HGCircularSlider: A Novel Tool for Circular Slider Implementations in iOS Applications

the hgcircularslider library is a powerful asset for iOS developers, enabling the swift integration of circular sliders, thus augmenting the user engagement and input experience in applications.

Engaging user interfaces are the hallmark of successful mobile applications. Among the myriad of UI components, sliders play a pivotal role in capturing user inputs in a seamless and interactive manner. The hgcircularslider, an open-source library crafted meticulously by Hamza Ghazouani, elevates the slider experience by introducing a circular design. Tailored for iOS applications and built on the robust framework of SwiftUI, this library is a blend of aesthetics and simplicity.

Core Features:

  1. Versatile Styles: The hgcircularslider library offers an array of styles catering to diverse aesthetic preferences.
  2. Customizable Attributes: Tailor the circular slider attributes to align with the application’s theme effortlessly.

Getting started with hgcircularslider is a breeze. Import the module into your iOS project, and you are all set to enrich your application with circular sliders:

import SwiftUI
import hgcircularslider

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var value: Double = 0.5
    
    var body: some View {
        // Default style circular slider
        HGCircularSlider(value: $value)
        
        // Custom style circular slider
        HGCircularSlider(
            value: $value,
            style: .custom(
                backgroundColor: Color.red,
                fillColor: Color.green,
                thumbColor: Color.blue,
                thumbSize: 100,
            )
        )
    }
}

Additional functionalities add more feathers to its cap:

  • MinMax Values: Set the minimum and maximum limits to control the slider’s range.
  • Tick Mark Intervals: Define major and minor tick intervals to render a graduated slider.
// Setting MinMax values
HGCircularSlider(
    value: $value,
    maxValue: 100,
    minValue: 0,
)

// Setting tick intervals
HGCircularSlider(
    value: $value,
    majorTickInterval: 25,
    minorTickInterval: 10,
)

Moreover, the library facilitates fetching the current slider value, listening for value changes, and handling tap events on the slider with SwiftUI’s onAppear(), onChange(), and onTap() methods respectively:
