SideBar decleration

I'm not using the storyboard mode to make a table along with creating a button to call it. I have the code to make it swipe but for some reason I cant make the button call the sidebar. I have a sideBartableViewController that creates the tableview and the SideBar.swift file to give it the functionality. I think I have to give the sidebar.swift file an extra function to open up the sideBar when the button is pressed. All I have is the swipe motion embedded into the SideBar.swift file. Any help would be appreciated!If you need the code for the sideBarTableViewController or SideBar I can post it up

class ViewController: UIViewController, SideBarDelegate {

var sideBar:SideBar = SideBar()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Menu Button
    let button = UIButton.buttonWithType(UIButtonType.System) as UIButton
    button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 17, 45, 43)
    //button.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor()
    //button.setTitle("Test Button", forState: UIControlState.Normal)
    button.addTarget(self, action: "buttonAction:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
    self.view.addSubview(button)
    var buttonMenu = UIImage(named: "menu-button.png")
    var buttonMenuView = UIImageView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 17, 45, 43))
    buttonMenuView.image = buttonMenu
    self.view.addSubview(buttonMenuView)

    // Side bar action and text
    sideBar = SideBar(sourceView: self.view, menuItems: ["Home", "Business Directory", "Classifieds", "Featured News", "Jobs", "Restaurants", "Sports"])
    sideBar.delegate = self


}

func buttonAction(sender:UIButton!)
{
    if sideBar = SideBar.self{
        sideBarWillOpen()

    }else{ sideBarWillClose()
    }



    }
}

I incorrectly assumed your sideBar was the UIViewController. After seeing your SideBar Class, I see it's an NSObject that handles showing/hiding the table view controller. So all you have to do is check if the sideBar is open or not and show/hide it accordingly.

@IBAction func buttonAction(sender: AnyObject) {
    if sideBar.isSideBarOpen {
        sideBar.showSideBar(false)
    } else {
        sideBar.showSideBar(true)
    }
}

You have to add the sideBar.view to the view hierarchy.

Here's a general way to do a custom menu/sidebar.

func showSideBar() {
    // if sideBar is nil, then init it and set delegate
    if sideBar == nil {
        // init the sideBar
        sideBar = SideBar(sourceView: self.view, menuItems: ["Home", "Business Directory", "Classifieds", "Featured News", "Jobs", "Restaurants", "Sports"])
        sideBar.delegate = self
    }
    // add it off the right side of the screen
    sideBar.view.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.bounds.size.width, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height) // customize the width and height here
    self.view.addSubview(sideBar.view)
    // animate onto the screen
    UIView.animateWithDuration(0.4, animations: {()
        self.sideBar.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height)
    })
}

func hideSideBar() {
    if sideBar != nil {
        // animate off the right side of the screen
        UIView.animateWithDuration(0.4, animations: {()
                self.sideBar.view.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.bounds.size.width, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height)
        })
    }
}
