Usage

Getting Started

Via code

import UPCarouselFlowLayout

Create a UPCarouselFlowLayout object, set its itemSize and assign it to your UICollectionView.

let layout = UPCarouselFlowLayout()
layout.itemSize = CGSizeMake(200, 200)
collectionView.collectionViewLayout = layout

Via Interface Builder

Set the UICollectionView layout class to UPCarouselFlowLayout, and set its itemSize and its properties.

Properties

UPCarouselFlowLayout has a few customizable properties:

• sideItemScale (between 0 and 1, default is 0.6) Can be set through code or via Interface Builder. The shrinking ratio for collection items which are not in the center.

• sideItemAlpha (between 0 and 1, default is 0.6) Can be set through code or via Interface Builder. The opacity ratio for collection items which are not in the center.

• sideItemShift (value in pixels, default is 0) Can be set through code or via Interface Builder. A vertical/horizontal offset (depending on the collectionView scroll direction) for collection items which are not in the center.

• spacingMode (default is fixed spacing of 40 pts) Can be set only through code.

  • UPCarouselFlowLayoutSpacingMode.fixed(spacing: CGFloat) Items in the carousel are positioned with a fixed space between them.
  • UPCarouselFlowLayoutSpacingMode.overlap(visibleOffset: CGFloat) A fixed part of the side items are visible on the sides of the collection (and therefore the space between items depends on the collection size).
