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.
