SideMenu is a Swift library for iOS apps that adds a sliding panel menu to the side of the screen. It is aimed at iOS developers who want to include a drawer-style navigation menu in their app without writing a lot of custom code. The library works on iOS 10 and above and requires Swift 5. The main draw of this project is that it can be set up entirely through Xcode's storyboard interface, without writing any code at all. You create a navigation controller in your storyboard, assign the SideMenu class to it, and connect a button to trigger it with a segue. That's the full setup for a basic menu. For developers who prefer code, a programmatic API is also available. SideMenu includes eight animation styles out of the box: Slide Out, Slide In, Dissolve, Slide In and Out, among others. There is also a parallax effect option. You can configure a left-side menu, a right-side menu, or both, and users can swipe continuously between the two in a single gesture. The configuration is global, meaning you set it once and it applies across all screens in your app. Because SideMenu uses iOS's built-in view controller transition system, the menus behave like any standard screen in your app. They animate using the actual view controllers rather than static screenshots of them, which means interactive content inside the menu stays live. The library also handles device rotation and the height changes that occur when a phone call is active. Installation is available through CocoaPods, Carthage, or the Swift Package Manager. The repository includes a customization layer called SideMenuManager for global settings and SideMenuNavigationController for per-menu settings, covering things like presentation style, animation duration, shadow appearance, and gesture behavior. The README documents each option with code examples.
