MenuBuilder

A simple DSL for NSMenu and NSMenuItem.

Installation

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate MenuBuilder into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "zetasq/MenuBuilder"

Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built MenuBuilder.framework into your Xcode project.

Usage

Setup a NSMenu's items

// Create an NSMenu and open a context to create items
let rootMenu = NSMenu().withBuildContext { context in
  // Create a submenu in the current context
  context.addSubmenu(title: "Test") { context in
    // Add "About Test" menuitem in the current submenu context
    context.addItem(title: "About Test", action: #selector(NSApplication.orderFrontStandardAboutPanel(_:)))

    // Add a separator menuitem
    context.addSeparator()

    // Add several other items
    context.addItem(title: "Hide Test", action: #selector(NSApplication.hide(_:)), baseKey: "h", keyModifiers: [.command])
    context.addItem(title: "Hide Others", action: #selector(NSApplication.hideOtherApplications(_:)), baseKey: "h", keyModifiers: [.option, .command])
    context.addItem(title: "Show All", action: #selector(NSApplication.unhideAllApplications(_:)))
    context.addItem(title: "Quit Test", action: #selector(NSApplication.terminate(_:)), baseKey: "q", keyModifiers: .command)
  }
}

// Assign the rootMenu to the application's mainMenu
NSApplication.shared().mainMenu = rootMenu
