Since Facebook introduced reactions in 2016, it became a standard in several applications as a way for users to interact with content. ReactionButton is a control that allows developers to add this functionality to their apps in an easy way.

• Support of Dark Mode
• Customizable layout using ReactionButtonDelegateLayout
• Extensible DataSource for the control
• Layout support for scrolling interfaces (UICollectionView/UITableView)
• Codable initializer for usage on storyboards
• Events

• iOS 13.0+
• Swift 5.0+

• Installation guide

There are multiple ways to instantiate a ReactionButton, using a frame, storyboards, or an empty convenience initializer.

let buttonSample = ReactionButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))
buttonSample.dataSource = self
view.addSubview(buttonSample)

let buttonSample = ReactionButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))
buttonSample.delegate = self
view.addSubview(buttonSample)

ReactionButton allows customization of the layout with the help of ReactionButtonDelegateLayout. To use it, please conform to that protocol and set it as delegate (Same pattern as UICollectionView).

func ReactionSelectorConfiguration(_ selector: ReactionButton) -> ReactionButton.Config {
  ReactionButton.Config(spacing: 2,
                        size: 30,
                        minSize: 34,
                        maxSize: 45,
                        spaceBetweenComponents: 30)
}
