Code Example

A Sample NavigationBar with a back button and a title.

SBNavBarView * fakeNav = [[SBNavBarView alloc] init];
[self.view addSubview:fakeNav];
[fakeNav attachConstraints];
[fakeNav standardNavTitle:@"Sweet NavBar" withBackBtnSeletor:@selector(firstBtnClicked) forViewController:self];

More Setup examples are given in ViewDidLoad method of ViewController Class in Sample Project. Check those out for more understanding the customizing capabilities.

Motivation

UINavigationBar does not spare us the ability to fully customize naviagation bar as we want. Moreover with major version updates, its layout structure changes sometimes- which becomes a bit pain in the ass for existing projects. SBNavBar is a fake navBar ,which gives enormous customizing ability and stability for navigationBar controls.

Installation

Just Copy the NavBar folder in your project.
