UITabBarController with Hamburger menu/ Left sliding menu












1















I have an app with UITabBarController set as root controller. I need to have a hamburger menu no matter on which tab the user is. The question is - how to structure the app so that I don't have to repeat the hamburger menu code for every view controller - is there a way to do that? Only the gestures handling for opening and hiding the menu are around 100 lines of code. After a table view is added for the items in the hamburger menu I imagine it's going to be twice as that. Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

          I ended up using another View Controller as a parent view controller and adding the UITabBarController as a child view controller to it. Then I added the Hamburger menu to the parent view controller and set screenEdgePanGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = false for the gesture that opens the menu. On start of the gesture (state .began) I am setting the isHidden property of the menu view to false and call view.bringSubviewToFront(self.menuView) to have the menu over the views in the current tab.
