttonSample.delegate = self

view.addSubview(buttonSample)

3. Custom layout instance

ReactionButton allows customization of the layout with the help of ReactionButtonDelegateLayout. To use it, please conform to that protocol and set it as delegate (Same pattern as UICollectionView).


                                              
                                                func ReactionSelectorConfiguration(_ selector: ReactionButton) -> ReactionButton.Config {

ReactionButton.Config(spacing: 2,

size: 30,

minSize: 34,

maxSize: 45,

spaceBetweenComponents: 30)

}
