Assuming only left-menu part is left and menu is sliding on button click.

Follow below steps :

Take new UIViewController in your storyboard.
Do this a) Add new UIView with size of UIViewController (says viewBG). b) Now goto property and decrease the viewBG opacity according to you, Don't play with alpha value. c) Take one more view of your left menu (says viewMenu).
Add Your menuVC as a child VC of your MainVC.
Now use below line code when you wanted to show menu.

menuVC.view.frame = CGRect(x : -self.view.frame.size.width, y : 0, width : menuVC.view.frame.size.width, height: self.view.frame.size.height) UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5) { menuVC.view.frame = CGRect(x : 0, y : 0, width : menuVC.view.frame.size.width, height: self.view.frame.size.height) }

To remove menu

menuVC.view.frame = CGRect(x : 0, y : 0, width : menuVC.view.frame.size.width, height: self.view.frame.size.height) UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5) { menuVC.view.frame = CGRect(x : -self.view.frame.size.width, y : 0, width : menuVC.view.frame.size.width, height: self.view.frame.size.height) }

HOPE: you can give constraints to you view.

No it is not, but can create same side view like this. and I never used SWRevealVC, so i have no info regarding to it. I just write here my approach. Either you can do like this way and for SW take help from other, :( — dahiya_boy, Jan 18 '17 at 07:45

The way is to set your "main" view controller as the rearViewController (static, not moving) and your "side Bar" as the frontViewController (sliding on top, optionally transparent). From my understanding of what you want to achieve this is all you need.
