How to use ProMotion-Menu?


I did an new project only with the code shown in the Promotion-Menu's Readme. I have this :

# app_delegate.rb
class AppDelegate < PM::Delegate
  def on_load(app, options)
    @menu = open MenuDrawer
  end

  def show_menu
    @menu.show :left
  end
end

#menu_drawer.rb
class MenuDrawer < PM::Menu::Drawer

  def setup
    self.center = HomeScreen.new(nav_bar: true)
    self.left = NavigationScreen
    self.to_show = [:pan_bezel, :pan_nav_bar]
    self.transition_animation = :swinging_door
    self.max_left_width = 250
    self.shadow = false
  end

end

#navigation_screen.rb
class NavigationScreen < ProMotion::TableScreen

  def table_data
    [{
      title: nil,
      cells: [{
        title: 'OVERWRITE THIS METHOD',
        action: :swap_center_controller,
        arguments: HomeScreen
      }]
    }]
  end

  def swap_center_controller(screen_class)
    app_delegate.menu.center_controller = screen_class
  end

end

My app is running but there is no sidebar as you can see here :

Did I miss something ?


Solution

  • No. What you have there should be working. You'll have to pan the bezel or nav bar to reveal the left controller (which is hidden when you first open the app). I've been thinking about adding a menu button to the examples to make this a little bit clearer. Here's how that might work:

    # home_screen.rb
    class HomeScreen < PM::Screen
      title "Home"
    
      def on_load
        set_nav_bar_button :right, title: "Menu", action: :open_menu
      end
    
      def open_menu
        app_delegate.show_menu
      end
    end
    
    # navigation_screen.rb
    class NavigationScreen < ProMotion::TableScreen
      def table_data
        [{
          title: nil,
          cells: [{
            title: 'HomeScreen',
            action: :swap_center_controller,
            arguments: HomeScreen.new(nav_bar: true)
          },{
            title: 'HelpScreen',
            action: :swap_center_controller,
            arguments: HelpScreen.new(nav_bar: true)
          }]
        }]
      end
    
      def swap_center_controller(screen)
        app_delegate.menu.center_controller = screen
        app_delegate.menu.hide
      end
    end
    

    Your AppDelegate and MenuDrawer would remain unchanged.
