Stagehand provides a modern, type-safe API for building animations on iOS. Stagehand is designed around a set of core ideas:

* **Composition of Structures** - Stagehand makes it easy to build complex, multi-part animations that are built from small, reusable pieces that are easier to reason about.
* **Separation of Construction and Execution** - Stagehand provides separate mechanisms for the construction and execution, which increases the flexibility of animations and makes concepts like queuing a series of animations work straight out of the box.
* **Compile-Time Safety** - Stagehand uses modern Swift features to provide a compile-time safe API for defining animations.
* **Testability** - Stagehand builds on the concept of snapshot testing to introduce a visual testing paradigm for animations.

## Installation

### CocoaPods

To install Stagehand via [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org), simply add the following line to your `Podfile`:

```ruby
pod 'Stagehand'
```

To install StagehandTesting, the animation snapshot testing utilities, add the following line to your test target definition in your `Podfile`:

```ruby
pod 'StagehandTesting'
```

By default, this will use Point-Free's [SnapshotTesting](https://github.com/pointfreeco/swift-snapshot-testing) to record snapshots and perform comparisons. To instead use Uber's [iOSSnapshotTestCase](https://github.com/uber/ios-snapshot-test-case) as the snapshotting engine, set your test target dependency to use the `iOSSnapshotTestCase` subspec.

```ruby
pod 'StagehandTesting/iOSSnapshotTestCase'
```

### Swift Package Manager

To install Stagehand via [Swift Package Manager](https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager), add the following to your `Package.swift`:

```swift
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/cashapp/stagehand", from: "4.0.0"),
],
```

## Getting Started with Stagehand

An animation begins with the construction of an `Animation`. An `Animation` is generic over a type of element and acts as a definition of how that element should be animated.

As an example, we can write an animation that highlights a view by fading its alpha to 0.8 and back:

```swift
var highlightAnimation = Animation()
highlightAnimation.addKeyframe(for: \.alpha, at: 0, value: 1)
highlightAnimation.addKeyframe(for: \.alpha, at: 0.5, value: 0.8)
highlightAnimation.addKeyframe(for: \.alpha, at: 1, value: 1)
```

Let's say we've defined a view, which we'll call `BinaryView`, that has two subviews, `leftView` and `rightView`, and we want to highlight each of the subviews in sequence. We can define an animation for our `BinaryView` with two child animations:

```swift
var binaryAnimation = Animation()
binaryAnimation.addChild(highlightAnimation, for: \.leftView, startingAt: 0, relativeDuration: 0.5)
binaryAnimation.addChild(highlightAnimation, for: \.rightView, startingAt: 0.5, relativeDuration: 0.5)
```

Once we've set up our view and we're ready to execute our animation, we can call the `perform` method to start animating:

```swift
let view = BinaryView()
// ...

binaryAnimation.perform(on: view)
```

## Running the Demo App

Stagehand ships with a demo app that shows examples of many of the features provided by Stagehand. To run the demo app, open the `Example` directory and run:

```bash
bundle install
bundle exec pod install
open Stagehand.xcworkspace
```

From here, you can run the demo app and see a variety of examples for how to use the framework. In that workspace, there is also a playground that includes documentation and tutorials for how each feature works.
