Question 1

How to show multiple banners at once with NotificationBanner?

Accepted Answer

Use the built-in queue system by creating a NotificationBannerQueue with maxBannersOnScreenSimultaneously set, then add banners to it. The README shows an example with stacked banners where up to three can display simultaneously, with others queued.

Question 2

NotificationBanner vs Apple's UIAlertController for in-app notifications?

Accepted Answer

NotificationBanner is better for customizable, non-modal alerts with queue management and modern features like haptic feedback, while UIAlertController is simpler for standard modal dialogs. NotificationBanner offers more flexibility for persistent or styled banners.

Question 3

Can I use NotificationBanner with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires bridging via UIViewControllerRepresentable since it's built on UIKit. This adds complexity compared to native SwiftUI components, so it's not seamless for SwiftUI-only projects.

Question 4

How to customize banner colors in NotificationBanner?

Accepted Answer

Conform to the BannerColorsProtocol and implement the color method for each BannerStyle, then pass an instance to the banner initializer. The README provides a code example for overriding predefined colors like .success or .danger.

Question 5

Does NotificationBanner support Dark Mode in iOS?

Accepted Answer

Indirectly, through customization—you can set colors dynamically based on trait collections, but it doesn't have built-in automatic Dark Mode adaptation; developers must handle color changes manually in their custom implementations.

Question 6

How to handle user taps on a banner in NotificationBanner?

Accepted Answer

Set the onTap closure on the banner instance to execute custom code when tapped. The README demonstrates this with banner.onTap = { // Do something }, allowing interactive feedback beyond dismissal.

Question 7

What dependencies does NotificationBanner have?

Accepted Answer

For CocoaPods or Carthage installations, it depends on SnapKit for auto-layout and MarqueeLabel for scrolling text. Swift Package Manager handles these internally, but external dependencies can increase app size.
