You can use InteractiveSideMenu library. It supports interactive opening/closing menu. It supports interactive opening/closing menu and following customization:

• Animation duration
• Visible content width
• Content scale
• Using spring animation with params customization
• Animation options like animation curve

You should use 3 basic ViewControllers for creating subclasses for implementing your side menu.

• MenuContainerViewController is a host for menu and content views
• MenuViewController is a container for menu view
• MenuItemContentControlller is a container for content that corresponds menu item

To setup your side menu you shoud do 3 things:

• Provide implementation of base MenuViewController and assing it to menuViewController property
• Provide implementation of menu content and assing array of content controllers to contentViewControllers property
• Select initial content controller by calling selectContentViewController(_ selectedContentVC: MenuItemContentViewController)

Here is an example of setup Host controller.

import InteractiveSideMenu

class HostViewController: MenuContainerViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.menuViewController = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "NavigationMenu") as! MenuViewController

        self.contentViewControllers = contentControllers()

        self.selectContentViewController(contentViewControllers.first!)
    }

    private func contentControllers() -> [MenuItemContentViewController] {
        //here is instantiation of content view controllers
    }
}
