README.md

AnimatedGradientView is a UIView subclass which makes it simple to add animated gradients to your iOS app. It is written purely in Swift. Further documentation available as part of this blog post.

Features

• Easily create animated or static gradients.
• Configurable gradient direction.
• Use hex values, RGB values or names to specify colors (including color names specified in asset catalogs on iOS 11 or higher).
• Supports animating between gradients with a varying number of colors.
• Supports axial, radial and on iOS 12, conic gradients.
• Auto-animate or animate manually using the startAnimating and stopAnimating functions.
• Loop animations with the autoRepeat property.

To learn more about how to use AnimatedGradientView, check out the blog post, take a look at the example app, the demo over on Appetize.io, or make use of the table of contents below:

Quickstart

Creating and adding a new AnimatedGradientView as a subview is as simple as follows:

let animatedGradient = AnimatedGradientView(frame: view.bounds)
animatedGradient.direction = .up
animatedGradient.animationValues = [(colors: ["#2BC0E4", "#EAECC6"], .up, .axial),
(colors: ["#833ab4", "#fd1d1d", "#fcb045"], .right, .axial),
(colors: ["#003973", "#E5E5BE"], .down, .axial),
(colors: ["#1E9600", "#FFF200", "#FF0000"], .left, .axial)]
gradientView.addSubview(animatedGradient)

Requirements

AnimatedGradientView is written in Swift 4.2 and is available on iOS 8 or higher.

Installation

Cocoapods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager which integrates dependencies into your Xcode workspace. To install it using RubyGems run:

gem install cocoapods

To install AnimatedGradientView using Cocoapods, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "AnimatedGradientView"

Then run the command:

pod install

For more information see here.

Carthage

Carthage is a dependency manager which produces a binary for manual integration into your project. It can be installed via Homebrew using the commands:

brew update
brew install carthage

In order to integrate AnimatedGradientView into your project via Carthage, add the following line to your project's Cartfile:

github "rwbutler/AnimatedGradientView"

From the macOS Terminal run carthage update --platform iOS to build the framework then drag AnimatedGradientView.framework into your Xcode project.
