Question 1

How to customize the dropdown appearance in Dropdowns?

Accepted Answer

Use the centralized Config structure, such as setting Config.List.DefaultCell.Text.color, to modify colors, fonts, and other visual properties without subclassing, as shown in the README examples.

Question 2

Dropdowns vs other iOS dropdown libraries like IQDropdownMenu?

Accepted Answer

Dropdowns is lighter and more Swift-native, focusing on simplicity and customization for basic lists, whereas IQDropdownMenu may offer more out-of-the-box features but with increased complexity. Choose Dropdowns for straightforward, UIKit-based projects.

Question 3

Does Dropdowns work with Carthage or only CocoaPods?

Accepted Answer

It supports both Carthage and CocoaPods installation methods, as stated in the README, by adding the appropriate lines to your Cartfile or Podfile for flexible dependency management.

Question 4

Can I use a custom view controller instead of the default list?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can provide a custom contentController, such as a TableController or any UIViewController, to display arbitrary content in the dropdown, enabling greater flexibility beyond simple item lists.

Question 5

Is Dropdowns compatible with iOS 13 and Dark Mode?

Accepted Answer

As a UIKit-based library, it works with iOS 13, but Dark Mode support requires manual configuration via the Config structure or adapting to system traits, as it doesn't handle this automatically out-of-the-box.

Question 6

How to handle dropdown item selection events?

Accepted Answer

Set the action closure on the TitleView or contentController, which passes the selected index, allowing easy integration with your app's logic, as illustrated in the basic usage example.
