Swift Animations made Easy

• 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.

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.

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())
