Popover

Mac OS custom popover.

Install

Since this is a Swift Package, the installation process is pretty stright forward.

Manual way

Update your Package.swift dependencies:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/iSapozhnik/Popover", from: "1.0.8")
]

Via Xcode:

1. Go to File -> Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency.
2. Put GitHub URL https://github.com/iSapozhnik/Popover and click Next
3. Select the latest version
4. Click Finish

How to use

1. In your AppDelegate import Popover
2. Create a view you want to put into a status bar.
3. Create a content view controller which would be embedded inside Popover
4. Optionally create menu items
5. Create a Popover instance. Here you can use either standard configuration (you don't need to pass windowConfiguration parameter in this case) or you can subclass DefaultConfiguration, override some properties and pass a new instance as a parameter. If in ste 4 you have created menu items, pass it here as well.
6. Call prepare to set everything up.

And here is how typical AppDelegate may look like:

import Cocoa
import Popover

class MyPopoverConfiguration: DefaultConfiguration {
    override var backgroundColor: NSColor {
        return NSColor.systemRed
    }

    override var borderColor: NSColor? {
        return NSColor.red
    }
}

@NSApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {
    var popover: Popover!

    func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {
        let statusItemView = StatusItemView(frame: NSRect(width: 22.0, height: 20))

        let viewController = MainViewController()

        let menuItems: [Popover.MenuItemType] = [
            .item(Popover.MenuItem(title: "Settings", action: viewController.showSettings)),
            .separator,
            .item(Popover.MenuItem(title: "Quit", key: "q", action: viewController.quit))
        ]

        popover = Popover(with: MyPopoverConfiguration(), menuItems: menuItems)
        popover.prepare(with: statusItemView, contentViewController: viewController)
    }
}
