Reference

For more detailed code examples take a look into the example app

centerWindow, leftWindow, rightWindow

NappSlideMenu does not require you to use the 3 windows. You can also use either the combo of center/left or center/right for your desired needs.

leftLedge, rightLedge (optinal)

Ledge is used to define the maximum amount the view can be opened. Default is 65 if no number is defined.

var mainWindow = NappSlideMenu.createSlideMenuWindow({
	centerWindow:navController,
	leftWindow:winLeft,
	rightWindow:winRight,
	statusBarStyle: NappSlideMenu.STATUSBAR_WHITE,
	leftLedge:100
});

API Properties

setCenterWindow, setLeftWindow, setRightWindow

A method that allow change of the centerWindow. You can either use a window or a navigation group.

var newWin = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor: "#FF0000"
};
mainWindow.setCenterWindow(newWin);

setLeftLedge, setRightLedge

Update the ledge numbers with these methods.

mainWindow.setLeftLedge(120);

setCenterhiddenInteractivity

Set different types of interactivity for the centerWindow when either leftWindow or rightWindow is open.

mainWindow.setCenterhiddenInteractivity("TouchEnabled");
input (string)Description
TouchEnabledthe centerWindow stays interactive
TouchDisabledthe centerWindow will become nonresponsive to useractions
TouchDisabledWithTapToClosethe centerWindow will become nonresponsive to useractions, but will allow the user to tap it so that it closes
TouchDisabledWithTapToCloseBouncingsame as TouchDisabledWithTapToClose, but closes the center view bouncing

setPanningMode

Set the panning mode (drag animation).

mainWindow.setPanningMode("NoPanning");
input (string)Description
NoPanningNo panning allowed
FullViewPanningDefault behavior: Touch anywhere in the center view to drag the center view around
NavigationBarPanningPanning only occurs when you start touching in the navigation bar (when the center controller is a UINavigationController with a visible navigation bar). Otherwise it will behave as IIViewDeckNoPanning.
NavigationBarOrOpenCenterPanningPanning occurs when you start touching the navigation bar if the centerWindow is visible. If the left or right controller is open, pannning occurs anywhere on the center controller, not just the navbar.

setParallaxAmount

Parallax is the amount of parallax between the centerWindow and a sideWindow animation. Set a value between 0 and 1. Its a very cool effect. Play with the slider in the example code to see the effect!

mainWindow.setParallaxAmount(0.3);

setOpenViewAnimationDuration

Set the duration of the animation when leftWindow or rightWindow is opened. It takes a float as argument

mainWindow.setOpenViewAnimationDuration(0.3);

setCloseViewAnimationDuration

Set the duration of the animation when leftWindow or rightWindow is closed. It takes a float as argument

mainWindow.setCloseViewAnimationDuration(0.3);

StatusBarStyle

Use this property to set the statusBar style. You will need to add the following to tiapp.xml in order to make this work:

<ios>
    <plist>
	    <dict>
    	    <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
            <false/>
        </dict>
    </plist>
</ios>
input (constant)Description
STATUSBAR_BLACKThe statusbar icons and text will be black
STATUSBAR_WHITEThe statusbar icons and text will be white
mainWindow.setStatusBarStyle(NappSlideMenu.STATUSBAR_WHITE);

API Methods

toggleLeftView, toggleRightView

toggleLeftView() and toggleRightView() are used to toggle each visibility of either the left or right window.

toggleOpenView

toggleOpenView() toggles the open window. A method to come from LeftWindow to RightWindow or opposite.

mainWindow.toggleOpenView();

bounceLeftView, bounceRightView, bounceTopView, bounceBottomView

A small animation to show the app user that its possible to interact with the NappSlideMenu.

mainWindow.bounceLeftView();

isAnyViewOpen, isLeftViewOpen, isRightViewOpen

Check if any, left or right window is open. This returns a boolean.

mainWindow.isAnyViewOpen();

Events

viewWillOpen

When leftWindow or rightWindow will be opened, this event is fired with the view event parameter.

Here, you can block centerWindow, for example.

mainWindow.addEventListener("viewWillOpen", function(e) {
	this.setCenterhiddenInteractivity("TouchDisabledWithTapToClose");
});

viewDidOpen

When the leftWindow or rightWindow did open. The animation has completed.

viewWillClose

When the leftWindow or rightWindow will be closed, this event is fired with the view event parameter.

Here, you can blur a searchBar in leftWindow, for example.

mainWindow.addEventListener("viewWillClose", function(e) {
	this.setCenterhiddenInteractivity("TouchEnabled");
});

viewDidClose

When the leftWindow or rightWindow did open. The animation has completed.

didChangeOffset
