KYDrawerController | Side Drawer Navigation Controller similar to Android | Navigation library

I have the following code

I am trying to make a left slide menu bar programmatically with no external plugins, but I can't seem to find any good tutorials on how to achieve this.

The slide menu will only be available on one view controller - which is the initial view controller.

I was hoping to make something like KYDrawerController. https://github.com/ykyouhei/KYDrawerController

The only reason I am put off using any cocoapods is that I am concerned about it will take a while for an update when the new versions of swift are released.

Does anyone know any good tutorials to make something like this or is it worth just using KYDrawerController?

I have the following use case. I am using the KYDrawerController library. I made a Drawer menu and its working nicely. My MainViewController is a UINavigationController. On the Toolbar/Navigation bar I got a hamburger icon to open the drawer menu. The drawer menu has items and when the user clicks it, it should open a screen.

In Android one would use fragments to replace the content when an item is selected, in that case the toolbar keeps the hamburger icon and the drawer controller can still easily be opened.

How could I implement this on Swift, is it a good idea to use a UINavigationController or is there a better alternative. The requirements are the following.

• When an item is selected, the toolbar title has to change and the drawer menu must still be accessible.
• When an item is selected, the content has to be replaced (with a ViewController)
• Each 'content' view controller can lead to subviews (detail/article view) in that case the hamburger icon should be replaced with a back button
• Should have no memory leaks

What would be the best solution for this? And does somebody have a code example for this.
