How do I set up MIBlurPopup with a storyboard?

Use MIBlurPopupSegue as your custom segue class in Interface Builder, set the module to MIBlurPopup if using CocoaPods, and ensure your view controller conforms to MIBlurPopupDelegate for configuration.

Can MIBlurPopup be used with SwiftUI?

No, MIBlurPopup is built for UIKit and lacks native SwiftUI support. You would need to wrap it in a UIViewControllerRepresentable for integration, which adds complexity.

How do I change the blur intensity or style in MIBlurPopup?

Set the blurEffectStyle property in the MIBlurPopupDelegate to use native UIBlurEffect styles like .light or .dark, but custom intensity adjustments beyond Apple's presets are not supported.

MIBlurPopup vs PopupDialog: which should I use?

MIBlurPopup is better for custom blur-background modals with simple animations, while PopupDialog offers more pre-styled alert components out-of-the-box. Choose based on whether you need flexibility or ready-made designs.

How to dismiss MIBlurPopup programmatically?

The library handles dismissal with animations automatically, but you can call standard dismissal methods on the presented view controller. However, the README does not detail programmatic control, so experimentation may be needed.

Does MIBlurPopup support iOS dark mode?

Yes, since it uses UIBlurEffect, it should adapt to system blur styles in dark mode. But the README does not explicitly confirm this, so testing with different blurEffectStyle settings is advisable.

What is MIBlurPopup?

MIBlurPopup is an iOS library written in Swift that enables developers to create popup modals with a blurred background effect. It solves the problem of implementing custom, visually appealing popups with smooth animations and easy customization, reducing the need for boilerplate UI code.

Target Audience

iOS developers building apps that require modal popups with a polished, native-like appearance, particularly those using Swift and CocoaPods for dependency management.

Value Proposition

Developers choose MIBlurPopup for its simplicity, clean blur effects, and easy integration via storyboards or code, offering a professional popup solution without the overhead of building custom modal systems from scratch.

Overview

MIBlurPopup lets you create popups with a blurred background

Use Cases

Best For

Adding blurred background modals to iOS apps
Creating custom alert or dialog popups with animations
Implementing storyboard-based popup segues
Enhancing UI with native-like zoom effects on modals
Quickly prototyping polished popup interfaces
Building iOS apps that require visually distinct modal presentations

Not Ideal For

Projects built with SwiftUI that require native popup components
Apps needing complex, multi-step animations beyond simple zoom effects
Teams using dependency managers other than CocoaPods, like Swift Package Manager

Pros & Cons

Pros

Easy Integration

Supports CocoaPods and manual file inclusion, with straightforward setup steps as shown in the README's setup section.

Customizable Blur Effects

Allows setting the blur effect style via the MIBlurPopupDelegate, providing visual flexibility with native UIBlurEffect.

Smooth Animations

Offers zoom effects and adjustable animation durations through initialScaleAmmount and animationDuration properties for polished transitions.

Storyboard Support

Includes MIBlurPopupSegue for seamless integration with Interface Builder, enabling visual setup of popups without code.

Cons

UIKit-Only

Does not support SwiftUI, making it incompatible with modern iOS apps built using Apple's declarative UI framework.

Limited Customization

Only provides basic animation options via delegate properties, lacking support for more advanced effects or interactive popup behaviors.

CocoaPods-Centric

Primarily distributed via CocoaPods without mention of Swift Package Manager or Carthage, which might limit integration in projects using other dependency managers.
