Question 1

How to add a blur effect to KWDrawerController?

Accepted Answer

Enable the isBlur option in the DrawerController's properties after setup. This applies a visual blur to the background when the drawer is open, enhancing depth without custom code. Ensure to test on target devices as blur effects can impact performance on older hardware.

Question 2

KWDrawerController vs SideMenu library for iOS?

Accepted Answer

KWDrawerController stands out with more transition animations (e.g., float, fold) and storyboard integration, but SideMenu might be simpler for basic drawers. Choose KWDrawerController if you need advanced customization; opt for SideMenu for quicker, minimal setup with fewer features.

Question 3

Does KWDrawerController support Swift 5?

Accepted Answer

The latest version (4.2) supports Swift 4.2, and it may work with Swift 5 via compatibility modes, but there's no official update. Check the GitHub repo for any community forks or patches, as the library hasn't been updated recently for newer Swift versions.

Question 4

How to handle drawer state changes with delegate methods?

Accepted Answer

Implement the drawerDidAnimation or drawerDidFinishAnimation delegate methods to monitor events like opening or closing. The README provides sample code with callbacks for percentage and side parameters, allowing real-time updates or actions based on drawer state.

Question 5

KWDrawerController not closing on tap, how to fix?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the isTapToClose property is set to true and that no gesture conflicts exist. Check the delegate for any overrides that might block actions, and refer to the changelog for fixes in versions 4.1.6+ related to gesture issues.

Question 6

Custom animator example for KWDrawerController?

Accepted Answer

Create a class inheriting from DrawerAnimator or DrawerTickAnimator and override animation methods. The README lists built-in options like DrawerSpringAnimator; for custom ones, implement timing functions and integrate via the drawer controller's animator property, though documentation on advanced customization is sparse.
