DrawerController

DrawerController is a swift version of the popular MMDrawerController by Mutual Mobile.

Some minor changes in this version include the removal of all < iOS 7.0 related code and the use of spring animations instead of ease-in-ease-out animations. We've also added an animated BarButtonItem and plan to enable additional features for regular horizontal size classes (i.e. iPad and iPhone 6 Plus in landscape).

This is currently a work in progress and has not been thoroughly tested. Use at your own risk.

ECSlidingViewController

Popular menu implementation but since it's objc and non currently maintained, probably something we should skip.

https://github.com/ECSlidingViewController/ECSlidingViewController

Not Usable For Us

ENSwiftSideMenu

A simple side menu for iOS 7/8 written in Swift.

https://github.com/evnaz/ENSwiftSideMenu

NOTE: The style of this seems to be more of an overlay than a drawer, so I'm not sure it's applicable to our current design.

KGFloatingDrawer

A floating navigation drawer with an interesting animated presentation written in Swift.

https://github.com/KyleGoddard/KGFloatingDrawer

NOTE: Doesn't seem like the design style we are looking for.

KYDrawerController

Side Drawer Navigation Controller similar to Android.

https://github.com/ykyouhei/KYDrawerController

NOTES: Written in Swift and support Storyboards. Sadly is not the layout style our design calls for.

@zorn great list. I would also add ZUUIRevealController to this list. We used to use it in Mint before we ripped it out and moved to tab bar navigation. I believe it is Obj-C only but probably can be used with Swift

Also, it looks like SWRevealViewController can be used with Swift.

Though the library was written in Objective-C, you can easily integrate it into any Swift project. You will see how easy you can access and interact with Objective-C classes using Swift.
