Question 1

How do I install TriLabelView with CocoaPods?

Accepted Answer

Add 'pod TriLabelView' to your Podfile for the target, then run 'pod install'. The README provides a clear example with the use_frameworks! directive for Swift projects.

Question 2

Can I change the triangle size in TriLabelView?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use the lengthPercentage property to adjust the triangle's size relative to its superview. The default is 50.0, and you can set it to values like 60.0 for larger labels.

Question 3

Does TriLabelView work with auto layout?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't explicitly mention auto layout, but as a UIView subclass, it should support it with proper constraints. However, you may need to handle positioning manually via frames or adjust constraints in code.

Question 4

TriLabelView vs other iOS badge libraries like BadgeSwift?

Accepted Answer

TriLabelView focuses solely on triangular corner labels with simple customization, while libraries like BadgeSwift offer more shapes, animations, and SwiftUI support. Choose TriLabelView for lightweight, corner-specific needs, but look elsewhere for richer features.

Question 5

How to add a TriLabelView to a storyboard?

Accepted Answer

Drag a View from the object library, set its class to TriLabelView in the identity inspector, and specify the module as TriLabelView. Then, customize properties like text and color in the attributes inspector, as shown in the README screenshot.

Question 6

Is TriLabelView still maintained for iOS 14 and above?

Accepted Answer

The GitHub repo hasn't seen recent updates, and the README lists requirements for iOS 9.3 and Swift 3. While it might work on newer iOS versions, lack of maintenance could lead to compatibility issues with Swift 5 or later.
