Dodo, a message bar for iOS / Swift
This is a UI widget for showing text messages in iOS apps. It is useful for showing short messages to the user, something like: "Message sent", "Note saved", "No Internet connection".
- Dodo includes styles for success, info, warning and error type messages.
- The bar can have buttons with custom tap handlers.
- Bar styles can be customized.
- You can provide custom animations for showing and hiding the bar or use one of the default animation presets.
- Supports iOS 9+.
At last the Dodo said, `EVERYBODY has won, and all must have prizes.'
From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Original illustration by John Tenniel, 1865. Source: Wikimedia Commons.
Setup
There are multiple ways you can add Dodo to your project.

Simply add DodoDistrib.swift file into your Xcode project.
Setup with Carthage
Add github "evgenyneu/Dodo" ~> 13.0
to your Cartfile and run carthage update
.
Setup with CocoaPods
If you are using CocoaPods add this text to your Podfile and run pod install
.
use_frameworks!
target 'Your target name'
pod 'Dodo', '~> 13.0'
Setup with Swift Package Manager
- In Xcode 11+ select File > Packages > Add Package Dependency....
- Enter this project's URL: https://github.com/evgenyneu/Dodo.git
Legacy Swift versions
Setup a previous version of the library if you use an older version of Swift.
Usage
Add import Dodo
to your source code (unless you used the file setup method).
Dodo is an extension of UIView class. You can reach it by using using the dodo
property in any instance of UIView or its subclass. It can be, for example, the view
property of your view controller.
Show and hide message bar
view.dodo.success("Everybody has won and all must have prizes.")
view.dodo.info("Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.")
view.dodo.warning("This world is but a canvas to our imagination.")
view.dodo.error("The perception of beauty is a moral test.")
view.dodo.hide()
If you are showing the bar in the root view you may need to provide top or bottom anchors. This will prevent the message bar from overlapping with the status or the tab bar.
view.dodo.topAnchor = view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor
view.dodo.bottomAnchor = view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor
view.dodo.success("I solemnly swear to avoid the notch.")
Alternatively, you can specify the anchors from the layout guides:
view.dodo.topAnchor = topLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor
view.dodo.bottomAnchor = bottomLayoutGuide.topAnchor
view.dodo.success("I solemnly swear to avoid the notch.")
Styling
Set dodo.style
property to style the message bar before it is shown. See the styling manual for the complete list of configuration options.
// Set the text color
view.dodo.style.label.color = UIColor.white
// Set background color
view.dodo.style.bar.backgroundColor = DodoColor.fromHexString("#00000090")
// Close the bar after 3 seconds
view.dodo.style.bar.hideAfterDelaySeconds = 3
// Close the bar when it is tapped
view.dodo.style.bar.hideOnTap = true
// Show the bar at the bottom of the screen
view.dodo.style.bar.locationTop = false
// Do something on tap
view.dodo.style.bar.onTap = { /* Tapped on the bar */ }
Add buttons or icons
Set style.leftButton
and style.rightButton
properties to show buttons or icons. As with other style properties please style the buttons before the message is shown.
// Use a built-in icon
view.dodo.style.leftButton.icon = .close
// Supply your image
view.dodo.style.leftButton.image = UIImage(named: "CloseIcon")
// Change button's image color
view.dodo.style.leftButton.tintColor = DodoColor.fromHexString("#FFFFFF90")
// Do something on tap
view.dodo.style.leftButton.onTap = { /* Button tapped */ }
// Close the bar when the button is tapped
view.dodo.style.leftButton.hideOnTap = true
Customize animation
Configure the animation effect of the bar before it is shown. See the animation wiki page for more information.
// Use existing animations
view.dodo.style.bar.animationShow = DodoAnimations.rotate.show
view.dodo.style.bar.animationHide = DodoAnimations.slideRight.hide
// Turn off animation
view.dodo.style.bar.animationShow = DodoAnimations.noAnimation.show
Unit testing
Sometimes it is useful to verify which messages were shown by your app in unit tests. It can be done
by setting an instance of DodoMock
class to view.dodo
property.
See the unit testing manual for more details.

UITableViewController
