## Description

SWRevealViewController is an iOS container view controller and navigation transition component used to create reveal view interfaces. It functions as a side menu controller that slides a primary view to expose a secondary navigation panel or hidden content.

The project enables the creation of layered UI where a main screen moves away from the edges via pan and tap gestures to reveal a background side menu. It manages the visual transitions and animation behaviors required to switch between these stacked view controllers.

The system handles nested interface layers and view controller management, coordinating the flow between front, rear, and side screens. It utilizes gesture-based reveal triggers and custom transition effects to manage how content enters and exits the viewport.
