Question 1

How do I customize the colors and labels in Fluid Slider?

Accepted Answer

Set public attributes like `contentViewColor`, `valueViewColor`, and use `attributedTextForFraction` for dynamic text formatting. The README provides a code example showing how to configure these properties for a slider with a range from 0 to 500.

Question 2

Is Fluid Slider better than the standard UISlider?

Accepted Answer

Fluid Slider excels in visual feedback with its popup bubble and smooth animations, making it ideal for polished, consumer-facing apps. However, for simple, performance-critical cases where minimal UI is needed, UISlider is more lightweight and native.

Question 3

How to handle value changes when using Fluid Slider?

Accepted Answer

Use target-action mechanics by calling `addTarget` for `.valueChanged` events, similar to standard UIControls. The README includes a snippet demonstrating this, and you can also use the provided `didBeginTracking` and `didEndTracking` callbacks for finer control.

Question 4

Does Fluid Slider work with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, it's built with UIKit and requires iOS 10.0, so it's not natively compatible with SwiftUI. You would need to wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable for use in SwiftUI projects, which adds complexity.

Question 5

What are the installation options for Fluid Slider?

Accepted Answer

You can install via CocoaPods, Carthage, or by adding source files directly to your project. The README details each method, but note that Carthage and CocoaPods support might require additional setup for newer Xcode versions.

Question 6

How to disable the fluid animations in Fluid Slider?

Accepted Answer

Animations are automatically disabled during low-power mode or system load for performance. There's no direct manual toggle mentioned in the README, but you can minimize effects by customizing attributes like shadow properties or reducing animation complexity.
