AnimatedGradientView is a UIView subclass which makes it simple to add animated gradients to your iOS app. It is written purely in Swift. [Further documentation available as part of this blog post](https://medium.com/@rwbutler/animated-gradients-on-ios-aa117551e533).
## Features
- [x] Easily create animated or static gradients.
- [x] Configurable gradient direction.
- [x] Use hex values, RGB values or names to specify colors (including color names specified in asset catalogs on iOS 11 or higher).
- [x] Supports animating between gradients with a varying number of colors.
- [x] Supports axial, radial and on iOS 12, conic gradients.
- [x] Auto-animate or animate manually using the `startAnimating` and `stopAnimating` functions.
- [x] Loop animations with the `autoRepeat` property.
To learn more about how to use AnimatedGradientView, check out the [blog post](https://medium.com/@rwbutler/animated-gradients-on-ios-aa117551e533), take a look at the [example app](./Example/), the demo over on [Appetize.io](https://appetize.io/app/ytxjjp34nxxuac0cm95rf7nbvm?device=iphonexsmax&scale=75&orientation=portrait&osVersion=12.1), or make use of the table of contents below:

## What's new in AnimatedGradientView 3.0.0?
AnimatedGradientView 3.0.0 provides support for Xcode 12 and raises the minimum deployment target to iOS 9 (dropping support for iOS 8).
## Quickstart
Creating and adding a new `AnimatedGradientView` as a subview is as simple as follows:
```swift
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)]
view.addSubview(animatedGradient)
```
You'll also need to remember to import the framework using `import AnimatedGradientView`.
## Requirements
AnimatedGradientView is written in Swift 5.0 and is available on iOS 8.0 or higher.
## Installation
### Cocoapods
[CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org) is a dependency manager which integrates dependencies into your Xcode workspace. To install it using [RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/) run:
```bash
gem install cocoapods
```
To install AnimatedGradientView using Cocoapods, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
```ruby
pod "AnimatedGradientView"
```
Then run the command:
```bash
pod install
```
For more information [see here](https://cocoapods.org/#getstarted).
### Carthage
Carthage is a dependency manager which produces a binary for manual integration into your project. It can be installed via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) using the commands:
```bash
brew update
brew install carthage
```
In order to integrate AnimatedGradientView into your project via Carthage, add the following line to your project's Cartfile:
```ogdl
github "rwbutler/AnimatedGradientView"
```
From the macOS Terminal run `carthage update --platform iOS` to build the framework then drag `AnimatedGradientView.framework` into your Xcode project.
For more information [see here](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#quick-start).
### Swift Package Manager
Swift Package Manager is a dependency manager built right into Xcode 11 and higher. From the File menu, add a new Swift Package dependency to your project and paste in this project's Git URL.
## Usage
### Static Gradients
If all you need is a gradient without animation this is easily achieved by setting the `colors` property to an array of `UIColor` as follows:
```swift
let gradient = AnimatedGradientView(frame: view.bounds)
gradient.colors = [[UIColor.blue, UIColor.red]]
gradient.direction = .up
view.addSubview(gradient)
```
The `colors` property is actually an array of `UIColor` arrays. If further `UIColor` arrays are specified then animation will occur between them. Using the `direction` property it also possible to define the direction of the gradient.
If it is more convenient to work with hex color strings rather than `UIColor` then make use of the `colorStrings` property instead as follows:
```swift
let gradient = AnimatedGradientView(frame: view.bounds)
gradient.colorStrings = [["#3224AE", "#FF66FF"]]
gradient.direction = .up
view.addSubview(gradient)
```
#### Gradient Types
AnimatedGradientView supports three types of gradients which can be set using the `type` property.
```swift
let gradient = AnimatedGradientView(frame: view.bounds)
gradient.autoAnimate = false
gradient.colorStrings = [["#3224AE", "#FF66FF"]]
gradient.type = .axial
view.addSubview(gradient)
```
The three gradient types supported are:
##### Axial
This is your standard linear gradient blending between color stops from the start point to the end point.
#### Radial
The gradient appears to radiate outwards from the start point (at the center) towards the end point in a circular fashion blending between the color stops from the start point to end point as with a linear gradient.
#### Conic
This type of gradient is only available from iOS 12 onwards. It is similar to a radial gradient in that the start point represents the center of the circle and the end point represents a point on the outer edge. However, whilst a radial gradient blends between color stops from the start point to the end point (from the center to the outer edge), a conic gradient places the color stops along the outer edge of the circle blending between the color stops from 0 degrees to 360 degrees.
