Question 1

How do I install and set up DMSwipeCards in my iOS app?

Accepted Answer

Install via CocoaPods by adding 'pod "DMSwipeCards"' to your Podfile, then import the module and create a DMSwipeCardsView instance with view and overlay generators, as detailed in the README's setup and usage sections.

Question 2

DMSwipeCards vs Koloda: which one should I use?

Accepted Answer

DMSwipeCards is more lightweight and customizable, requiring manual UI work, while Koloda offers more built-in features and animations. Choose based on whether you need flexibility or out-of-the-box styling for your card interface.

Question 3

How to create custom overlays for swipe directions in DMSwipeCards?

Accepted Answer

Implement an overlayGenerator function that returns a UIView based on the SwipeMode (left or right). Design custom overlays for each direction, similar to the example provided in the README's usage code.

Question 4

Does DMSwipeCards support SwiftUI or is it UIKit only?

Accepted Answer

It is built for UIKit and requires UIView-based implementations, so it doesn't natively support SwiftUI. For SwiftUI projects, you'd need to wrap it with UIViewRepresentable or seek SwiftUI-native alternatives.

Question 5

How to dynamically add or remove cards while the app is running?

Accepted Answer

Use the addCards method on the DMSwipeCardsView instance, passing an array of elements and specifying the position (onTop: true or false). This allows real-time updates, as shown in the README's adding cards section.

Question 6

Is DMSwipeCards actively maintained for newer Swift versions?

Accepted Answer

Check the GitHub repository for recent updates; the README mentions Swift 3, which might indicate it's not actively updated. Always review commit history and issue tracker to assess maintenance status.
