Parchment Overview
Parchment lets you page between view controllers while showing any type of generic indicator that scrolls along with the content. Here are some benefits of using Parchment:
-
Highly customizable
The menu items are built using UICollectionView, which means you can display pretty much whatever you want. You can even subclass the layout to create completely custom behaviours. -
Memory-efficient:
Parchment only allocates view controllers when they’re needed, meaning if you have a lot of view controllers you don’t have to initialize them all up-front. -
Infinite scrolling:
Because view controllers are only allocated as you are scrolling, you can create data sources that are infinitely large. This is perfect for things like calendars.
