Question 1

How to use FlowingMenu without storyboards?

Accepted Answer

You can integrate it programmatically by setting the transitioningDelegate on your view controller and managing presentations manually, though the README focuses on storyboard segues. This requires handling view controller presentation in code instead of using segues.

Question 2

FlowingMenu vs SideMenu: which is better for iOS apps?

Accepted Answer

FlowingMenu excels with unique fluid, gesture-driven animations and bouncing effects, while SideMenu offers more standard slide-out functionality with simpler setup. Choose FlowingMenu for visual flair, but SideMenu for conventional menus with less code.

Question 3

Can I change the animation speed in FlowingMenu?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't provide explicit APIs for customizing animation speed or other parameters. You might need to modify the source code or rely on default effects, which limits fine-tuning for specific design needs.

Question 4

Does FlowingMenu support right-to-left languages?

Accepted Answer

There's no mention of RTL support in the README, so it likely doesn't handle language direction changes automatically. You may need to adjust gestures or layouts manually for internationalization.

Question 5

How to dismiss FlowingMenu programmatically?

Accepted Answer

Use the flowingMenuNeedsDismissMenu delegate method to trigger dismissal, typically by calling performSegue or dismissing the view controller. Ensure the interactive dismiss view is set up correctly for gesture integration.

Question 6

Is FlowingMenu still maintained in 2024?

Accepted Answer

The last version is 3.1.0 from 2018 with Swift 4.2+ support, and the GitHub repository shows limited recent activity. Check for updates or forks, as it might not be actively developed for newer iOS versions.
