UICollectionView-based image carousel written in Swift

• Horizontal-scrolling carousel with pinch & zoom capabilities
• Synchronous or asynchronous image loading (works with local or remote images)
• Embedded or full-screen mode

If you are using Cocoapods, simply add the line below to your Podfile, then type 'pod install':

pod 'MVCarouselCollectionView'

Alternatively, you can install this as a git submodule by following these steps:

• git submodule add https://github.com/bizz84/MVCarouselCollectionView.git
• Drag the MVCarouselCollectionView.xcodeproj file into your XCode project (XCode will ask to create a workspace file if your project does not have one already)
• Under the main app target, open the General tab and add MVCarouselCollectionView under the Embedded Binaries section
• Build the MVCarouselCollectionView target

Below is a sample implementation of a view controller using MVCarouselCollectionView. See the demo application for a more advanced usage example.

class CarouselViewController: UIViewController, MVCarouselCollectionViewDelegate {

    // Local images
    let imagePaths = [ "image1.png", "image2.png", "image3.png" ]
    // Closure to load local images with UIImage.named
    let imageLoader: ((imageView: UIImageView, imagePath : String, completion: (newImage: Bool) -> ()) -> ()) = {
      (imageView: UIImageView, imagePath : String, completion: (newImage: Bool) -> ()) in

        imageView.image = UIImage(named:imagePath)
        completion(newImage: imageView.image != nil)
    }

    @IBOutlet var collectionView : MVCarouselCollectionView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        configureCollectionView()
    }

    func configureCollectionView() {
    
        collectionView.selectDelegate = self
        collectionView.imagePaths = imagePaths
        collectionView.commonImageLoader = self.imageLoader
        collectionView.maximumZoom = 2.0
        collectionView.reloadData()
    }
    // MARK:  MVCarouselCollectionViewDelegate
    func carousel(carousel: MVCarouselCollectionView, didSelectCellAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {

        // Do something with cell selection
    }
    
    func carousel(carousel: MVCarouselCollectionView, didScrollToCellAtIndex cellIndex : NSInteger) {

        // Page changed, can use this to update page control
    }
}

MVCarouselCollectionView was designed to be used with paging enabled. Please ensure the following properties are set:

• Paging Enabled = true
• Min spacing between cells = 0
• Min spacing between lines = 0

MVCarouselCollectionView was tested under XCode 6.1 and requires iOS 8.0 or greater.
