import STPopup

Initialize and present STPopupController
Objective-C

STPopupController *popupController = [[STPopupController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController];
[popupController presentInViewController:self];

Swift

let popupController = STPopupController(rootViewController: viewController)
popupController.present(in: self)

Set content size in view controller
Objective-C

@implementation ViewController

- (instancetype)init
{
    if (self = [super init]) {
        self.title = @"View Controller";
        self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Next" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(nextBtnDidTap)];
        // It's required to set content size of popup.
        self.contentSizeInPopup = CGSizeMake(300, 400);
        self.landscapeContentSizeInPopup = CGSizeMake(400, 200);
    }
    return self;
}

@end

Swift

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override init(nibName nibNameOrNil: String?, bundle nibBundleOrNil: Bundle?) {
        super.init(nibName: nibNameOrNil, bundle: nibBundleOrNil)
        title = "View Controller"
        navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Next", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(nextBtnDidTap))
        // It's required to set content size of popup.
        contentSizeInPopup = CGSize(width: 300, height: 400)
        landscapeContentSizeInPopup = CGSize(width: 400, height: 200)
    }
}

Set content size in storyboard or in awakeFromNib.
Storyboard

Push, pop and dismiss view controllers
Objective-C

[self.popupController pushViewController:[ViewController new] animated:YES];
[self.popupController popViewControllerAnimated:YES]; // Popup will be dismissed if there is only one view controller in the popup view controller stack
[self.popupController dismiss];

Swift

popupController?.push(viewController, animated: true)
popupController?.popViewController(animated: true) // Popup will be dismissed if there is only one view controller in the popup view controller stack
popupController?.dismiss()

Push & Pop

Bottom sheet style
Objective-C

STPopupController *popupController = [[STPopupController alloc] initWithRootViewController:[ViewController new]];
popupController.style = STPopupStyleBottomSheet;
[popupController presentInViewController:self];

Swift

let popupController = STPopupController(rootViewController: viewController)
popupController.style = .bottomSheet
popupController.present(in: self)

Bottom Sheet

Customize popup transition style
Objective-C

#pragma mark - STPopupControllerTransitioning

{
    return context.action == STPopupControllerTransitioningActionPresent ? 0.5 : 0.35;

    UIView *containerView = context.containerView;
    if (context.action == STPopupControllerTransitioningActionPresent) {
        containerView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(containerView.superview.bounds.size.width - containerView.frame.origin.x, 0);
        
        [UIView animateWithDuration:[self popupControllerTransitionDuration:context] delay:0 usingSpringWithDamping:1 initialSpringVelocity:1 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut animations:^{

// Use custom transitioning in popup controller
STPopupController *popupController = [[STPopupController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController];

Blur background
Objective-C

STPopupController *popupController = [[STPopupController alloc] initWithRootViewController:[PopupViewController1 new]];
if (NSClassFromString(@"UIBlurEffect")) {
    UIBlurEffect *blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleDark];
    popupController.backgroundView = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc] initWithEffect:blurEffect];
}

Swift

let popupController = let popupController = STPopupController(rootViewController: viewController)
if NSClassFromString("UIBlurEffect") != nil {
    let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .dark)
    popupController.backgroundView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
}

Action of tapping on area outside of popup
Objective-C

[popupController.backgroundView addGestureRecognizer:[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(backgroundViewDidTap)]];

popupController.backgroundView?.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(backgroundViewDidTap)))

Customize UI
Objective-C

[STPopupNavigationBar appearance].barTintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.20 green:0.60 blue:0.86 alpha:1.0];
[STPopupNavigationBar appearance].tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[STPopupNavigationBar appearance].barStyle = UIBarStyleDefault;
[STPopupNavigationBar appearance].titleTextAttributes = @{ NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Cochin" size:18], NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor whiteColor] };
    
[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[STPopupNavigationBar class], nil] setTitleTextAttributes:@{ NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Cochin" size:17] } forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Swift

STPopupNavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor(red: 0.2, green: 0.6, blue: 0.86, alpha: 1)
STPopupNavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
STPopupNavigationBar.appearance().barStyle = .default
STPopupNavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [
    .font: UIFont(name: "Cochin", size: 18) ?? .systemFont(ofSize: 18),
    .foregroundColor: UIColor.white,
]
UIBarButtonItem
    .appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [STPopupNavigationBar.self])
    .setTitleTextAttributes([
        .font: UIFont(name: "Cochin", size: 18) ?? .systemFont(ofSize: 18),
        ], for: .normal)
