A modern String Picker with search functionality. You are able to set the text alignment, background color, text color, font as well.
To let user choose an option in iOS you may choose a default UI which called UIPickerView. But configuring the UIPickerView with a good approach is not that easy. Few years back, I have found that ActionSheetPicker is useful. That library is combining UIActionSheet and UIPickerView.
But this is 2021. In my opinion, we should have better choice. After no longer using ActionSheetPicker, I made a list of options in another page with UITableView. Then instead of going to other page, I made DTStringPicker.
Hopefully, it will benefit many developer out there searching for ActionSheetPicker alternative.
This library is very useful atleast for me, for these kind of situations:
- You need to let your user choose more than 2 options
- You want to show the option with sections
- You want to let user search for an option
- You want to something modern
- Base SDK: iOS 12
- Deployment Target: iOS 12.0 or greater
Add following in your Podfile.
pod 'DTStringPicker', :git => 'https://github.com/didats/DTStringPicker'
// specify the strings
let rows = ["Number 1", "Another option 2", "The third choice", "4th item", "Other option", "Anything option"]
// create configuration
var config = DTStringPickerConfig(color: UIColor.black, background: UIColor.white)
config.title = "Choose one option"
config.alignment = .right
DTStringPicker.show(with: config, rowItems: rows.map({ DTStringPickerModelItem(text: $0) }), done: { item in
print("Item: \(item)")
}, cancel: {
print("Cancel ===")
}, from: self)// specify the strings
let rows: [DTStringPickerModelSection] = [
DTStringPickerModelSection(
title: "Header 1",
items: [
DTStringPickerModelItem(text: "Pilih satu dua"),
DTStringPickerModelItem(text: "Ini nomor dua"),
DTStringPickerModelItem(text: "Di sini nomor ketiga"),
]),
DTStringPickerModelSection(
title: "Second Header",
items: [
DTStringPickerModelItem(text: "Pilih satu dua"),
DTStringPickerModelItem(text: "Ini nomor dua"),
DTStringPickerModelItem(text: "Di sini nomor ketiga"),
]),
]
// custom ui
var config = DTStringPickerConfig(color: UIColor.black, background: UIColor.white)
config.title = "Choose one option"
config.alignment = .left
config.itemFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17, weight: .regular)
config.color = UIColor.black
config.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
config.shadowColor = UIColor.black
config.titleFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 30, weight: .bold)
config.titleColor = UIColor.black
config.sectionBackground = UIColor.init(red: 240/255, green: 240/255, blue: 240/255, alpha: 1)
config.sectionFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16, weight: .bold)
config.sectionColor = UIColor.black
DTStringPicker.show(with: config, rowSections: rows, done: { item in
print("Item: \(item)")
}, cancel: {
print("Cancel ===")
