FlipTheBlinds

FlipTheBlinds is an animation transition that creates a venetian blinds domino effect.

Features

• Animation transition for use in presentations, navigation, and switching between tabs.
• Modal presentations can be programmatic or implemented using segues.
• Transition direction and speed is customizable.
• Designed for portrait device orientation.
• Swift 3.0

Demo

Requirements

• iOS 8.0+
• Xcode 10.0+

Usage

Installation

  pod "FlipTheBlinds"

Modal Presentations

• Assign the transitioningDelegate property of the view controller being presented to the presenting view controller.
• Add an extension to the presenting view controller that includes methods for the UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate.
• Return instances of the FTBAnimationController animator object using FTBAnimationController(displayType:direction:speed:) for presenting and dismissing.

  // MARK: Programmatic option

  func presentAction() {

    let toViewController = ToViewController()
    toViewController.transitioningDelegate = self
    self.present(toViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

  }

  // MARK: Segue option

  func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {

      if segue.identifier == "segue", let destinationViewController = segue.destination as? toViewController {

          destinationViewController.transitioningDelegate = self

      }

  }

  // MARK: Transitioning Delegate

  extension fromViewController: UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate {

    func animationController(forPresented presented: UIViewController, presenting: UIViewController, source: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {

        return FTBAnimationController(displayType: .present, direction: .up, speed: .moderate)

    }

    func animationController(forDismissed dismissed: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {

        return FTBAnimationController(displayType: .dismiss, direction: .down, speed: .moderate)

    }

  }

Navigation

• Assign the delegate property of the navigation controller to the root view controller.
• Add an extension to the root view controller that includes the UINavigationControllerDelegate and necessary transitioning method.
• Return instances of the FTBAnimationController animator object using FTBAnimationController(displayType:direction:speed:) for push and pop.

  // MARK: Push

  func pushAction() {

      let navStackViewController = NavStackViewController()
      self.navigationController?.delegate = self
      self.navigationController?.pushViewController(navStackViewController, animated: true)

  }

  // MARK: Navigation Controller Delegate

  extension NavRootViewController: UINavigationControllerDelegate {

   func navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, animationControllerFor operation: UINavigationControllerOperation, from fromVC: UIViewController, to toVC: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {

       switch operation {
       case .pop:
           return FTBAnimationController(displayType: .pop, direction: .right, speed: .moderate)
       case .push:
           return FTBAnimationController(displayType: .push, direction: .left, speed: .moderate)
       default:
           return nil
       }

   }

  }

Tab Bar

• Assign the delegate property of the tab bar controller to one of the root view controllers of the tab bar controller.
• Add an extension to a root view controller that includes the UITabBarControllerDelegate and necessary transitioning method.
• Return an instance of the FTBAnimationController animator object using FTBAnimationController(displayType:direction:speed:).

  // MARK: Delegate

  override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()

      self.tabBarController?.delegate = self

  }

  // MARK: Tab Bar Controller Delegate

  extension TabBarRootOneViewController: UITabBarControllerDelegate {

      func tabBarController(_ tabBarController: UITabBarController, animationControllerForTransitionFrom fromVC: UIViewController, to toVC: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {

          return FTBAnimationController(displayType: .tabSelected, direction: .down, speed: .moderate)

      }

  }

Known Issues

• Drawing/Rendering images in the animator object is problematic for the simulator, especially iPhone 7/7P. Device testing is recommended.
• drawHierarchy(in:afterScreenUpdates:) is used for modal presentations and may cause an inconspicuous flicker.
