Colors

The color picker comes with our set of colors:

But if you don't like them, you are free to use your own colors 🖍:

colorPickerView.colors = [UIColor.red, UIColor.yellow, UIColor.green, UIColor.black]

Style

• style enum: look and feel of color picker cells

  • circle

    

  • square

    

• selectionStyle enum: style applied when a color is selected

  • check

    

  • none

    

Other features

• preselectedIndex Int?: the index of the preselected color in the color picker

• isSelectedColorTappable Bool: if true, the selected color can be deselected by a tap

• scrollToPreselectedIndex Bool: if true, the preselectedIndex is showed in the center of the color picker

Installation

IGColorPicker is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'IGColorPicker'

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Getting Started

ColorPickerView

ColorPickerView is just a class that inheritance from UIView, so you can both use a storyboard or you can create the color picker programmatically:

Storyboard

• Add a UIView to the storyboard. Go to the Identity inspector and in set its class to ColorPickerView.
• Just drag and drop the view in the correct class 🤙🏻

Programmatically

Just initialize the color picker like one would initialize a UIView, and add it as a subview to your view hierarchy.

import IGColorPicker

class ViewController {
  var colorPickerView: ColorPickerView!

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    colorPickerView = ColorPickerView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: widthSize, height: heightSize))
    view.addSubview(colorPickerView)
  }

}

Delegate

ColorPickerViewDelegate is the delegate protocol that recognizes the tap gesture on a color. This is an option delegate, but if you need to know when the user selects a color you should implement it.

// Set the delegate 🙋🏻‍♂️
colorPickerView.delegate = self

// MARK: - ColorPickerViewDelegate
extension ViewController: ColorPickerViewDelegate {

  func colorPickerView(_ colorPickerView: ColorPickerView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    // A color has been selected
  }

  // This is an optional method
  func colorPickerView(_ colorPickerView: ColorPickerView, didDeselectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    // A color has been deselected
  }

}

Layout

Every developer can customize the color picker layout in the way to fit with their design. To do that you have to implement our layout delegate ColorPickerViewDelegateFlowLayout

// Set the delegate 🙋🏻‍♂️
colorPickerView.layoutDelegate = self

// MARK: - ColorPickerViewDelegateFlowLayout
extension ViewController: ColorPickerViewDelegateFlowLayout {

  // ------------------------------------------------------------------
  // All these methods are optionals, your are not to implement them 🖖🏻
  // ------------------------------------------------------------------

  func colorPickerView(_ colorPickerView: ColorPickerView, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
    // The size for each cell
    // 👉🏻 WIDTH AND HEIGHT MUST BE EQUALS!
  }

  func colorPickerView(_ colorPickerView: ColorPickerView, minimumLineSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
    // Space between cells
  }

  func colorPickerView(_ colorPickerView: ColorPickerView, minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAt section: Int) -> CGFloat {
    // Space between rows
  }

  func colorPickerView(_ colorPickerView: ColorPickerView, insetForSectionAt section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
    // Inset used aroud the view
  }

}

Project Details

Requirements

• Xcode 9.0+
• iOS 8.3+

Contributing

Feel free to collaborate with ideas 💭 , issues ⁉️ and/or pull requests 🔃.

Here is a list of ToDo about bug fix and new features you can work on:

• Custom check size
• Support to custom view in ColorPickerViewSelectStyle
• Support custom style in ColorPickerViewStyle
• Substitute M13Checkbox with another framework. Or just create a custom checkbox with animation

P.S. If you use IGColorPicker in your app we would love to hear about it! 😉
