MinimalistStatusBar

An extremely minimalist yet beautiful status bar.

MinimalistStatusBar provides a very easy to use, prepackaged framework. MinimalistStatusBar shows three data: the time, the type of internet connection, and the battery level. These cycle, fading in and out every 10 seconds.

Showing the status bar

It is recommended that you show the status bar in your App Delegate:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    MinimalistStatusBar.shared.isHidden = false
    return true
}

Make sure to hide the system status bar:

override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
    return true
}

The status bar can also be shown and hidden with MinimalistStatusBar.shared.setBlurHidden(_:animated:). The animation options are .fade, .slide, and .none.

Customizing the status bar

The status bar is ready out of the box, yet versatile:

MinimalistStatusBar.shared.statusBar.tintColor = UIColor.white
MinimalistStatusBar.shared.setBlurHidden(false, animated: false)
// Access to the view allows extremely high customization.
MinimalistStatusBar.shared.statusBar.view.backgroundColor = UIColor(colorLiteralRed: 0.259, green: 0.525, blue: 0.957, alpha: 1)

Required files

This requires the FontAwesome font. It can be found at fontawesome.io. To add the font to your Xcode project

1. Download the fonts folder from FontAwesome.
2. Drag FontAwesome.otf from the downloaded folder into your Xcode project and when prompted, check Copy items if needed, and check your target under Add to targets.
3. In your Info.plist, add a row Fonts provided by application. Open that row, and add an item with the string value FontAwesome.otf.

If for some reason this does not work, navigate to your project Build Phases, and make sure that FontAwesome.otf is under Copy Bundle Resources. If not, press the + button and select it.
