What it is

Persei is an animated top menu component for iOS (UITableView, UICollectionView, UIScrollView) written in Swift that displays interactive menu items with smooth reveal/collapse animations. It provides a reusable MenuView that can be added as a subview to scroll containers, allowing users to filter or navigate content via an elegant animated menu bar. Simple focused library: root /Persei directory contains the Swift framework sources (inferred, not fully visible), /Example contains a complete iOS app demonstrating MenuView with TableViewController, CollectionViewController, and AppDelegate. External UIImage utility (Objective-C bridge) in /Example/External shows legacy integration patterns.

Start here

Open these first:

• Example/Example/Controllers/TableViewController.swift — Primary example implementation showing how to integrate Persei menu with UITableView; demonstrates core API usage and menu…
• Example/Example/Controllers/CollectionViewController.swift — Secondary example showing Persei integration with UICollectionView; illustrates alternative scroll view attachment patterns
• Example/Example/Misc/Animation/CircularRevealTransition.swift — Core animation logic for the circular reveal effect that defines Persei's signature visual behavior
• Example/Example/AppDelegate.swift — Application entry point; sets up the example app structure and initial view controller navigation
• .travis.yml — Build and CI configuration; defines Swift version compatibility matrix and test execution

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/Yalantis/Persei.git
cd Persei
cd Example
pod install  # if using CocoaPods
open Example.xcworkspace
# Build and run in Xcode (Cmd+R)

Or: pod 'Persei', '~> 4.0' in your Podfile, run pod install, then import Persei.

Daily commands:

In Xcode (Example/Example.xcodeproj): Select 'Example' scheme, press Cmd+R. Alternatively: xcodebuild -project Example/Example.xcodeproj -scheme Example -destination 'generic/platform=iOS'.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 6y ago
• Bridging Header (Example-Bridging-Header.h): Project includes Objective-C compatibility layer for UIImage+Autoresize extension—be aware when modifying assets or image handling. iOS 7 Support: Manual…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
