### Custom Tab Bar Controller Setup

Source: https://github.com/eggswift/estabbarcontroller/wiki/Home

Subclass ESTabBarController to manage your view controllers and assign custom tab bar items. This example sets up five view controllers with custom tab bar items using the TabBarContentView.

```swift
class MyCustomTabBar: ESTabBarController{
override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        let v1 = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Home1") as! Home1
        let v2 = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Screen2") as! Screen2
        let v3 = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Screen3") as! Screen3
        let v4 = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Screen4") as! Screen4
        let v5 = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Screen5") as! Screen5
        
        
        v1.tabBarItem = ESTabBarItem.init(TabBarContentView(), title: "Home", image: UIImage(named: "home"), selectedImage: UIImage(named: "home2"))
        v2.tabBarItem = ESTabBarItem.init(TabBarContentView(), title: "Screen2", image: UIImage(named: "Screen2"), selectedImage: UIImage(named: "Screen2"))
        v3.tabBarItem = ESTabBarItem.init(TabBarContentView(), title: "Screen3", image: UIImage(named: "Screen3"), selectedImage: UIImage(named: "Screen3"))
        v4.tabBarItem = ESTabBarItem.init(TabBarContentView(), title: "Screen4", image: UIImage(named: "Screen4"), selectedImage: UIImage(named: "Screen4"))
        v5.tabBarItem = ESTabBarItem.init(TabBarContentView(), title: "Screen5", image: UIImage(named: "Screen5"), selectedImage: UIImage(named: "Screen5"))
        
        
        self.viewControllers = [v1,v2,v3,v4,v5]
        self.delegate = self

    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Install via Swift Package Manager

Source: https://github.com/eggswift/estabbarcontroller/blob/master/README.md

Add the ESTabBarController library to your project using Swift Package Manager by specifying the repository URL and version.

```swift
dependencies: [
    .package(name: "ESTabBarController", url: "https://github.com/eggswift/ESTabBarController.git", from: "2.9.0-spm")
]
```

--------------------------------

### Install via CocoaPods

Source: https://github.com/eggswift/estabbarcontroller/blob/master/README.md

Integrate ESTabBarController into your project using CocoaPods by adding the specified pod name to your Podfile.

```ruby
pod "ESTabBarController-swift"
```

--------------------------------

### Custom Tab Bar Item View

Source: https://github.com/eggswift/estabbarcontroller/wiki/Home

Subclass ESTabBarItemContentView to define the visual appearance and animations for your tab bar items. This example implements a bounce animation on selection.

```swift
class TabBarContentView: ESTabBarItemContentView {
    public var duration = 0.3
    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        
        //define the text label and icon color for normal and highlighted mode.
        textColor = UIColor(red:0.38, green:0.49, blue:0.55, alpha:1.0) //Or whatever color you want
        highlightTextColor = UIColor.red ////Or whatever color you want
        iconColor = UIColor(red:0.38, green:0.49, blue:0.55, alpha:1.0) //Or whatever color you want
        highlightIconColor = UIColor.red ////Or whatever color you want
    }
    
    public required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
    
    override func selectAnimation(animated: Bool, completion: (() -> ())?) {
        self.bounceAnimation()
        completion?()
    }
    
    override func reselectAnimation(animated: Bool, completion: (() -> ())?) {
        self.bounceAnimation()
        completion?()
    }
    
    func bounceAnimation() {
        let impliesAnimation = CAKeyframeAnimation(keyPath: "transform.scale")
        impliesAnimation.values = [1.0 ,1.4, 0.9, 1.15, 0.95, 1.02, 1.0]
        impliesAnimation.duration = duration * 2
        impliesAnimation.calculationMode = kCAAnimationCubic
        imageView.layer.add(impliesAnimation, forKey: nil)
    }
}
```

### Instantiate and Configure View Controller with ESTabBarItem

Source: https://github.com/eggswift/estabbarcontroller/wiki/Home

This snippet shows how to instantiate a view controller, assign a custom tab bar item with a title and images, and use a custom ESTabBarItemContentView.

```swift
let v1 = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "HomeVC") as! HomeVC
v1.tabBarItem = ESTabBarItem.init(TabBarContentView(), title: "Home", image: UIImage(named: "home"), selectedImage: UIImage(named: "home2"))
```

--------------------------------

### Assign View Controllers to ESTabBarController

Source: https://github.com/eggswift/estabbarcontroller/wiki/Home

This snippet demonstrates how to set the array of view controllers for the ESTabBarController and assign the delegate.

```swift
self.viewControllers = [v1,v2,v3,v4,v5]
self.delegate = self
```

--------------------------------

### Custom Tab Bar Controller Delegate Implementation

Source: https://github.com/eggswift/estabbarcontroller/wiki/Home

Implement the UITabBarControllerDelegate protocol for your custom ESTabBarController subclass to handle tab bar controller delegate methods, such as animation controllers for view controller transitions.

```swift
extension MyCustomTabBar : UITabBarControllerDelegate{
      func tabBarController(_ tabBarController: UITabBarController, animationControllerForTransitionFrom fromVC: UIViewController, to toVC: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
          //....your delegate code
    }

    //other delegate methods as required....
}
```
