What it is

ViewAnimator is a Swift library that enables complex UIView animations with single-line syntax, supporting entire views, UITableView/UICollectionView cells, UIStackView subviews, and nested view hierarchies. It abstracts Core Animation boilerplate into declarative animation chains that can be applied to individual views or recursively across container views without manual timing or sequencing logic. Straightforward framework structure: the core animation logic lives in unnamed Swift source files (39.7 KB total), Examples/iOS contains a reference app with AppDelegate and storyboards, and Example assets demonstrate use cases (table, collection, stack animations). No monorepo or package…

Start here

Open these first:

• Sources/ViewAnimator.swift — Core library entry point defining the main animation API and orchestration logic that all animations flow through
• Sources/Animation.swift — Fundamental animation model defining animation parameters, timing, and application logic across all view types
• Sources/Animatable.swift — Protocol that enables any UIView to become animatable; essential for understanding the framework's extension architecture
• Example/iOS/ViewControllers/ViewController.swift — Primary example demonstrating the one-line animation API and how to integrate ViewAnimator into real apps
• Sources/CABasicAnimation+Extension.swift — Core animation execution layer translating ViewAnimator models into native Core Animation primitives

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/marcosgriselli/ViewAnimator.git
cd ViewAnimator
pod install
# Open Example/iOS project in Xcode
open Example/iOS/Example.xcworkspace

Daily commands:

Open Example/iOS/Example.xcworkspace in Xcode (CocoaPods project), build for iOS simulator/device. No CLI tools; run via Xcode IDE or xcodebuild for CI. CocoaPods setup via pod install is required first.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 79% of recent commits
• CocoaPods dependency required before opening .xcworkspace; opening .xcodeproj directly will fail. No visible test suite means manual testing against multiple iOS versions is necessary. Core Animation behavior differs…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
