How to use SWRevealViewController to open a side menu from a UITabBarItem in Swift

Question

I am working on a project that I want to incorporate SWRevealViewController with. I was able to get my slide in menu showing with it showing when clicking on the menu button with code below:

if self.revealViewController() != nil { menuButton.target = self.revealViewController() menuButton.action = "revealToggle:" self.view.addGestureRecognizer(self.revealViewController().panGestureRecognizer()) }

but I am now trying to do the same thing, but from a UITabBarItem when clicked. I don't have any code written yet, but I am just asking how I can go about doing this.

Here are the images to show what I want to accomplish. Thank you!

This is how you do it. It works for me.

class ViewController: UITabBarDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var tabBar: UITabBar!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    tabBar.delegate = self
}
func tabBar(_ tabBar: UITabBar, didSelect item: UITabBarItem) {
        if(item.tag == 0){
                self.revealViewController().revealToggle(self)
        }
}
