DDCoachMarks
============

Quick and easy coach marks to use in any iOS app
Quick and easy coach marks to use in any iOS app.


## Requirements
DDCoachMarks works on any iOS version and is built with ARC. It depends on the following Apple frameworks:

* Foundation.framework
* UIKit.framework
* QuartzCore.framework

## Adding DDCoachMarks to your project

1. Copy the source files in the Coach Marks folder into your project.
2. Include the coach marks wherever you need it by using `#import "DDCoachMarksView.h"`

## Example
Create a new DDCoachMarksView instance and pass in an array of coach mark definitions

```objective-c
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidLoad];

// ...

// Setup coach marks
NSArray *coachMarks = @[
@{
@"rect": [NSValue valueWithCGRect:CGRectMake(6, 24, 40, 40)],
@"caption": @"Synchronize your mail",
@"shape": @"circle"
},
@{
@"rect": [NSValue valueWithCGRect:CGRectMake(275, 24, 40, 40)],
@"caption": @"Create a new message",
@"shape": @"circle",
},
@{
@"rect": [NSValue valueWithCGRect:CGRectMake(0, 125, 320, 60)],
@"caption": @"Swipe for more options",
@"shape": @"square",
@"swipe": @"YES"
},
];

DDCoachMarksView *coachMarksView = [[DDCoachMarksView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds coachMarks:coachMarks];
[self.view addSubview:coachMarksView];
[coachMarksView start];
}
```

If you want to add the coach marks to a view controller that is part of a navigation controller, you need to add it to the navigation controller's view like this...
```objective-c
DDCoachMarksView *coachMarksView = [[DDCoachMarksView alloc] initWithFrame:self.navigationController.view.bounds coachMarks:coachMarks];
[self.navigationController.view addSubview:coachMarksView];
[coachMarksView start];
```
You also might need to change the coordinates of the CGRect values you passed into the coach marks array using the method shown below.
```objective-c
// translate values to navigation controller
CGRect navFrame = [self.view convertRect:button.frame toView:navController.view];
```

You can configure any coach mark properties before call the `start` method. For example:
```objective-c
coachMarksView.animationDuration = 0.5f;
coachMarksView.maskColor = [UIColor blueColor];
coachMarksView.useBubbles = NO;
[coachMarksView start];
```

## Configuration
When creating your array of dictionary definitions for each coach mark only the `@"rect"` value is required.
Other optional values are:
* `@"caption"`
** Text that goes in the bubbles
* `@"shape"`
** Can be set to circle or square. If nothing is defined, the default is a rounded rect.
* `@"POI"`
** Stands for 'point of interest'. You can define a whole region using the `@"rect"` value, but defining a different CGRect value here makes the bubble caption position itself under the POI rect.
* `@"swipe"`
** Use "YES" here if you want to show a row swipe gesture on a table view cell. Disabled by default.

## DDCoachMarksViewDelegate

If you'd like to take a certain action when a specific coach mark comes into view, your view controller can implement the DDCoachMarksViewDelegate.

### 1. Conform your view controller to the DDCoachMarksViewDelegate protocol:

`@interface MainViewController : UIViewController <DDCoachMarksViewDelegate>`

### 2. Assign the delegate to your coach marks view instance:

`coachMarksView.delegate = self;`

### 3. Implement the delegate protocol methods:

*Note: All of the methods are optional. Implement only those that are needed.*

- `- (void)coachMarksView:(DDCoachMarksView*)coachMarksView willNavigateToIndex:(NSUInteger)index`
- `- (void)coachMarksView:(DDCoachMarksView*)coachMarksView didNavigateToIndex:(NSUInteger)index`
- `- (void)coachMarksViewWillCleanup:(DDCoachMarksView*)coachMarksView`
- `- (void)coachMarksViewDidCleanup:(DDCoachMarksView*)coachMarksView`
