Type-safe CAAnimation wrapper. It makes preventing to set wrong type values

TheAnimation

TheAnimation is Type-safe CAAnimation wrapper.

Introduction

For example, if you want to animate backgroundColor with CABasicAnimation, you need to consider type because fromValue property and so on are Any?.

If you use BasicAnimation of TheAnimation, you can animate backgroundColor without considering type! (AnimationKeyPaths.backgroundColor is AnimationKeyPath<CGColor> type.)

Usage

The way of making an animation is almost similar CAAnimation. But you need to use animation.animate(in:) method instead of using layer.add(_:forKey:).

let view = UIView()

let animation = BasicAnimation(keyPath: .opacity)
animation.fromValue = 0
animation.toValue   = 1
animation.duration  = 1
animation.animate(in: view)

animation.animate(in:) returns AnimaitonCanceller. You can cancel an animation with it.

let canceller = animation.animate(in: view)
canceller.cancelAnimation()

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and open Example directory.

Add new AnimationKeyPath

You can add AnimationKeyPath like this.

<div class="highlight highlight-source-swift position-relative" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="extension AnimationKeyPaths {
static let newKeyPath = AnimationKeyPath(keyPath: "abcd")
}
“>

extension AnimationKeyPaths {
    static let newKeyPath = AnimationKeyPath<CGFloat>(keyPath: "abcd")
}

Handle animation did Start / Stop

You can handle animation did Start with func setAnimationDidStart(handler:). In addition, you can handle animation did Stop with func setAnimationDidStop(handler:).

let view = UIView()

let animation = BasicAnimation(keyPath: .opacity)
animation.fromValue = 0
animation.toValue   = 1
animation.duration  = 1

animation.setAnimationDidStart {
    // do something
}

animation.setAnimationDidStop { finished in
    // do something
}

animation.animate(in: view)
