How to fullscreen image and dismiss with swipe similar to Apple Photos - ios

Question

How can I implement the fullscreen image and dismiss image functionality of the Apple Photos? Additionally, how can I get the aspect ratio of an image to fit within a fullscreen view? Are they sending a UIImage to a new view controller?
My current method of fullscreening an image simply sets a UIImageView's frame equal to the superview's frame while turning the alphas of the UINavigationBar and UITabBar to 0. And to dismiss, I added a tap gesture recognizer that reverses the alphas and removes the UIImageView from the superview.
Here's my fullscreen and dismiss code
func fullscreen(forImage image: UIImage) {
let imageView = UIImageView(image: image)
imageView.frame = self.view.frame
imageView.backgroundColor = .black
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
imageView.clipsToBounds = true
imageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.alpha = 0
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.alpha = 0
let dismissTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(dismissFullscreenImage))
imageView.addGestureRecognizer(dismissTap)
self.view.addSubview(imageView)
}
#objc func dismissFullscreenImage(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
sender.view?.removeFromSuperview()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.alpha = 1
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.alpha = 1
}

This could easily be achieved using Apple's QuickLook framework as it works great for many extensions and collections of images.
Edit: Most of the functionality you want is built into the QLPreviewController
let previewController = QLPreviewController()
previewController.dataSource = self
self.present(previewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
The data source is whatever class conforms to the QLPreviewControllerDataSource protocol
Here is a video guide from apple on how to achieve this easily
Edit: This part goes in the previewItemAt function
guard let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "imageName", withExtension: "jpg")
else {
fatalError("Could not load imageName.jpg")
}
return url as QLPreviewItem
