Hero iOS
Elegant transition library for iOS & tvOS
Hero is a library for building iOS view controller transitions. It provides a declarative layer on top of the UIKit’s cumbersome transition APIs—making custom transitions an easy task for developers. Hero is similar to Keynote’s Magic Move. It checks the heroID property on all source and destination views. Every matched view pair is then automatically transitioned from its old state to its new state. Hero can also construct animations for unmatched views. It is easy to define these animations via the heroModifiers property. Hero will run these animations alongside the Magic Move animations. All of these animations can be interactively controlled by user gestures. By default, Hero provides dynamic duration based on the Material Design Motion Guide. Duration is automatically determined by changes to distance and size—saving you the hassle, while providing consistent and delightful animations. -

Shape Shifter
SVG icon animation tool for Android, iOS, and the web
Shape Shifter is a web-app that simplifies the creation of icon animations for Android, iOS, and the web. This tool currently exports to standalone SVGs, SVG spritesheets, and CSS keyframe animations for the web, as well as to AnimatedVectorDrawable format for Android. I am totally open to adding support for other export formats as well, so if you have a format that you'd like to see added in the future, file a feature request! The ability to add/remove points to each path without altering their original appearance. The added points can be modified by dragging them to different positions along the path, and they can be later deleted using the keyboard as well. The ability to reverse/shift the relative positions of each path's points. While reordering points won't affect whether or not two paths are compatible, it often plays a huge role in determining the appearance of the resulting animation. -

RealityUI
A Swift Package for creating familiar UI Elements and animation
RealityUI is a collection of user interface classes for RealityKit. The classes included in RealityUI aim to offer familiar User Interface guidelines, but in a 3D setting for Augmented and Virtual Reality through RealityKit. The User Interface controls in this repository so far are made to be familiar to what people are used to with 2D interfaces, however the plan is to expand the tools on offer to new and unique controls, which are more appropriate for an Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality context. RUISwitch is a 3D toggle switch with an on and off state. Default bounding box is 2x1x1m. RUIStepper is used to increment or decrement a value. Default bounding box is 2x1x0.25m. An interactive track to represent an interpolated value. Default bounding box is 10x1x1m including thumb. RUIButton is used to initiate a specified action. The action here will only trigger if the gesture begins on a button, and also ends on the same button. -

Advance
Physics-based animations for iOS, tvOS, and macOS
An animation library for iOS, tvOS, and macOS that uses physics-based animations (including springs) to power interactions that move and respond realistically. There are several ways to integrate Advance into your project. Advance animations are applied on every frame (using CADisplayLink on iOS/tvOS, and CVDisplayLink on macOS), allowing for fine-grained control at any time. Animator allows for more flexibility in the types of animation that can be performed, but gives up some convenience in order to do so. Specifically, animators allow for any type of animation or simulation to be performed for a single value. Simulated animations use a simulation function to power a physics-based transition. Simulation functions are types conforming to the SimulationFunction protocol. Values conforming to the VectorConvertible protocol can be animated by Advance. Conforming types can be converted to and from a Vector implementation. -

AnimatedCollectionViewLayout
UICollectionViewLayout subclass adding custom transitions/animations
A UICollectionViewLayout subclass that adds custom transitions/animations to the UICollectionView without effecting your existing code. Normally a UICollectionView has no transition effects when you scroll from one item to another. There are lots of ways to write animations for UICollectionView, but using a UICollectionViewLayout subclass is by far the simplest one. And it doesn't break any of your existing code. You can still use your UICollectionView subclass and you don't need to change your UICollectionViewCell. Just plug and enjoy. Most of the built-in animators work best in Paging mode and they have additional parameters that you can tweak for better transitions. You can also write your own animators by implementing the protocol LayoutAttributesAnimator. AnimatedCollectionViewLayout is available under the MIT license. -

Display Switcher
Custom transition between two collection view layouts
We designed a UI that allows users to switch between list and grid views on the fly and choose the most convenient display type. List view usually provides more details about each user or contact. Grid view allows more users or contacts to appear on the screen at the same time. We created design mockups for both list and grid views using Sketch. As soon as the mockups were ready, we used Principle to create a smooth transition between the two display types. Note that the hamburger menu changes its appearance depending on which view is activated.
