Yet Another Animation Library

Designed for gesture-driven animations. Fast, simple, & extensible!

It is written in pure swift 3.1 with protocol oriented design and extensive use of generics.

Consider this as a swift optimized version of facebook's pop. It plays nicer with swift and faster too.

Fast:

  • Uses SIMD types and instructions for calculation
  • Better compiler optimization through swift generics

Simple:

  • Supports Curve(Basic), Spring, & Decay animations out of the box
  • Easy API for animating common animatable properties. (checkout the Extensions folder for list of included properties)
  • Type safety guaranteed when assigning animation values
  • Observable, including value, velocity, and target value
  • Builtin chaining operator to easily react to changes in value
  • Provide velocity interpolation with gestures

Extensible:

  • Supports custom property
  • Supports custom animatable type
  • Supports custom animation

Installation

pod "YetAnotherAnimationLibrary"

Usage

Animation

// Spring animation
view.yaal.center.animateTo(CGPoint(x:50, y:100))
view.yaal.alpha.animateTo(0.5, stiffness: 300, damping: 20)

// Curve(Basic) animation
view.yaal.frame.animateTo(CGRect(x:0, y:0, width:50, height:50), duration:0.5, curve: .linear)

// Decay Animation
view.yaal.center.decay(initialVelocity:CGPoint(x:100, y:0))

Observe Changes

// observe value changes
view.yaal.center.value.changes.addListener { oldVelocity, newVelocity in
  print(oldVelocity, newVelocity)
}
// observe velocity changes
view.yaal.center.velocity.changes.addListener { oldVelocity, newVelocity in
  print(oldVelocity, newVelocity)
}

Chaining Reactions

// when scale changes, also change its alpha
// for example if view's scale animates from 1 to 0.5. its alpha will animate to 0.5 as well
view.yaal.scale.value => view.yaal.alpha
// equvalent to the following
// view.yaal.scale.value.changes.addListener { _, newScale in
//   view.yaal.alpha.animateTo(newScale)
// }

// optionally you can provide a mapping function in between.
// For example, the following code makes the view more transparent the faster it is moving
view.yaal.center.velocity => { 1 - $0.magnitude / 1000 } => view.yaal.alpha
// equvalent to the following
// view.yaal.center.velocity.changes.addListener { _, newVelocity in
//   view.yaal.alpha.animateTo(1 - newVelocity.magnitude / 1000)
// }

Set Value (Notify listeners)

// this sets the value directly (not animate to). Change listeners are called.
// Velocity listeners will receive a series of smoothed velocity values.
view.yaal.center.setTo(gestureRecognizer.location(in:nil))

Advance Usages

React to changes

Animate is very efficient at observing animated value and react accordingly. Some awesome effects can be achieved through observed values.

For example, here is a simple 2d rotation animation thats made possible through observing the center value's velocity.

   override func viewDidLoad() {
     // ...
     view.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tap(gr:))))
     squareView.yaal.center.velocity => { $0.x / 1000 } => squareView.yaal.rotation
   }
   func tap(gr: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
       squareView.yaal.center.animateTo(gr.location(in: view))
   }


Animate also provide smooth velocity interpolation when calling setTo(_:). This is especially useful when dealing with user gesture.

For example. the following does a 3d rotate animation when dragged

override func viewDidLoad() {
    // ...
    squareView.addGestureRecognizer(UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(pan(gr:))))
    squareView.yaal.perspective.setTo(-1.0 / 500.0)
    squareView.yaal.center.velocity => { $0.x / 1000 } => squareView.yaal.rotationY
    squareView.yaal.center.velocity => { -$0.y / 1000 } => squareView.yaal.rotationX
}

func pan(gr: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
    squareView.yaal.center.setTo(gr.location(in: view))
}

Custom property

To animate custom property, just create an animation object by calling SpringAnimation(getter:setter:). Use the animation object to animate and set the values. There are 4 types of animations provided by Animate:

  • SpringAnimation
  • CurveAnimation
  • DecayAnimation
  • MixAnimation (does all three types of animation)
class Foo {
    var volumn: Float = 0.0
    lazy var volumnAnimation: SpringAnimation<Float>
        = SpringAnimation(getter: { [weak self] in self?.volumn },
                          setter: { [weak self] in self?.volumn = $0 })
}

volumnAnimation.animateTo(0.5)

If your class inherits from NSObject, then it is even easier by using the built in animation store.

via extension & yaal.animationFor

extension Foo {
    public var volumnAnimation: MixAnimation<CGRect> {
        return yaal.animationFor(key: "volumn",
                                 getter: { [weak self] in self?.volumn },
                                 setter: { [weak self] in self?.volumn = $0 })
    }
}

via yaal.register & yaal.animationFor

// or register ahead of time
yaal.register(key: "volumn", 
              getter: { [weak self] in self?.volumn },
              setter: { [weak self] in self?.volumn = $0 })

// and retrieve the animation object through the same key.
yaal.animationFor(key: "volumn")!.animateTo(0.5)

// NOTE: that this method have limited type safety. You can basically pass any animatable type into `animateTo()`
// There is nothing to stop you from doing the following. but they will crash at run time
yaal.animationFor(key: "volumn")!.animateTo(CGSize.zero)
yaal.animationFor(key: "volumn")!.animateTo(CGRect.zero)

Custom Animatable Type

Custom animatable types are also supported. Just make the type conform to VectorConvertable.

// the following makes IndexPath animatable
extension IndexPath: VectorConvertible {
    public typealias Vector = Vector2
    public init(vector: Vector) {
        self.init(item: Int(vector.x), section: Int(vector.y))
    }
    public var vector: Vector {
        return [Double(item), Double(section)]
    }
}
// Can now be used like this
let indexAnimation = SpringAnimation(getter: { self.indexPath },
                                     setter: { self.indexPath = $0 })
indexAnimation.animateTo(IndexPath(item:0, section:0))

// Note that everything is type safe. incorrect type won't be allowed to compile

Custom Animation

Just subclass Animation and override update(dt:TimeInterval) method. If your animation need getter & setter support, subclass ValueAnimation instead. Checkout the builtin animations for example.
