TiSideMenu

** iOS 7 / 8 ONLY **

iOS 7 / 8 style side menu with parallax effect.

Wrapper module for the great RESideMenu

Since 1.2 this module supports both left and right menu views.

Usage

Use TiSideMenu as a replacement for your root window.

var contentView = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	background: 'red'
});

var leftMenuView    = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	background: 'transparent'
});
var rightMenuView    = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	background: 'transparent'
});

var win = TiSideMenu.createSideMenu({
	contentView: 		contentView,
	leftMenuView: 		leftMenuView,
	rightMenuView: 		rightMenuView,
	backgroundImage: 	'stars.png',
	contentViewScaleValue: 0.2,
	scaleContentView: true,		
	panGestureEnabled: false,	
	scaleBackgroundImageView: false,
	scaleMenuView: true,		
	parallaxEnabled: false,
	panFromEdge: true,
});
win.open();

Replacing the content window

• Setting the content window without animation Default

    win.setContentWindow(newWin);
  

• Setting the content window with an animation

    win.setContentWindow({
    		window: newWin,
    		animated: true 
    });
