SwiftOverlays is a Swift GUI library for displaying various popups and notifications.
SwiftOverlays animated logo is kindly made by Crafted Pixels
SwiftOverlays provides several ways to notify user:
- Wait overlay: a simple overlay with activity indicator
- Wait overlay with text
- Overlay with text only
- Overlay with image and text (can be used with PPSwiftGifs to show custom animated GIF instead of UIActivityIndicatorView)
- All of the above with blocking any user interaction
- Notification on top of the status bar, similar to native iOS local/push notifications
Just clone and add SwiftOverlays.swift to your project.

If you're using CocoaPods, import the library with import SwiftOverlays
You can use UIViewController convenience methods provided by library:
// In your view controller:
// Wait overlay
self.showWaitOverlay()
// Wait overlay with text
let text = "Please wait..."
self.showWaitOverlayWithText(text)
// Overlay with text only
let text = "This is a text-only overlay...\n...spanning several lines"
self.showTextOverlay(text)
// Remove everything
self.removeAllOverlays()
// Notification on top of the status bar
UIViewController.showOnTopOfStatusBar(annoyingNotificationView!, duration: 5)
// Block user interaction
SwiftOverlays.showBlockingWaitOverlayWithText("This is blocking overlay!")
// Don't forget to unblock!
SwiftOverlays.removeAllBlockingOverlays()You can't use SwiftOverlays convenience methods directly with UITableViewController - because its view is, well, an UITableView, and overlay will be scrolled along with it.
Instead I suggest using UIViewController instead of UITableViewController and adding UITableView as a subview. (the same applies to UICollectionViewController)
If for some reason you can't use UIViewController, you can do something like:
if let superview = self.view.superview {
SwiftOverlays.showCenteredWaitOverlayWithText(superview, text: "Please wait...")
SwiftOverlays.removeAllOverlaysFromView(superview)
}(but in that case overlay will be added to the superview, and you should obviously do that only if superview is available - for example in viewDidAppear method of your controller.).
