How to use MBProgressHUD with swift?

iOSiPhone/iPadMobile DevelopmentSwift

To use MBProgressHUD in swift we first need to create a podfile if it does not exist already.

Go to terminal and change directory to your project directory then initialize pod and later install MBProgressHUD.

cd /projectDirectory
pod init
open podfile

Then in the podfile add the following line and go back to the terminal and run the below command in the same directory.

pod 'MBProgressHUD', '~> 1.1.0'
pod install

Once you run these commands MBProgressHUD will be installed to your project, now you can import this library in ViewController where ever you want to use, or you may create an extension of UIView controller and use this method.

Let’s see this with two different methods, both of which will produce the same result.

1. Adding in ViewDidLoad

let Indicator = MBProgressHUD.showAdded(to: self.view, animated: true)
Indicator.label.text = "Indicator"
Indicator.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
Indicator.detailsLabel.text = "fetching details"
Indicator.show(animated: true)

Similarly, you may use the following to hide indicator from the view.

MBProgressHUD.hide(for: self.view, animated: true)

Let’s have a look at the second way of doing the same.

2. Creating an extension to make it globally accessible.

extension UIViewController {
   func showIndicator(withTitle title: String, and Description:String) {
      let Indicator = MBProgressHUD.showAdded(to: self.view, animated: true)
      Indicator.label.text = title
      Indicator.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
      Indicator.detailsLabel.text = Description
      Indicator.show(animated: true)
   }
   func hideIndicator() {
      MBProgressHUD.hide(for: self.view, animated: true)
   }
}

When we run any of these on our device, we get the following result.
