## Basic Animations
With MotionKit, you can easily add basic animations to your app’s UI elements. Here are some examples:
– Fade in/out animations
– Move animations (translation)
– Scale animations
To perform a fade in animation on a view, use the following code:
“` swift
view.alpha = 0 // set initial alpha value to 0 (transparent)
// inside an animation block
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
view.alpha = 1 // fade in by setting alpha to 1 (visible)
}
“`
## Advanced Animations
MotionKit also offers more advanced animation techniques to add richness and depth to your app’s UI. Some of the advanced animation options include:
– Spring animations
– Keyframe animations
– Interactive gestures
To create a spring animation, you can use the following code:
“` swift
view.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 0.5, y: 0.5) // set initial scale
// inside an animation block
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0, usingSpringWithDamping: 0.5, initialSpringVelocity: 0.5, options: [], animations: {
view.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity // animate to normal scale
}, completion: nil)
“`
