📚 Code Samples

Activity

Presents message with an activity indicator view. The intention behind this presentation is to report some long running task:

MessageView.showActivity(withMessage: "Please wait...", dismissAfter: 3.0)

Or you can omit the dismissAfter parameter and hide the MessageView manually by calling hide method:

MessageView.hide()

Success

Presents a success message. The intention behind this presentation is to report that something was successful or completed:

MessageView.showSuccess(withMessage: "Success!", dismissAfter: 2.25)

Warning

Presents a warning message. The intention behind this presentation is to report that something wasn't successful or failed:

MessageView.showWarning(withMessage: "Warning!", dismissAfter: 2.5)

Custom

Presents a custom image above the message. The intention behind this presentation style is defined by you, the developer. For instance we can present a failure MessageView by providing failureImage and the corresponding tintColor:

MessageView.showCustom(image: failureImage,
                              tintColor: .red,
                              withMessage: "Something went wrong",
                              dismissAfter: 2.8)

Message update

Message updates are used in order to refresh the text message inside a MessageView while it's presented on screen. It's useful is situations when a long running task is in progress and we need to report various stages of the progress:

MessageView.showActivity(withMessage: “Initializing the task...")

fetcher.fetch(data) { result in 
  MessageView.update(message: "Completed! Result is \(result)", dismissAfter: 3.0)
  handle(result)
}.progress { value in 
  MessageView.update(message: "Fetching: \(value)%")
}

Styles

There is a protocol called MessageViewBuilder that defines a number of properties. By creating your own version of style or by using one of the existing styles, you can customize the visuals of the component:

MessageView.configure(with: .dark)
MessageView.configure(with: .extraLight)
MessageView.configure(with: .default)

Or you can use an alternative configure method with your own version of style type:

public struct MessageViewNightStyleBuilder: MessageViewBuilder {
    public var activityIndicatorColor: UIColor                          = .init(red: 252 / 256, green: 0.0, blue: 0.0, alpha: 1.0)
    public var messageColor: UIColor                                    = .init(red: 71 / 256, green: 68 / 256, blue: 69 / 256, alpha: 1.0)
    public var messageFont: UIFont                                      = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20)
    public var animationDuration: TimeInterval                          = 0.475
    public var loadingIndicatorSize: CGFloat                            = 55
    public var loadingIndicatorInitialTransform: CGAffineTransform      = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 0.12, y: 0.12)
    public var successColor: UIColor                                    = .init(red: 0.0, green: 134 / 256, blue: 245 / 256, alpha: 1.0)
    public var warningColor: UIColor                                    = .init(red: 245 / 256, green: 0.0, blue: 0.0, alpha: 1.0)
    public var backgroundStyle: MessageView.BackgroundStyle             = .dark
}

MessageView.configure(with: MessageViewNightStyleBuilder())
