# Swift Tweener

Swift animation engine, make more powerful and creative Apps.

![Logo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/tweener.gif)

This project has rewritten in pure Swift from [CocoaTweener](https://github.com/alexrvarela/cocoatweener)

### Prerequisites

* Swift 5.0

## Features

### Declarative & chainable syntax

Now, with Declarative Syntax and Tween chaining, to create a Tween:

```swift
Tween(myView)
.duration(1.0)
.ease(.inOutCubic)
.to(
    .key(\.alpha, 1.0),
    .key(\.frame, CGRect(x:20.0,
                         y:20.0,
                         width:UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 40,
                         height:UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 40)),
    .key(\.backgroundColor!, .red)//NOTE:This property is an optional, add ! to keypath.
)
.onComplete { print("Tween complete") }
.after()//Creates a new tween after with same target and properties.
.duration(1.0)
.ease(Ease.outBounce)
.to(
    .key(\.alpha, 0.25),
    .key(\.frame, CGRect(x:20.0, y:20.0, width:100.0, height:100.0)),
    .key(\.backgroundColor!, .blue)
)
.play()
```

To create a Timeline:

```swift
Timeline(
    
    //Place tweens here, separated by commas.
    
    //Tween 1
    Tween(myView)
    .ease(.inOutQuad)
    .to(.key(\.center, .zero) )
    .onStart {
        self.flipX(inverted: true)
    }
    .onComplete { print("Tween 1 complete") },
    
    //Tween 2
    Tween(myView)
    .to(.key(\.center, self.center) )
    .onStart {
        self.flipY()
    }
    .onComplete { print("Tween 2 complete") }
    
    //Etc....
)
.play()

```

### View's extensions

To make it more friendly, now includes UIView's and NSView's extensions with predefined animations ready-to-use calling a single function from your view instance:

```swift
.spring()                     
.zoomIn()
.zoomOut()
.pop()
.fadeIn()
.fadeOut()
.flyLeft()
.flyRight()
.flyTop()
.flyBottom()
.slideLeft()
.slideRight()
.slideTop()
.slideBottom()
.flipX()
.flipY()
.shake()
.jiggle()
.bounce()
.swing()
.spin()
.loop()
```

![View's extensions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/extensions.gif)

### Any object Type Support

To add support to other Types and  custom Types, assuming there is a struct like this:

```swift
public struct Vector3{
    var x, y, z: Double
    func buffer() -> [Double] { return [x, y, z] }
    static func zero() -> Vector3 { return Vector3(x:0.0, y:0.0, z:0.0) }
    static var random: Vector3 {
         return Vector3( x:.random(in: 0...1.0),
                         y:.random(in: 0...1.0),
                         z:.random(in: 0...1.0)
         )
    }
}
```

Tweener is based on Double arrays so you have to tell it how to convert your object to Array and back to Object.

```swift
Tweener.addType(
                toType:{ values in return Vector3(x:values[0], y:values[1], z:values[2]) },
                toArray:{ point in return point.buffer() }
                )
```

Now, you can animate a 'Vector3' Type object.

```swift
Tween(myInstance)
.to(.key(\.myVec3Property, .random))
.play()
```

### MacOS support

This version includes macOS support and samples.

![Mac samples](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/random.gif)

## Installation

### Install using Cocoapods

To integrate install [Cocoa Pods](http://cocoapods.org/) using this gem:
```
$ gem install cocoapods
```

Now, add Tweener to your Podfile
```
pod 'Tweener', '~> 2.1.1'
```

To install dependencies run this command:
```
pod install
```

### Install using Carthage

To integrate install [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) with brew:
```
$ brew update
$ brew install carthage
```

Now, add Tweener to your Cartfile
```
github "alexrvarela/SwiftTweener" ~> 2.1.1
```

To install dependencies run this command:
```
$ carthage update
```
Finally, drag & drop Tweener.framework to your Xcode Project

### Install using Swift Package Manager

To install, add dependencies to your Package.swift

```
dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "2.1.1"))
]
```

### Install manually

Download, build and copy Tweener.framework to your Xcode project.

## Usage

Import Tweener engine to your project:

```swift
import Tweener
```

Animate by default any of these kinds of properties:
Int, Float, Double, CGFloat, CGPoint, CGRect, UIColor, CGAffineTransform, CATransform3D

First set initial state:
```swift
myView.alpha = 0.25
myView.frame = CGRect(x:20, y:20, width:50, height:50)
myView.backgroundColor = .blue
```

Create and add a simple Tween:

```swift
Tween(myView)
.duration(1.0)//One second
.ease(.inOutCubic)
.to(
    .key(\.alpha, 1.0),
    .key(\.frame,CGRect(x:20, y:20, width:250, height:250)),
    .key(\.backgroundColor!, .red)
)
.play()
```

Or use 'from' and 'to' keys:

```swift
Tween(myView)
.duration(1.0)//One second
.ease(.inOutCubic)
.from(
    .key(\.alpha, 0.25),
    .key(\.frame, CGRect(x:20, y:20, width:50, height:50)),
    .key(\.backgroundColor!, .blue)
)
.to(
    .key(\.alpha, 1.0),
    .key(\.frame,CGRect(x:20, y:20, width:250, height:250)),
    .key(\.backgroundColor!, .red)
)
.play()
```

To remove a Tween from Engine simply call stop().
```swift
myTween.stop()
```

![Simple tween](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/simple-tween.gif)

### Tween chaining

To create and chain a Tween with same target and properties just call .after()
```swift
    let firstTween = Tween(myViewInstance)
    // This creates and chains a new tween whith time delay after 'firstTween'.
    let secondTween = firstTween.after()
    //This plays firstTween and secondTween.
    secondTween.play()
```

To create and chain a Tween with different target and Type pass the second Tween as parameter.
```swift
    let firstTween = Tween(myViewInstance)
    let secondTween = Tween(otherViewInstance)
    // This chains booth and sets the second one after first one.
    firstTween.after(secondTween)
    //This plays firstTween and secondTween.
    secondTween.play()
```

You can chain as many Tweens as you want.

### Tween handlers

Interact with your code using block handlers:

```swift
myTween.onStart {
    self.backgroundColor = .green
}

myTween.onUpdate {
    doAnything()
}

myTween.onComplete {
    self.backgroundColor = .red
}

myTween.onOverwrite {
    self.backgroundColor = .blue
}
```

![Handlers](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/handlers.gif)

### Remove and pause existing Tweens in the Engine

You can pause, resume and remove existing tweens:

For all existing tweens:
```swift
Tweener.pauseAllTweens()
Tweener.resumeAllTweens()
Tweener.removeAllTweens()
```

By target:
```swift
Tweener.pauseTweens(target:myView)
Tweener.resumeTweens(target:myView)
Tweener.removeTweens(target:myView)
```

By specific properties of a target:
```swift
Tweener.pauseTweens(target:myView, keys:[\UIView.backgroundColor, \UIView.alpha])
Tweener.resumeTweens(target:myView, keys:[\UIView.backgroundColor, \UIView.alpha])
Tweener.removeTweens(target:myView, keys:[\UIView.backgroundColor, \UIView.alpha])
```

Unleash your creativity!

### Easing

This engine is based on Robert Penner's [Easing equations](http://robertpenner.com/easing/)

![Easing curves](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/ease-curves.gif)

To create a custom easing equation:
```swift
extension Ease{
    public static let custom = Ease(equation:{ (t, b, c, d) in
        //Play with code here!
        if t < d/2 {return Ease.inBack.equation(t*2, b, c/2, d)}
        return Ease.outElastic.equation((t*2)-d, b+c/2, c/2, d)
    })
}
```

And use it:
```swift
Tween(myView)
    .ease(.custom)
    .to(.key(\.frame, CGRect(x:20.0, y:20.0, width:280.0, height:280.0)))
    .play()
```

### Timeline

Add a Tween or animate with Timeline?

It depends on what do you want, a Tween only animates “to” desired value taking the current value of the property as origin, that allows your App to be more dynamic, each Tween is destroyed immediately after completing the animation.

Timeline stores “from” and “to” values of each Tween, contains a collection of reusable Tweens, to create Timeline and add Tweens use this code:

```swift
let myTimeline = Timeline()
.add(
    myTween1, 
    myTween2
    //etc...
)
.play()
```

You can interact with Timeline play modes, the default value is Play once, it stops when finished, to change Tmeline play mode:

Loop, repeat forever
```swift
myTimeline.playMode(.loop)
```
![Loop](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/timeline-play.gif)

Ping Pong, forward and reverse
```swift
myTimeline.playMode(.pingPong)
```
![Ping Pong](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/timeline-ping-pong.gif)

To remove a Timeline from Engine simply call stop().
```swift
myTimeline.stop()
```
Perform parallax scrolling effects controlling your timeline with UIScrollView:

![Timeline scroll](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/tmeline-scroll.gif)

### TimelineInspector
You can use the Timeline inspector to debug  and edit Tweens

Visualize Tweens in real time:

![Visualize Tweens in real time!](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/tmeline-inspector.gif)

Edit Tweens:

![Edit Tweens](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/timeline-editor.gif) ![Scale timeline editor](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/timeline-zoom.gif)

To create Timeline inspector:
```swift
let myInspector = TimelineInspector(timeline:myTimeline)
addSubview(myInspector)
```

### PDFImageView

Cut with the image dependency and easily import your vector assets using PDFImageView, forget to export to SVG and other formats iOs offers native support for PDF with CoreGraphics, this class simply renders one pdf inside a UIImageView

To load your asset named "bee.pdf" from App bundle:

```swift
let myAsset = PDFImageView(bundlename:"bee")
addSubview(myAsset)
```

You can increase or reduce the size of your assets with a simple property:

```swift
myAsset.scale = 1.5
```

### Aims
Create more complex and impressive animations using Aims

![Aims](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/eye.gif)

### PathAim
Control motion with paths:

![Path aim](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/path.gif)
![Text path aim](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/path-text.gif)

```swift
let myPathAim = PathAim(target:myAsset)
myPathAim.path = myBezierPath
```

To change location at path change this property value:

```swift
myPathAim.interpolation = 0.5
```

And simply animate path interpolation:

```swift
Tween(myPathAim) 
.from(.key(\.interpolation, 0.0))
.to(.key(\.interpolation, 1.0))
.play()
```

You can export your paths to code from illustrator with this simple Script:
https://github.com/alexrvarela/generatePathCode

### RotationAim

Animate rotation of any view

![Rotation aim](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/rotation-aim.gif)

```swift
let myRotationAim = RotationAim(target:myView)

Tween(myRotationAim)
.from(.key(\.angle, 90.0))
.to(.key(\.angle, 360.0))
.play()
```

### ArcAim
Create Arc animations

![Arc aims](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/orbits.gif)

```swift
let myArcAim = ArcAim(target:myView)

//Set desired radius
myArcAim.radius = 100.0

//Animate arc angle
Tween(myArcAim)
.from(.key(\.arcAngle, 0.0))
.to(.key(\.arcAngle, 360.0))
.play()
```

### StringAim
Animate text transitions

![String aims](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/text.gif)

```swift
//Create string aim
let stringAim = StringAim(target:myUILabel, keyPath:\UILabel.text)
stringAim.from = "hello"
stringAim.to = "hola"

//Set initial interpolation
stringAim.interpolation = 0.0

//Animate, using timeline to repeat forever.
Timeline(

//Create tween with StringAim target and animate interpolation.
    Tween(stringAim)
    .delay(0.5)
    .duration(0.5)
    .from(.key(\.interpolation, 0.0))
    .to(.key(\.interpolation, 1.0))
    .onComplete { self.swapText() }
    
)
.mode(.loop)
.play()
```

Play with everything, combine different types of Aim:

![Mix different aims](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/bb8.gif)

### TweenVisualizer

Visualize all tweens and timelines  in real time

Create a TweenVisualizer and attach it to Tweener's update loop :
```swift
let visualizer = TweenVisualizer()
visualizer.center = viewController.view.center
Tweener.addVisualizer(visualizer)

//Add to UIView
addSubview(visualizer)
```

To detach visualizer from update loop just use this code:
```swift
Tweener.removeVisualizer(visualizer)
```
![Visualizer](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/tweenvisualizer.gif)

Also, you can drag, pinch and resize visualizer at your convenience, to resize just drag the bottom-right corner:
![Drag](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/tweenvisualizer-drag.gif) ![Pinch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/tweenvisualizer-pinch.gif) ![Resize](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexrvarela/SwiftTweener/master/Gifs/tweenvisualizer-resize.gif)

This library was created to give dynamism to UI elements, if you are looking to make more complex animations I recommend you implement them with [Lottie](https://airbnb.design/lottie/).
