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");

setPanningMode

Set the panning mode (drag animation).

mainWindow.setPanningMode("NoPanning");

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>

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

Change of offset.

centerViewDidShow

When an animation from the one of the side windows to the CenterWindow completes.
