How to create Side Menu on right side in Swift 3.0?

Question

I am a beginner and I wanted to create a side menu on the right side.

So far I have a UIButton on right top side of viewController, what I want is when I click that button I want to show/hide slide menu with say 3 items…

when I click each item it will go to the different view controller. In my project, i am showing slide menu in only one viewController using AMSlideMenu. Thanks in advance.

Anuj just follow the steps-

1. Create a SideMenuViewController which is sub class of UIViewController , using storyboard how it will look according to the requirement.
2. Add this SideMenuViewController and its view as a child view controller in parent view controller by UIButton click.
3. When you done, remove SideMenuViewController from parent View controller and remove its view from parent view.

Repeat 2 and 3 for all view controllers.

Updated code :

Declare in your view controller -

var sideMenuViewController = SideMenuViewController()
var isMenuOpened:Bool = false

In viewDidLoad

    sideMenuViewController = storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SideMenuViewController") as! SideMenuViewController
    sideMenuViewController.view.frame = UIScreen.main.bounds

In your button Clicked event -

  func openAndCloseMenu(){

    if(isMenuOpened){

        isMenuOpened = false
        sideMenuViewController.willMove(toParentViewController: nil)
        sideMenuViewController.view.removeFromSuperview()
        sideMenuViewController.removeFromParentViewController()

    }
    else{

        isMenuOpened = true
        self.addChildViewController(sideMenuViewController)
        self.view.addSubview(sideMenuViewController.view)
        sideMenuViewController.didMove(toParentViewController: self)
     }

}

For Animation:

let transition = CATransition()

let withDuration = 0.5

transition.duration = withDuration
transition.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut)
transition.type = kCATransitionPush
transition.subtype = kCATransitionFromLeft

sideMenuViewController.view.layer.add(transition, forKey: kCATransition)
