FRDLivelyButton

FRDLivelyButton is a simple UIButton subclass intended to be used inside a UIBarButtonItem, even though it can be used anywhere you can use a UIButton. It is entirely Core Graphics driven, supports 5 common button types (menu, close, add, etc...) used in navigation bar, and will nicely animate any button type changes and touch events.

Requirements

FRDLivelyButton uses ARC and requires iOS 6.1+.

Installation

CocoaPods

pod 'FRDLivelyButton', '~> 1.1.3'

Manual

Copy the folder FRDLivelyButton to your project.

Usage

Add a FRDLivelyButton either in code or using interface builder.

Example, how to add a FRDLivelyButton in a nav bar:

FRDLivelyButton *button = [[FRDLivelyButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,36,28)];
[button setStyle:kFRDLivelyButtonStyleHamburger animated:NO];
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *buttonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = buttonItem;

To change the button style, just call setStyle:animated:

[self.myButton setStyle:kFRDLivelyButtonStyleCircleClose animated:YES];

The current type of the button can be accessed using the buttonStyle property:

- (IBAction)buttonAction:(FRDLivelyButton *)sender
{
    if (sender.buttonStyle == kFRDLivelyButtonStylePlus) {
    	// logic
    } else ....
}

Customizing Appearance

Button appearance and behavior can be customized using an options NSDictionary. Color, highlighted color, line thickness, animation durations, etc... can be customized. Default should work just fine though.

See FRDLivelyButton.h for list of possible attributes.

Example:

[button setOptions:@{ kFRDLivelyButtonLineWidth: @(2.0f),
                      kFRDLivelyButtonHighlightedColor: [UIColor colorWithRed:0.5 green:0.8 blue:1.0 alpha:1.0],
                      kFRDLivelyButtonColor: [UIColor blueColor]
                      }];
