Is it possible to add pages dynamically ? about pageboy HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @AndresCianio

The way that PageboyViewControllerDataSource currently works doesn't make this sort of thing simple, but it is possible.. By calling reloadPages you can refresh the entire data source, calling viewControllers(forPageboyViewController:) and defaultPageIndex(forPageboyViewController) again.

In theory, you could handle this removal/addition behaviour by keeping a list of all view controllers in your PageboyViewController subclass and returning a subset of this list in viewControllers(forPageboyViewController:) according to your current state.

I do think that this is an interesting use-case, I'll raise it as an enhancement and see if I can provide support for this in a better way.

Hi @msaps ! Thanks a lot for the super quick answer!! I really appreciate it!
I just managed to get it working :D and I think I mostly did the same you are suggesting.

Playing around with the demo I ended up making the following changes (in case you want to try it out, or somebody ends up here at some point):

1. define a method addPage() in the PageVC. Virtually this method would add a new controller to an array of pages, but here I just increment numberOfPages by one (made it var) and then call reloadPages().
2. add a button in ChildVC and a 'myDelegate' reference to the PageVC. When the button is tapped I call myDelegate.addPage
3. when creating each controller, set the myDelegate reference to self.
4. in func defaultPageIndex(forPageboyViewController pageboyViewController: PageboyViewController) -> PageboyViewController.PageIndex? instead of just returning nil, if the currentIndex is defined, I return PageIndex.atIndex(index: currentIndex); otherwise keep returning nil.

I'd tweak the whole solution to my specifics (ie an array of pages instead of creating them), but I think this works perfectly, and love your lib!

What do you think?

It is working as expected with the explanation above... Closing 😃
