Getting Started

AutocompleteManager

The AutocompleteManager holds the logic and views required for the autocomplete functionality which makes it easy to subclass and modify if you wish to add additional logic! Then you can set the InputBarAccessoryView's autocompleteManager property to your own

Customization

/// If the autocomplete matches should be made by casting the strings to lowercase.
/// Default value is `FALSE`
open var isCaseSensitive = false
    
/// Adds an additional space after the autocompleted text when true.
/// Default value is `TRUE`
open var appendSpaceOnCompletion = true
    
/// Keeps the prefix typed when text is autocompleted.
/// Default value is `TRUE`
open var keepPrefixOnCompletion = true
    
/// The prefices that the manager will recognize
/// Default value is `["@"]`
open var autocompletePrefixes: [Character] = ["@"]
    
/// The delimiters that cause a current autocomplete session to become invalidated when typed.
/// Default value is `[" ", "\n"]`
open var autocompleteDelimiters: [Character] = [" ", "\n"]
    
/// The default text attributes
open var defaultTextAttributes: [NSAttributedStringKey: Any] =
    [.font: UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body), .foregroundColor: UIColor.black]
    
/// The text attributes applied to highlighted substrings for each prefix
/// Default value applys blue tint highlighting to the `@` prefix
open var autocompleteTextAttributes: [Character: [NSAttributedStringKey: Any]] =
    ["@": [.font: UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body),
           .foregroundColor: UIColor(red: 0, green: 122/255, blue: 1, alpha: 1),
           .backgroundColor: UIColor(red: 0, green: 122/255, blue: 1, alpha: 0.1)]]

AutocompleteManagerDataSource

By default an AutocompleteCell is returned to the AutocompleteManager that's title labels text is bolded to match the entered text.

/// The autocomplete options for the registered prefix.
func autocompleteManager(_ manager: AutocompleteManager, autocompleteSourceFor prefix: Character) -> [AutocompleteCompletion]
    
/// The cell to populate the `AutocompleteTableView` with 
func autocompleteManager(_ manager: AutocompleteManager, tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath, for session: AutocompleteSession) -> UITableViewCell

AutocompleteManagerDelegate

/// Can be used to determine if the AutocompleteManager should be inserted into 
func autocompleteManager(_ manager: AutocompleteManager, shouldBecomeVisible: Bool)

Attachment Manager

The AttachmentManager is an easy way to display images or other additional content above the InputTextView

public enum Attachment {
    case image(UIImage)
    case url(URL)
    case data(Data)
    case other(AnyObject)
}

Customization

/// A flag you can use to determine if you want the manager to be always visible
open var isPersistent = false { didSet { attachmentView.reloadData() } }
    
/// A flag to determine if the AddAttachmentCell is visible
open var showAddAttachmentCell = true { didSet { attachmentView.reloadData() } }

Usage

/// Performs an animated insertion of an attachment at an index
open func insertAttachment(_ attachment: Attachment, at index: Int)
    
/// Performs an animated removal of an attachment at an index
open func removeAttachment(at index: Int)

AttachmentManagerDelegate

/// Can be used to determine if the AttachmentManager should be inserted into an InputStackView
func attachmentManager(_ manager: AttachmentManager, shouldBecomeVisible: Bool)

AttachmentManagerDataSource

/// The AttachmentCell for the attachment that is to be inserted into the AttachmentView
func attachmentManager(_ manager: AttachmentManager, cellFor attachment: AttachmentManager.Attachment, at index: Int) -> AttachmentCell

InputBarButtonItem

It is recommended that you use the InputBarButtonItem for the InputStackView 's. This is because all InputStackView's size their arranged subviews based on intrinsicContentSize:

This will layout the arrangedViews based on their intrinsicContentSize and if there is extra space the views will be expanded based on their content hugging UILayoutPriority.

Size

Each InputBarButtonItem's intrinsicContentSize can be overridden by setting the size property. It is optional so when set to nil the super.intrinsicContentSize will be used.

Spacing

Spacing can be set using the spacing property. This will change the content hugging UILayoutPriority and add extra space to the intrinsicContentSize when set to .fixed(CGFloat).

InputBarAccessoryViewDelegate

func inputBar(_ inputBar: InputBarAccessoryView, didPressSendButtonWith text: String)

// Useful for updating a UICollectionView or UITableView bottom inset    
func inputBar(_ inputBar: InputBarAccessoryView, didChangeIntrinsicContentTo size: CGSize)
    
func inputBar(_ inputBar: InputBarAccessoryView, textViewTextDidChangeTo text: String)
    
func inputBar(_ inputBar: InputBarAccessoryView, didSwipeTextViewWith gesture: UISwipeGestureRecognizer)
