FolioReaderKit is an ePub reader and parser framework for iOS written in Swift.

Installation

FolioReaderKit is available through CocoaPods and Carthage.

Cocoapods

To install it, simply add the following lines to your Podfile:

use_frameworks!
pod 'FolioReaderKit'

Carthage

1. Add the following to your Cartfile

   github "FolioReader/FolioReaderKit"
   

2. Run carthage update and follow the steps as described in Carthage's README.

Requirements

• iOS 8.0+
• Xcode 7.1+

Basic Usage

To get started, this is a simple usage sample.

import FolioReaderKit

func open(sender: AnyObject) {
    let config = FolioReaderConfig()
    let bookPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("book", ofType: "epub")
    FolioReader.presentReader(parentViewController: self, withEpubPath: bookPath!, andConfig: config)
}

In your AppDelegate call applicationWillResignActive and applicationWillTerminate. This will save the reader state even if you kill the app.

import FolioReaderKit

func applicationWillResignActive(application: UIApplication) {
    FolioReader.applicationWillResignActive()
}

func applicationWillTerminate(application: UIApplication) {
    FolioReader.applicationWillTerminate()
}
