+ - **GradientLoadingBarView**: A `View` for SwiftUI containing the gradient with the animation. The view can be added to any other SwiftUI view. The example application also contains same sample code for this use case.
 
 #### GradientLoadingBar
 To get started, import the module `GradientLoadingBar` into your file and save an instance of `GradientLoadingBar()` on a property of your view-controller. To show the loading bar, simply call the `fadeIn(duration:completion)` method and after your async operations have finished call the  `fadeOut(duration:completion)` method.

 ##### Note
-The progress-animation starts and stops according to the `isHidden` flag. Setting this flag to `false` will start the animation, setting this to `true` will stop the animation. Often you don't want to directly show / hide the view and instead smoothly fade it in or out. Therefore the view provides the methods `fadeIn(duration:completion)` and `fadeOut(duration:completion)`. Based on my [gist](https://gist.github.com/fxm90/723b5def31b46035cd92a641e3b184f6), these methods adjust the `alpha` value of the view and update the `isHidden` flag accordingly.

+#### GradientLoadingBarView
+This is the SwiftUI variant for the `GradientActivityIndicatorView`. The view can be configured via the two parameters `gradientColors: [Color]` and `progressAnimation: Animation` passed to the initializer.
+
+##### – `gradientColors: [Color]` :
+This parameter adjusts the gradient colors shown on the loading bar.
+
+##### – `progressAnimation: Animation` :
+This parameter adjusts the duration of the animation moving the gradient from left to right.
+
+The visibility of the view can be updated with the view modifier [`opacity()`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/opacity(_:)) or [`hidden()`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/hidden()).
+
+To animate the visibility changes you need to create a property with the `@State` property wrapper, and update the property from a [`withAnimation`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/withanimation(_:_:)) block, e.g.
+
+```swift
+struct ExampleView: some View {
+
+    @State
+    private var isVisible = false
+
+    var body: some View {
+        VStack {
+            GradientLoadingBarView()
+                .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: 3)
+                .cornerRadius(1.5)
+                .opacity(isVisible ? 1 : 0)
+
+            Button("Toggle visibility") {
+                withAnimation(.easeInOut) {
+                    isVisible.toggle()
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```

 ### Troubleshooting
 #### Interface Builder Support
-Unfortunatly the Interface Builder support is currently broken for Cocoapods frameworks. If you need Interface Builder support, add the following code to your Podfile and run `pod install` again. Afterwards you should be able to use the `GradientLoadingBar` inside the Interface Builder :)
