TiltingLoader is a loading view you can tilt while you wait. The loader is meant to be an easy drop-in reusable UI component built in Swift that will work on iOS 7 and 8. The loader uses UIMotionEffect to create the tilting movement.

Demo

Check out the DemoViewController for specific examples on how to use TiltingLoader

Usage

** Run on a physical device for motion effects **

Create and being animating

var tlView = TiltingLoader(frame: CGRectMake(50, 50, 100, 100), color: UIColor.purpleColor(), cornerRad: 0.0)
tiltLoadingView.enableOverlayOnView(self.view)
tlView.animateColors(false)

Convenience create and begin animating

TiltingLoader.showTiltingLoader(self.view, color: UIColor.orangeColor(), cornerRad: 0.0)

Hide loader

tlView.hide()
// or to hide convenience instance
TiltingLoader.hideTiltingLoader(self.view, dynamic: true)

Customization

Init Params

frame: CGRect	Simply the size of the loader within superview
color: UIColor	The color of the loader, darker colors work best.
cornerRad: CGFloat	is used to determine how rounded the corners of the loader should be.

Before calling animateColors() on a TiltingLoader instance, you can change the following properties:

Required Methods

enableOverlayOnView: UIView?	Enable overlay behind tilting loader if superview has been passed in through this method
animateColors: Bool	Begins color animation process by determining which color iteration method to call. When passing in false, colors animate in reverse.

Configureable Properties

isAnimating: Bool	Getting this value determines if a loader is currently animating. Setting this value makes it so the loader will animate when animateColors() is called. Default: true
animationFrequency: NSTimeInterval	The interval for how often to swap colors in the loader, causing the animation effect. Default: 0.7
dynamicDismissal: Bool	Determines how loader will be removed from superview. If true, loader will drop out and if false, loader will fade out. Default: false

Installation

To install, simple drag the TiltingLoader.swift file to your project and use it.

• Use a briding header to run in an Objective-C project.
• Coming soon: CocoaPods (Adding Swift projects to CocoaPods does not currently work) Check out this CocoaPods issue for more info and progress.

TiltingLoader requires iOS 7 or later.
