Swift Animations made Easy

Installation

• Add the following to your Podfile and run pod install pod 'Fluent', '~> 0.1'
• or add the following to your Cartfile and run carthage update github "matthewcheok/Fluent"

• or clone as a git submodule,

• or just copy files in the Fluent folder into your project.

Using Fluent

Fluent makes writing animations declarative and chainable.

boxView
.animate(0.5)
.rotate(0.5)
.scale(2)
.backgroundColor(.blueColor())
.waitThenAnimate(0.5)
.scale(1)
.backgroundColor(.redColor())

Simply call one of the animation methods, of which only duration is required:

• animate(duration: NSTimeInterval, velocity: CGFloat , damping: CGFloat, options: UIViewAnimationOptions)
• waitThenAnimate(duration: NSTimeInterval, velocity: CGFloat , damping: CGFloat, options: UIViewAnimationOptions)

All common properties on UIView are supported:

• scale(factor: CGFloat)
• translate(x: CGFloat, y: CGFloat)
• rotate(cycles: CGFloat)
• backgroundColor(color: UIColor)
• alpha(alpha: CGFloat)
• frame(frame: CGRect)
• bounds(bounds: CGRect)
• center(center: CGPoint)

There are also relative versions of the transforms:

• scaleBy(factor: CGFloat)
• translateBy(x: CGFloat, y: CGFloat)
• rotateBy(cycles: CGFloat)

You may not mix absolute and relative transformations in the same animation.

Using transforms

The order of the transformations are important!

To reverse the following:

boxView
.animate(1)
.translateBy(50, 50)
.rotateBy(0.5)
.scaleBy(2)
.backgroundColor(.blueColor())
.alpha(0.7)

We need to undo the transformations in reverse or get weird results:

boxView
.animate(1)
.scaleBy(0.5)
.rotateBy(-0.5)
.translateBy(-50, -50)
.backgroundColor(.redColor())
