Question 1

How to customize dot size and spacing in FlexiblePageControl?

Accepted Answer

Use the FlexiblePageControl.Config struct to set parameters like dotSize, dotSpace, and size ratios for small and medium dots, as shown in the README example. This allows you to tweak the visual appearance easily.

Question 2

FlexiblePageControl vs UIPageControl: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Choose FlexiblePageControl for Instagram-like animations and high customizability, but opt for UIPageControl if you need native accessibility support and zero dependencies. FlexiblePageControl is better for visually rich apps.

Question 3

How to integrate FlexiblePageControl with a UICollectionView?

Accepted Answer

In the scrollViewDidScroll delegate method, call pageControl.setProgress with the content offset and page width. This updates the indicator based on collection view scrolling, similar to the UIScrollView example.

Question 4

Is FlexiblePageControl compatible with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, it's built for UIKit. To use it in SwiftUI, wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable, which adds extra boilerplate code compared to native SwiftUI components.

Question 5

Does FlexiblePageControl support dark mode in iOS?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't specify, but since it uses tint colors, you'll likely need to manually adapt colors for dark mode, unlike system controls that handle it automatically.

Question 6

What installation methods does FlexiblePageControl support?

Accepted Answer

It supports Carthage and CocoaPods, as per the README, but Swift Package Manager is not mentioned. This might require workarounds for projects using SPM exclusively.

Question 7

How to update the page indicator on scroll in FlexiblePageControl?

Accepted Answer

Implement scrollViewDidScroll and use setProgress with contentOffsetX and pageWidth, or call setCurrentPage directly. The README provides clear code snippets for both approaches.
