StatusBarOverlay [](https://swift.org) ------------------------------  StatusBarOverlay will automatically show a "No Internet Connection" bar when your app loses connection, and hide it again. It supports apps which hide the status bar and The Notch ## Features * Just a few lines of code and StatusBarOverlay will automatically show & hide when internet connection is lost & regained * Support for apps that hide the status bar permanently * Support for the iPhone X Notch * Optionally you can choose to show the status bar anytime with custom text, eg for Debug or Demo modes * Optionally you can show a drop down message, below the status bar, with a click handle, great for nonintrusive alerts * Fully customisable colors & text ## How to install Add this to your CocoaPods Podfile ``` pod 'StatusBarOverlay' ``` ## How to use In your ```Info.plist``` file set ```UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance = true``` In your ```AppDelegate.didFinishLaunchingWithOptions()``` method set ```StatusBarOverlay.host``` to your server domain. StatusBarOverlay will use this to check connectivity ```swift func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool { StatusBarOverlay.host = "example.com" return true } ``` If you use a common UIViewController subclass, add the following to it. All of view controllers show override these methods, so its best to use a common UIViewController subclass ```swift import StatusBarOverlay // if StatusBarOverlay is in CocoaPod extension CommonViewController { override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle { return StatusBarOverlay.preferredStatusBarStyle } override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool { return StatusBarOverlay.prefersStatusBarHidden } override var preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation { return StatusBarOverlay.preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation } } ``` Thats it. Run your app, try turning on and off airplane mode and the No Internet Connection bar will show and hide. On the simulator sometimes the hiding event isnt fired. All devices work normally ## Dependencies * Reachability is required for the connectivity events ## Get these while stocks last :) A Codable extension to decode arrays and to catch & log all decoding failures https://github.com/IdleHandsApps/SafeDecoder An elegant solution for keeping views visible when the keyboard is being shown https://github.com/IdleHandsApps/IHKeyboardAvoiding Button styles that are centralied and reusable, and hooked up to InterfaceBuilder https://github.com/IdleHandsApps/DesignableButton ## Author * Fraser Scott-Morrison (fraserscottmorrison@me.com) It'd be great to hear about any cool apps that are using StatusBarOverlay ## License Distributed under the MIT License
