Modifying SwipeViewController Pod to run in a ContainerView - ios

Question

So im using this pod 'SwipeViewController' (https://github.com/fortmarek/SwipeViewController) that really gives me the effect that I want but the problem is that it only runs as the main navigation controller and I want it to work in a container view because I want to use it for this social app in the profile menu like twitter does with "My Tweets", "Likes", "Repost"...
so for example I need this...
https://camo.githubusercontent.com/f4eb2a8ba0a11e672d02a1ef600e62b5272a7843/687474703a2f2f696d6775722e636f6d2f5344496b6634622e676966
to work in here:
So just an explanation, to make the pod work you need to add this line of code to the appDelegate
let pageController = UIPageViewController(transitionStyle: .Scroll, navigationOrientation: .Horizontal, options: nil)
let navigationController = YourViewControllerName(rootViewController: pageController)
self.window?.rootViewController = navigationController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
wich creates a new window with the SwipeController, I need a way to make it work in a View controller.

I did something similar last night using the tutorial here:
https://cocoacasts.com/managing-view-controllers-with-container-view-controllers/
My associated code is below. I created an IBOutlet from the container view to my ViewController and then the code below adds the appropriate view controller to the container view depending on the setting of my Bool called buttonDefault. Make sure to add the child view to your container view and not the main view from the view controller.
#IBOutlet weak var containerView: UIView!
// MARK: Container View
// https://cocoacasts.com/managing-view-controllers-with-container-view-controllers/
lazy var remoteViewController: RemoteViewController = {
// Load Storyboard
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "MainStoryboard", bundle: nil)
// Instantiate View Controller
var viewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "RemoteViewController") as! RemoteViewController
// Add View Controller as Child View Controller
self.add(asChildViewController: viewController)
return viewController
}()
lazy var gestureRemoteViewController: GestureRemoteViewController = {
// Load Storyboard
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "MainStoryboard", bundle: nil)
// Instantiate View Controller
var viewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "GestureRemoteViewController") as! GestureRemoteViewController
// Add View Controller as Child View Controller
self.add(asChildViewController: viewController)
return viewController
}()
func add(asChildViewController viewController: UIViewController) {
// Add Child View Controller
addChildViewController(viewController)
// Add Child View as Subview
containerView.addSubview(viewController.view)
// Configure Child View
viewController.view.frame = containerView.bounds
viewController.view.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
// Notify Child View Controller
viewController.didMove(toParentViewController: self)
}
func remove(asChildViewController viewController: UIViewController) {
// Notify Child View Controller
viewController.willMove(toParentViewController: nil)
// Remove Child View From Superview
viewController.view.removeFromSuperview()
// Notify Child View Controller
viewController.removeFromParentViewController()
}
func updateView() {
let settings = Settings()
if settings.buttonDefault {
remove(asChildViewController: gestureRemoteViewController)
add(asChildViewController: remoteViewController)
} else {
remove(asChildViewController: remoteViewController)
add(asChildViewController: gestureRemoteViewController)
}
}
Once you add this just call updateView() in your viewDidLoad and any time the user selects a new option to view.
I hope this helps.
