A Chained Spring: Swift file
A Bouncy Transition: Swift file
A spring with no parameters. It applies gentle and sensible spring-feel to the object you want to animate.
Menu - Close icon transition: Swift file
An interactive spring with no parameters. This creates a spring animation with high stiffness and low response. It makes the animation is less snappy:
Menu - Close icon transition: Swift file
This allows you to create a spring animation that is based on stiffness and damping.
- Stiffness:
It is defined as the tensile strength of the spring. A higher stiffness will result in snappier animations. This affects the force applied to the object
and changes how quickly the object moves towards its target. - Damping: You can think of damping as the braking of a car or the back-drag frictional force on the surface the object is resting on. Its purpose is to stop the object over time. It also affects the ability to overshoot the object. Hint: Start with a damping of 15 and stiffness of 170. Reducing the
damping for example, to a value of 5 will create a spring animation that has higher bounciness.

This allows you to create a spring animation that is based on mass, stiffness, damping, and initial velocity. Default values: .interpolatingSpring (mass: Double = 1.0, stiffness: Double, damping: Double, initialVelocity: Double = 0.0).
- Mass: Think of mass as the weight of the object animating. It changes the inertial of the object attached to the spring. That is the willingness of an object to move or stop moving. It is conceptually heavier and can be used to create a spring animation that overshoots. The heavier the mass, the longer it takes to move the object, speed it up, and slow it down.
- Initial Velocity: The initial velocity is defined as the speed at which the animation object changes at the beginning of the animation. The default initial velocity is set to zero. It is measured in units per second of the animation.

This allows you to create a spring animation that is based on response, damping fraction, and blend duration. Default values: .spring (response: Double = 0.55, dampingFraction: Double = 0.825, blendDuration: Double = 0). A higher response value will slow down the animation. A lower response speeds it up.
-
Response: It controls how quickly an animating property value will try and get to a target. You can use the response to create an infinitely-stiff spring by setting its value to zero.
-
Damping Fraction: Damping fraction causes a gradual reduction in the spring's oscillation. Using damping fraction, you can define how rapidly the
oscillations decay from one bounce to the next. Additionally, you can damp the spring in the following ways:- Over Damping: Set the damping fraction to a value greater than 1. It lets the object you are animating, quickly return to the rest position.
- Critical Damping: Set the damping fraction = 1. It lets the object return to the rest position within the shortest possible time.
- Under Damping: Set the damping fraction to be less than 1. It lets the object overshoot multiple times passing the rest position and gradually reaching the rest position.
- Undamped: Set the damping fraction = 0. This lets the object oscillate forever.
-
Blend Duration: Blend duration is a frame of time during which a previous animation stops and the next animation starts. Changing the blend duration of any of the examples in this repository, does not produce any visual change. This makes it difficult to see what it actually does.

This allows you to create a spring animation that is based on response, damping fraction, and blend duration. Default values: interactiveSpring (response: Double = 0.15, dampingFraction: Double = 0.86, blendDuration: Double = 0.25). You can use this spring as an alternative to .spring(response, dampingFraction, blendDuration). Always start with the default values above. To check the default values in XCode, Control-click the spring modifier and select "Show Quick Help". The thumbs down animation below uses this spring. The damping fraction is inversely proportional to the springiness of the animation. Reducing the default damping fraction will make the animation bouncier. As mentioned in step 5 above, blend duration has no visible effect on the spring, at the time of writing this article.

Draggable Menu ( Inapired by Hackingwithswift): Swift file
Animate a bell to fall and rotate after falling. It is similar to the iOS silent mode (on) animation. Since this animation emulates the presence of sound, it uses a very low damping to create a high bounce. Swift file
Animate a slashed bell to fall and rotate after falling. It uses a rectangular mask to show and hide the bell icon. Since this animation simulates the absence of sound, it uses moderate damping to prevent the bell from bouncing. Swift file
Animate a ball's position so that it appears to be pulled towards a target by a spring. Swift file
Create a spring animation that bounces a ball into view by animating its scale from 1 to 2.

Create a recording effect using different springs.
