Internal protection

[penpens]

I'm a n00bie in Swift and Xcode, and i can't understand the problem...
I can't call that function because is declared "internal", i tried to remove the internal declaration, but nothing.
Could someone help me?

Please use this code to get the position of panel.

rootController.rightPanelPosition = .front
rootController.rightPanelPosition = .back

[penpens]

It gives me nil while wrapping an Optional value at:
rootController.rightPanelPosition = .front

[fahidattique55]

It means your root controller is getting nil some how. Can you share the chunk of code specially the code where you are initialising the FAPanelController.

[fahidattique55]

Are you initialising the rootVC with storyboard or code ?

[penpens]

Do you mean this? Sorry I'm new in the iOS world

@IBAction func Login(_ sender: Any) {
        let mainS: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        let left: LeftMenuVC = mainS.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "LeftMenuVC") as! LeftMenuVC
        let right: RightMenuVC = mainS.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "RightMenuVC") as! RightMenuVC
        let center: CenterVC = mainS.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "CenterVC1") as! CenterVC
        _ = UINavigationController(rootViewController: center)
        
        let rootController = FAPanelController()
        rootController.center(center).left(left).right(right)
        
        window?.rootViewController = rootController
        
        let viewController:UIViewController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Start") as UIViewController
        // .instantiatViewControllerWithIdentifier() returns AnyObject! this must be downcast to utilize it
        self.present(viewController, animated: false, completion: nil)
    }

  let mainS: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        let left: LeftMenuVC = mainS.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "LeftMenuVC") as! LeftMenuVC
        let right: RightMenuVC = mainS.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "RightMenuVC") as! RightMenuVC
        let center: CenterVC = mainS.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "CenterVC1") as! CenterVC
        _ = UINavigationController(rootViewController: center)
        
        let rootController = FAPanelController()
        rootController.center(center).left(left).right(right)
        
        window?.rootViewController = rootController

The above code seems fine and I can see you are using FAPanelController using coding and not storyboard. Then you are presenting a new controller. Are you accessing the rootController in the presented controller ?

I think try accessing the current panel from the property self.panel which is optional and handle the optional validation.

[fahidattique55]

if you want to access the panel configurations then the controller must be a FAPanelController. For some how you are accessing the rootController which is not a panel.

I trying with code and storyboard
I attach some screens, I just took your classes and added to my project (with the library obv)
So everything should be like your sample project

import UIKit
import FAPanels

class CenterVC: UIViewController {
    
    //  MARK:- IBOutlets
    
    
    @IBOutlet var centerPanelOnlyAnimOpts: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet var centerPanelOnlyAnimDuration: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet var pickerView: UIPickerView!
    
    @IBOutlet var leftAllowableEdge: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet var rightAllowableEdge: UILabel!
    
    @IBOutlet var sidePanelsOpenAnimDuration: UILabel!
    
    @IBOutlet var leftPanelPositionSwitch: UISwitch!
    @IBOutlet var rightPanelPositionSwitch: UISwitch!
    
    var window: UIWindow?
    
    //  MARK:- Class Properties
    
    let mainStoryboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
    
    var pickerDataSource: [String] = ["flipFromLeft", "flipFromRight", "flipFromTop", "flipFromBottom", "curlUp", "curlDown", "crossDissolve", "moveRight", "moveLeft", "moveUp", "moveDown", "splitHorizotally", "splitVertically", "dumpFall", "boxFade"]
    

    //  MARK:- Life Cycle
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        viewConfigurations()
    }
    
    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }
    
    // MARK: - Functions
    
    func viewConfigurations() {
        
        pickerView.delegate = self
        pickerView.dataSource = self
        centerPanelOnlyAnimOpts.delegate = self
        centerPanelOnlyAnimOpts.inputView = pickerView
        
        panel!.rightPanelPosition = .front
        panel!.rightPanelPosition = .back
        
        //  Resetting the Panel Configs...
        
//        panel!.configs = FAPanelConfigurations()
//        panel!.configs.rightPanelWidth = 80
//        panel!.configs.bounceOnRightPanelOpen = false
//
//        panel!.delegate = self
    }
