MenuKit

A menu and order framework optimized for encoding into barcodes.

MenuKit Sampler

A MenuSampler iOS application is included that demonstrates the core components of MenuKit. See the wiki for more details.

TODO: this is a work in progress.

Project Integration

You can integrate MenuKit via CocoaPods.

via CocoaPods

Install CocoaPods if not already available:

$ [sudo] gem install cocoapods
$ pod setup

Change to the directory of your Xcode project, and create a file named Podfile with contents similar to this:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.4'
pod 'MenuKit/All'

That will pull in the default Core subspec in addition to various other subspecs. You can tweak this list as needed, for example if you don't want to use the RestKit integration you can omit the 'RestKit' subspec.

Install into your project:

$ pod install

Open your project in Xcode using the .xcworkspace file CocoaPods generated.

CocoaPod subspecs

MenuKit is divided into several CocoaPod components, or subspecs.

1. Core - this is the default spec if you don't specify anything else. It contains the core domain objects, without any user-interface related code.

2. UI - provides various user interface support such as views and view controllers to help build a MenuKit-powered app.

3. RestKit - provides integration with JSON object mapping via the RestKit project. MenuKit only depends on the RestKit/ObjectMapping subspec, and as such does not pull in the full RestKit stack, such as networking support. This is because MenuKit integrates with AFNetworking version 2 but RestKit networking depends on AFNetworking version 1.

4. AFNetworking - provides integration with AFNetworking version 2 to support network requests for menu resources.
