I have a basic setup to show another view over my ContentView using the code below.
struct ContentView: View {
#State var otherViewShowing: Bool = true
var body: some View {
if otherViewShowing {
OtherView(amIShowing: $otherViewShowing)
} else {
Text("Hello, world!")
}
}
}
When I set the "otherViewShowing" variable to false through changing "amIShowing" in the button in OtherView, though, the view abruptly disappears and the text for "Hello, world!" is shown immediately. I'm trying to get the OtherView to play the scaling down animation before updating the ContentView to show "Hello, world!" so it's a bit smoother.
struct OtherView: View {
#Binding var amIShowing: Bool
#State private var scaleAmount: CGFloat = 1
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Tap me") {
withAnimation(.default) {
amIShowing = false
scaleAmount = 0
}
}
}
.scaleEffect(scaleAmount)
}
}
Any thoughts on accomplishing this? Thank you in advance.
you can give duration and delay for this.
delay: Delays the animation for 2 seconds.
duration: Determines the duration of the animation.
VStack {
Button("Tap me") {
withAnimation(Animation.easeIn(duration: 2).delay(2)) {
amIShowing = false
scaleAmount = 0
}
}
}
.scaleEffect(scaleAmount)
In SwiftUI, I've got an overarching view setup like this:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
#State var index: Int = 0
var body: some View {
if self.index == 0{
FirstView(index: $index)
}
if self.index == 1 {
SecondView(index: $index)
.transition(.move(edge: .bottom))
.animation(.easeIn)
}
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
Where I have a button in FirstView that is equivalent of:
Button(action: {
self.index = 1
}){
Text("Change view")
}
This works fine and all is good, but I notice that, with this method, any views conditional on an if/else statement in the child views with a transition animation (i.e. SecondView in this case), also have these animations applied.
So, for example, if SecondView was as follows:
struct SecondView: View {
#Binding var index: Int
#State var boolean: Bool = false
var body: some View {
VStack{
if self.boolean == true {
Text("Hello!")
}
Button(action: {
self.boolean = true
}){
Text("change boolean")
}
}
}
}
the Text("Hello") would also have the .transition(.move(edge: .bottom)) transition.
Is there any way to prevent this/a better way to create a transition animation from one view to another?
I want to make an animation view, it will rotate when clicked.
like this:
struct AnimatedView: View {
#State var degree: Double = 0.0
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Image("picture")
.rotationEffect(.degrees(degree))
.animation(
Animation.linear(duration: 2)
)
Button(action: {
self.degree = 180.0
}) {
Text("animate").frame(width: 100, height: 100)
}
}
}
func active() {
self.degree = 180.0
}
}
I place this view in ContentView, and I want to active the animation from other button not in the view.
I found function active can't change degree value, so the animation not start.
I knew use #Blinding keep degree variable in ContentView may work, but I don't like too much variable in there.
As you said, you need to use a #Binding, i.e.
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var degree: Double = 0.0
var body: some View {
VStack {
AnimatedView(degree: $degree)
Button(action: {
self.degree += 180.0
}) {
Text("animate")
}
}
}
}
struct AnimatedView: View {
#Binding var degree: Double
var body: some View {
Image(systemName: "checkmark")
.rotationEffect(.degrees(degree))
.animation(
Animation.linear(duration: 2)
)
}
}
I'm quite new to the SwiftUI framework and I haven't wrapped my head around all of it yet so please bear with me.
Is there a way to trigger an "overlay view" from inside "another view" when its binding changes? See illustration below:
I figure this "overlay view" would wrap all my views. I'm not sure how to do this yet - maybe using ZIndex. I also guess I'd need some sort of callback when the binding changes, but I'm also not sure how to do that either.
This is what I've got so far:
ContentView
struct ContentView : View {
#State private var liked: Bool = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
LikeButton(liked: $liked)
}
}
}
LikeButton
struct LikeButton : View {
#Binding var liked: Bool
var body: some View {
Button(action: { self.toggleLiked() }) {
Image(systemName: liked ? "heart" : "heart.fill")
}
}
private func toggleLiked() {
self.liked = !self.liked
// NEED SOME SORT OF TOAST CALLBACK HERE
}
}
I feel like I need some sort of callback inside my LikeButton, but I'm not sure how this all works in Swift.
Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
It's quite easy - and entertaining - to build a "toast" in SwiftUI!
Let's do it!
struct Toast<Presenting>: View where Presenting: View {
/// The binding that decides the appropriate drawing in the body.
#Binding var isShowing: Bool
/// The view that will be "presenting" this toast
let presenting: () -> Presenting
/// The text to show
let text: Text
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
ZStack(alignment: .center) {
self.presenting()
.blur(radius: self.isShowing ? 1 : 0)
VStack {
self.text
}
.frame(width: geometry.size.width / 2,
height: geometry.size.height / 5)
.background(Color.secondary.colorInvert())
.foregroundColor(Color.primary)
.cornerRadius(20)
.transition(.slide)
.opacity(self.isShowing ? 1 : 0)
}
}
}
}
Explanation of the body:
GeometryReader gives us the preferred size of the superview , thus allowing the perfect sizing for our Toast.
ZStack stacks views on top of each other.
The logic is trivial: if the toast is not supposed to be seen (isShowing == false), then we render the presenting view. If the toast has to be presented (isShowing == true), then we render the presenting view with a little bit of blur - because we can - and we create our toast next.
The toast is just a VStack with a Text, with custom frame sizing, some design bells and whistles (colors and corner radius), and a default slide transition.
I added this method on View to make the Toast creation easier:
extension View {
func toast(isShowing: Binding<Bool>, text: Text) -> some View {
Toast(isShowing: isShowing,
presenting: { self },
text: text)
}
}
And a little demo on how to use it:
struct ContentView: View {
#State var showToast: Bool = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List(0..<100) { item in
Text("\(item)")
}
.navigationBarTitle(Text("A List"), displayMode: .large)
.navigationBarItems(trailing: Button(action: {
withAnimation {
self.showToast.toggle()
}
}){
Text("Toggle toast")
})
}
.toast(isShowing: $showToast, text: Text("Hello toast!"))
}
}
I used a NavigationView to make sure the view fills the entire screen, so the Toast is sized and positioned correctly.
The withAnimation block ensures the Toast transition is applied.
How it looks:
It's easy to extend the Toast with the power of SwiftUI DSL.
The Text property can easily become a #ViewBuilder closure to accomodate the most extravagant of the layouts.
To add it to your content view:
struct ContentView : View {
#State private var liked: Bool = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
LikeButton(liked: $liked)
}
// make it bigger by using "frame" or wrapping it in "NavigationView"
.toast(isShowing: $liked, text: Text("Hello toast!"))
}
}
How to hide the toast afte 2 seconds (as requested):
Append this code after .transition(.slide) in the toast VStack.
.onAppear {
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 2) {
withAnimation {
self.isShowing = false
}
}
}
Tested on Xcode 11.1
I modified Matteo Pacini's great answer, above, incorporating comments to have the Toast fade in and fade out after a delay. I also modified the View extension to be a bit more generic, and to accept a trailing closure similar to the way .sheet works.
ContentView.swift:
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var lightsOn: Bool = false
#State private var showToast: Bool = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button(action: {
if (!self.showToast) {
self.lightsOn.toggle()
withAnimation {
self.showToast = true
}
}
}){
Text("switch")
} //Button
.padding(.top)
Image(systemName: self.lightsOn ? "lightbulb" : "lightbulb.fill")
.resizable()
.aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
.padding(.all)
.toast(isPresented: self.$showToast) {
HStack {
Text("Lights: \(self.lightsOn ? "ON" : "OFF")")
Image(systemName: self.lightsOn ? "lightbulb" : "lightbulb.fill")
} //HStack
} //toast
} //VStack
} //body
} //ContentView
View+Toast.swift:
extension View {
func toast<Content>(isPresented: Binding<Bool>, content: #escaping () -> Content) -> some View where Content: View {
Toast(
isPresented: isPresented,
presenter: { self },
content: content
)
}
}
Toast.swift:
struct Toast<Presenting, Content>: View where Presenting: View, Content: View {
#Binding var isPresented: Bool
let presenter: () -> Presenting
let content: () -> Content
let delay: TimeInterval = 2
var body: some View {
if self.isPresented {
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + self.delay) {
withAnimation {
self.isPresented = false
}
}
}
return GeometryReader { geometry in
ZStack(alignment: .bottom) {
self.presenter()
ZStack {
Capsule()
.fill(Color.gray)
self.content()
} //ZStack (inner)
.frame(width: geometry.size.width / 1.25, height: geometry.size.height / 10)
.opacity(self.isPresented ? 1 : 0)
} //ZStack (outer)
.padding(.bottom)
} //GeometryReader
} //body
} //Toast
With this you could toast Text, or an Image (or both, as shown below), or any other View.
here is the how to overlay on all of your views including NavigationView!
create a class model to store your views!
class ParentView:ObservableObject {
#Published var view:AnyView = AnyView(EmptyView())
}
create the model in your parrent view and call it in your view hierarchy
pass this class to your environment object of your parent view
struct Example: View {
#StateObject var parentView = ParentView()
var body: some View {
ZStack{
NavigationView{
ChildView()
.environmentObject(parentView)
.navigationTitle("dynamic parent view")
}
parentView.view
}
}
}
from now on you can call parentview in your child view by
#EnvironmentObject var parentView:ParentView
then for example in your tap gesture, you can change the parent view and show a pop up that covers everything including your navigationviews
#StateObject var parentView = ParentView()
here is the full solution copy and play with it in your preview!
import SwiftUI
class ParentView:ObservableObject {
#Published var view:AnyView = AnyView(EmptyView())
}
struct example: View {
#StateObject var parentView = ParentView()
var body: some View {
ZStack{
NavigationView{
ChildView()
.environmentObject(parentView)
.navigationTitle("dynamic parent view")
}
parentView.view
}
}
}
struct ChildView: View {
#EnvironmentObject var parentView:ParentView
var body: some View {
ZStack{
Text("hello")
.onTapGesture {
parentView.view = AnyView(Color.red.opacity(0.4).ignoresSafeArea())
}
}
}
}
struct example_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
example()
}
}
also you can improve this dramatically like this...!
struct ParentViewModifire:ViewModifier {
#EnvironmentObject var parentView:ParentView
#Binding var presented:Bool
let anyView:AnyView
func body(content: Content) -> some View {
content
.onChange(of: presented, perform: { value in
if value {
parentView.view = anyView
}
})
}
}
extension View {
func overlayAll<Overlay>(_ overlay: Overlay, presented: Binding<Bool>) -> some View where Overlay : View {
self
.modifier(ParentViewModifire(presented: presented, anyView: AnyView(overlay)))
}
}
now in your child view you can call this modifier on your view
struct ChildView: View {
#State var newItemPopUp:Bool = false
var body: some View {
ZStack{
Text("hello")
.overlayAll(newCardPopup, presented: $newItemPopUp)
}
}
}
App-wide View
If you want it to be app-wide, put in somewhere app-wide! For example, you can add it to the MyProjectApp.swift (or in sceneDelegate for UIKit/AppDelegate projects) file like this:
Note that the button and the State are just for more explanation and you may consider changing them in the way you like
#main
struct SwiftUIAppPlaygroundApp: App { // <- Note that where we are!
#State var showToast = false
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
Button("App-Wide Button") { showToast.toggle() }
ZStack {
ContentView() // <- The app flow
if showToast {
MyCustomToastView().ignoresSafeArea(.all, edges: .all) // <- App-wide overlays
}
}
}
}
}
See? now you can add any sort of view on anywhere of the screen, without blocking animations. Just convert that #State to some sort of AppState like Observables or Environments and boom! 💥 you did it!
Note that it is a demo, you should use an environment variable or smt to be able for changing it from outside of this view's body
Apple does not currently provide any APIs that allow you to make global views similar to their own alert pop-ups.
In fact these views are actually still using UIKit under the hood.
If you want your own global pop-ups you can sort of hack your own (note this isn't tested, but something very similar should work for global presentation of toasts):
import SwiftUI
import Foundation
/// Global class that will manage toasts
class ToastPresenter: ObservableObject {
// This static property probably isn't even needed as you can inject via #EnvironmentObject
static let shared: ToastPresenter = ToastPresenter()
private init() {}
#Published private(set) var isPresented: Bool = false
private(set) var text: String?
private var timer: Timer?
/// Call this function to present toasts
func presentToast(text: String, duration: TimeInterval = 5) {
// reset the toast if one is currently being presented.
isPresented = false
self.text = nil
timer?.invalidate()
self.text = text
isPresented = true
timer = Timer(timeInterval: duration, repeats: false) { [weak self] _ in
self?.isPresented = false
}
}
}
/// The UI for a toast
struct Toast: View {
var text: String
var body: some View {
Text(text)
.padding()
.background(Capsule().fill(Color.gray))
.shadow(radius: 6)
.transition(AnyTransition.opacity.animation(.default))
}
}
extension View {
/// ViewModifier that will present a toast when its binding changes
#ViewBuilder func toast(presented: Binding<Bool>, text: String) -> some View {
ZStack {
self
if presented.wrappedValue {
Toast(text: text)
}
}
.ignoresSafeArea(.all, edges: .all)
}
}
/// The first view in your app's view hierarchy
struct RootView: View {
#StateObject var toastPresenter = ToastPresenter.shared
var body: some View {
MyAppMainView()
.toast(presented: $toastPresenter.isPresented, text: toastPresenter.text)
// Inject the toast presenter into the view hierarchy
.environmentObject(toastPresenter)
}
}
/// Some view later on in the app
struct SomeViewDeepInTheHierarchy: View {
#EnvironmentObject var toastPresenter: ToastPresenter
var body: some View {
Button {
toastPresenter.presentToast(text: "Hello World")
} label: {
Text("Show Toast")
}
}
}
Use .presentation() to show an alert when the button is tapped.
In LikeButton:
#Binding var liked: Bool
var body: some View {
Button(action: {self.liked = !self.liked}, label: {
Image(systemName: liked ? "heart.fill" : "heart")
}).presentation($liked) { () -> Alert in
Alert.init(title: Text("Thanks for liking!"))
}
}
You can also use .presentation() to present other Modal views, like a Popover or ActionSheet. See here and the "See Also" section on that page in Apple's SwiftUI documentation for info on the different .presentation() options.
Edit: Example of what you want with a custom view using Popover:
#State var liked = false
let popover = Popover(content: Text("Thanks for liking!").frame(width: 200, height: 100).background(Color.white), dismissHandler: {})
var body: some View {
Button(action: {self.liked = !self.liked}, label: {
Image(systemName: liked ? "heart.fill" : "heart")
}).presentation(liked ? popover : nil)
}
I am using this open source: https://github.com/huynguyencong/ToastSwiftUI . It is very simple to use.
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var isShowingToast = false
var body: some View {
VStack(spacing: 20) {
Button("Show toast") {
self.isShowingToast = true
}
Spacer()
}
.padding()
// Just add a modifier to show a toast, with binding variable to control
.toast(isPresenting: $isShowingToast, dismissType: .after(3)) {
ToastView(message: "Hello world!", icon: .info)
}
}
}
How can I make an element such as a text field scale up and then down continuously?
I have this:
struct ContentView : View {
#State var size:Double = 0.5
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Text("Hello!")
.padding()
.scaleEffect(size)
}
}
}
I know I need to increase size and then decrease it in some sort of loop but the following cannot be done in SwiftUI:
while true {
self.size += 0.8
sleep(0.2)
self.size -= 0.8
}
A possible solution is to use a (repeating, auto-reversing) animation:
struct ContentView : View {
#State var size: CGFloat = 0.5
var repeatingAnimation: Animation {
Animation
.easeInOut(duration: 2) //.easeIn, .easyOut, .linear, etc...
.repeatForever()
}
var body: some View {
Text("Hello!")
.padding()
.scaleEffect(size)
.onAppear() {
withAnimation(self.repeatingAnimation) { self.size = 1.3 }
}
}
}
Animation.basic is deprecated. Basic animations are now named after their curve types: like linear, etc:
var foreverAnimation: Animation {
Animation.linear(duration: 0.3)
.repeatForever()
}
Source:
https://forums.swift.org/t/swiftui-animation-basic-duration-curve-deprecated/27076
The best way is to create separate animation struct and configure all the options you need(this way your code will be more compact).
To make it more clear and logical use #State property isAnimating. You will be able to stop your animation and resume again and understand when it is in progress.
#State private var isAnimating = false
var foreverAnimation: Animation {
Animation.linear(duration: 0.3)
.repeatForever()
}
var body: some View {
Text("Hello")
.scaleEffect(isAnimating ? 1.5 : 1)
.animation(foreverAnimation)
.onAppear {
self.isAnimating = true
}
}
Using a repeating animation on a view has weird behaviour when used inside if statements.
If you want to do:
if something {
BlinkingView()
}
use a transition with an animation modifier, otherwise the view stays on the screen even after something is set to false.
I made this extension to show a view that repeats change from one state to the next and back:
extension AnyTransition {
static func repeating<T: ViewModifier>(from: T, to: T, duration: Double = 1) -> AnyTransition {
.asymmetric(
insertion: AnyTransition
.modifier(active: from, identity: to)
.animation(Animation.easeInOut(duration: duration).repeatForever())
.combined(with: .opacity),
removal: .opacity
)
}
}
This makes the view appear and disappear with AnyTransition.opacity and while it is shown it switches between the from and to state with a delay of duration.
Example usage:
struct Opacity: ViewModifier {
private let opacity: Double
init(_ opacity: Double) {
self.opacity = opacity
}
func body(content: Content) -> some View {
content.opacity(opacity)
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
#State var showBlinkingView: Bool = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
if showBlinkingView {
Text("I am blinking")
.transition(.repeating(from: Opacity(0.3), to: Opacity(0.7)))
}
Spacer()
Button(action: {
self.showBlinkingView.toggle()
}, label: {
Text("Toggle blinking view")
})
}.padding(.vertical, 50)
}
}
Edit:
When the show condition is true on appear, the transition doesn't start. To fix this I do toggle the condition on appear of the superview (The VStack in my example):
.onAppear {
if self.showBlinkingView {
self.showBlinkingView.toggle()
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.showBlinkingView.toggle()
}
}
}
