iOS 7 style blurred view controller that appears on top of your view controller.
- Xcode 5 or higher
- Apple LLVM compiler
- iOS 6.0 or higher
- ARC
Build and run the REFrostedViewControllerExample project in Xcode to see REFrostedViewController in action.
The recommended approach for installating REFrostedViewController is via the CocoaPods package manager, as it provides flexible dependency management and dead simple installation.
For best results, it is recommended that you install via CocoaPods >= 0.23.0 using Git >= 1.8.0 installed via Homebrew.
Install CocoaPods if not already available:
$ [sudo] gem install cocoapods
$ pod setupChange to the directory of your Xcode project:
$ cd /path/to/MyProject
$ touch Podfile
$ edit PodfileEdit your Podfile and add REFrostedViewController:
platform :ios, '6.0'
pod 'REFrostedViewController', '~> 1.0.1'Install into your Xcode project:
$ pod installOpen your project in Xcode from the .xcworkspace file (not the usual project file)
$ open MyProject.xcworkspacePlease note that if your installation fails, it may be because you are installing with a version of Git lower than CocoaPods is expecting. Please ensure that you are running Git >= 1.8.0 by executing git --version. You can get a full picture of the installation details by executing pod install --verbose.
All you need to do is drop REFrostedViewController files into your project, and add #include "REFrostedViewController.h" to the top of classes that will use it.
self.menuViewController = [[REFrostedViewController alloc] init];
[self.menuViewController presentFromViewController:self animated:YES completion:nil];You can customize the following properties of REFrostedViewController:
@property (strong, readwrite, nonatomic) UIColor *blurTintColor;
@property (assign, readwrite, nonatomic) CGFloat blurRadius;
@property (assign, readwrite, nonatomic) CGFloat blurSaturationDeltaFactor;
@property (assign, readwrite, nonatomic) CGFloat threshold;
@property (assign, readwrite, nonatomic) NSTimeInterval animationDuration;Inspired by a Dribbble shot, author Jackie Tran.
UI Control structure and View Controller containment practices adopted from Ryan Nystrom and Matthias Tretter.
The blur algorithm comes from WWDC 2013's session 208, "What's New in iOS User Interface Design".
