Answer 1

In your MenuVC (the table View controller that lies behind and acts as a side menu). Add the following.

let darkView = UIView()

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {

    darkView.addGestureRecognizer(revealViewController().tapGestureRecognizer())
    darkView.backgroundColor = UIColor.black.withAlphaComponent(0.7)
    darkView.frame = self.revealViewController().frontViewController.view.bounds
    self.revealViewController().frontViewController.view.addSubview(darkView)
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    darkView.removeFromSuperview()
}
