TOAST

Hey there!

So i made a framework for toast messages and here are some of the interesting things it does.

• Templates for normal, banner, action and progress indicator toasts. (All easily tweak-able.)

• Swipe to dismiss (comes with threshold for swipe which can be customized)

• Timed and untimed toasts. (Timed toasts dismiss themselves after the duration)

• Countdown timer which you can use for other things as well.

• Pretty much everything in the toast is easily tweakable without much effort. :D

The files are all well documented.

Ok so'll i'll walk you through on how to use this bad boy... toast ! :s

• Creating a default toast

  • Use the class function 'getToast' from the class ToastProfiles.swift to get the instance of the toast.

   let toast = ToastProfiles.getToast(titleStrings: ["<Title>"], type: .normal, view: view, target: nil, selector: nil)

• Creating custom toast

  • If you want minute changes to the default toast, just make them in the respective 'designConfig' or 'animationConfig' variables after you create a default toast. eg: You want the toast label to have a different color. All you need to do is change, before you call 'showToast' method.

   let toast = ToastProfiles.getToast(titleStrings: ["Title"], type: .normal, view: view, target: nil, selector: nil)
       toast.designConfig.labelTextColor = .black // Desired color
       toast.showToast()

  • However if you want a completely custom toast. Create the 'animationConfig' and 'designConfig' separately and use the custom initializer in ToastView.

   let designConfig = ToastDesignConfig()
   // Set the variables to what you need. Check 'ToastDesignConfig.swift to find the possible customisations you can make
   designConfig.backgroundColor = .white
   .
   .
   .
  
   let animationConfig = ToastAnimationConfig()
   // Set the variables to what you need. Check ToastAnimationConfig.swift to find the possible customisations you can make
   animationConfig.entryDirection = .center
   .
   .
   .
  
   let toast = ToastView(view: nil, type: .custom, animationConfig: animationConfig, designConfig: designConfig)
   toast.showToast()

How to use the toast as a pod

• Open terminal

• Go to the parent folder (By parent folder i mean the folder that holds the .xcodeproj file)

• Run 'pod init'. (This creates a pod file inside the parent folder)

• Add "source 'https://github.com/rakeshashastri/Toast.git' to the beginning of the file.

• Add "pod 'Toast'" inside the target. (There will be a comment which states where you have to add this line)

Note: Make sure you have use_frameworks! in your podfile for this pod to work.

Yep that's all you need to get this toast to work. :D
