GradientLoadingBar
|
||
====================
|
||
|
||
 [](https://travis-ci.org/fxm90/GradientLoadingBar)    
|
||
|
||
A customizable animated gradient loading bar. Inspired by [iOS 7 Progress Bar from Codepen](https://codepen.io/marcobiedermann/pen/LExXWW).
|
||
|
||
### Example
|
||
|
||
|
||
To run the example project, clone the repo, and open the workspace from the Example directory.
|
||
|
||
### Integration
|
||
##### CocoaPods
|
||
GradientLoadingBar can be added to your project using [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org/) by adding the following line to your Podfile:
|
||
```
|
||
pod 'GradientLoadingBar', '~> 2.0'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
###### 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 `GradientActivityIndicatorView` inside the Interface Builder :)
|
||
```
|
||
post_install do |installer|
|
||
installer.pods_project.build_configurations.each do |config|
|
||
next unless config.name == 'Debug'
|
||
|
||
config.build_settings['LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS'] = [
|
||
'$(FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS)'
|
||
]
|
||
end
|
||
end
|
||
```
|
||
Source: [Cocoapods – Issue 7606](https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/7606#issuecomment-484294739)
|
||
|
||
##### Carthage
|
||
To integrate GradientLoadingBar into your Xcode project using [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage), specify it in your Cartfile:
|
||
```
|
||
github "fxm90/GradientLoadingBar" ~> 2.0
|
||
```
|
||
Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built `GradientLoadingBar.framework`, as well as the dependency `LightweightObservable.framework`, into your Xcode project.
|
||
|
||
### How to use
|
||
This framework provides two classes:
|
||
- **GradientLoadingBar**: A controller, managing the visibility of the `GradientActivityIndicatorView` on the current key window.
|
||
- **GradientActivityIndicatorView**: A `UIView` containing the gradient with the animation. It can be added as a subview to another view either inside the interface builder or programmatically. Both ways are shown inside the example application.
|
||
|
||
#### 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.
|
||
```swift
|
||
class UserViewController: UIViewController {
|
||
|
||
private let gradientLoadingBar = GradientLoadingBar()
|
||
|
||
// ...
|
||
|
||
override func viewDidLoad() {
|
||
super.viewDidLoad()
|
||
|
||
gradientLoadingBar.fadeIn()
|
||
|
||
userService.loadUserData { [weak self] _ in
|
||
// ...
|
||
// Be sure to call this on the main thread!!
|
||
self?.gradientLoadingBar.fadeOut()
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
##### Configuration
|
||
You can overwrite the default configuration by calling the initializers with the optional parameters `height` and `isRelativeToSafeArea`:
|
||
```swift
|
||
let gradientLoadingBar = GradientLoadingBar(
|
||
height: 4.0,
|
||
isRelativeToSafeArea: true
|
||
)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
###### – Parameter `height: CGFloat`
|
||
By setting this parameter you can set the height for the loading bar (defaults to `3.0`)
|
||
|
||
###### – Parameter `isRelativeToSafeArea: Bool`
|
||
With this parameter you can configure, whether the loading bar should be positioned relative to the safe area (defaults to `true`).
|
||
|
||
Example with `isRelativeToSafeArea` set to `true`
|
||
[![Example][basic-example--thumbnail]][basic-example]
|
||
|
||
|
||
Example with `isRelativeToSafeArea` set to `false`
|
||
[![Example][safe-area-example--thumbnail]][safe-area-example]
|
||
|
||
##### Properties
|
||
###### – `gradientColors: [UIColor]`
|
||
This property adjusts the gradient colors shown on the loading bar.
|
||
|
||
###### – `progressAnimationDuration: TimeInterval`
|
||
This property adjusts the duration of the animation moving the gradient from left to right.
|
||
|
||
##### Methods
|
||
###### – `fadeIn(duration:completion)`
|
||
This method fades-in the loading bar. You can adjust the duration with coresponding parameter. Furthermore you can pass in a completion handler that gets called once the animation is finished.
|
||
|
||
###### – `fadeOut(duration:completion)`
|
||
This methods fades-out the loading bar. You can adjust the duration with coresponding parameter. Furthermore you can pass in a completion handler that gets called once the animation is finished.
|
||
|
||
##### Custom shared instance (Singleton)
|
||
If you need the loading bar on multiple / different parts of your app, you can use the given static `shared` variable:
|
||
```swift
|
||
GradientLoadingBar.shared.fadeIn()
|
||
|
||
// Do e.g. server calls etc.
|
||
|
||
GradientLoadingBar.shared.fadeOut()
|
||
```
|
||
If you wish to customize the shared instance, you can add the following code e.g. to your app delegate `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions` method and overwrite the `shared` variable:
|
||
```swift
|
||
GradientLoadingBar.shared = GradientLoadingBar(height: 5.0)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### GradientActivityIndicatorView
|
||
In case you don't want to add the loading bar onto the key-window, this framework provides the `GradientActivityIndicatorView`, which is a direct subclass of `UIView`. You can add the view to another view either inside the interface builder or programmatically.
|
||
|
||
E.g. View added as a subview to a `UINavigationBar`
|
||
[![Example][navigation-bar-example--thumbnail]][navigation-bar-example]
|
||
|
||
|
||
E.g. View added as a subview to a `UIButton`
|
||
[![Example][advanced-example--thumbnail]][advanced-example]
|
||
|
||
**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.
|
||
|
||
##### Properties
|
||
###### – `gradientColors: [UIColor]`
|
||
This property adjusts the gradient colors shown on the loading bar.
|
||
|
||
###### – `progressAnimationDuration: TimeInterval`
|
||
This property adjusts the duration of the animation moving the gradient from left to right.
|
||
|
||
*To see all these screenshots in a real app, please have a look at the **example application**. For further customization you can also subclass `GradientLoadingBar` and overwrite the method `setupConstraints()`.*
