Overview

Page view controller–navigation can be controlled programmatically by your app or directly by the user using gestures. When navigating from page to page, the page view controller uses the transition that you specify to animate the change.

When defining a page view controller interface, you can provide the content view controllers one at a time (or two at a time, depending upon the spine position and double-sided state) or as-needed using a data source. When providing content view controllers one at a time, you use the setViewControllers(_:direction:animated:completion:) method to set the current content view controllers. To support gesture-based navigation, you must provide your view controllers using a data source object.

The data source for a page view controller is responsible for providing the content view controllers on demand and must conform to the UIPageViewControllerDataSource protocol. The delegate object—an object that conforms to the UIPageViewControllerDelegate protocol—provides some appearance-related information and receives notifications about gesture-initiated transitions.

This class is generally used as-is, but can also be subclassed.
