Getting Started

To get started with JSAnimatedImagesView, follow these steps:

  1. Import JSAnimatedImagesView into your Swift file:
    2. import JSAnimatedImagesView
  2. Create an instance of JSAnimatedImagesView:
    3. let animatedImagesView = JSAnimatedImagesView(frame: view.bounds)
  3. Set the animation images:
    4. animatedImagesView.dataSource = self
  4. Implement the JSAnimatedImagesViewDataSource protocol:
    5. extension YourViewController: JSAnimatedImagesViewDataSource {
    func animatedImagesNumberOfImages(animatedImagesView: JSAnimatedImagesView) -> UInt {
        // return the number of animation images
        return UInt(numberOfImages)
    }
    
    func animatedImagesView(animatedImagesView: JSAnimatedImagesView, imageAtIndex index: UInt) -> UIImage? {
        // return the image at the specified index
        return UIImage(named: "yourImageName\(index)")
    }
}
  5. Add the animatedImagesView to your view:
    6. view.addSubview(animatedImagesView)
  6. Start the animation:
    7. animatedImagesView.startAnimating()

DataSource Methods

The JSAnimatedImagesViewDataSource protocol provides the following methods:

  • animatedImagesNumberOfImages(animatedImagesView:): This method returns the number of animation images
  • animatedImagesView(animatedImagesView:, imageAtIndex:): This method returns the image at the specified index

Customization

You can customize various aspects of the JSAnimatedImagesView, such as animation duration and animation mode. Here are some of the available options:

Animation Duration

The animation duration determines how long each image will be displayed. You can set it using the animationDuration property:

animatedImagesView.animationDuration = TimeInterval(durationInSeconds)

Animation Mode

The animation mode determines how the animation will be played. There are two available modes:

  • .once: The animation will be played once and stop at the last frame
  • .loop: The animation will be played repeatedly

You can set the animation mode using the animationMode property:

animatedImagesView.animationMode = .loop

Layout

You can customize the layout of the JSAnimatedImagesView using Auto Layout or by setting its frame property.

Delegate

JSAnimatedImagesView provides a delegate protocol, JSAnimatedImagesViewDelegate, which allows you to receive animation events. Currently, the only available delegate method is:

animatedImagesViewDidFinishAnimating(animatedImagesView:)

This method is called when the animation finishes playing. You can implement this method if you need to perform any additional tasks at the end of the animation.
