A UICollectionViewLayout subclass that adds custom scroll animations to UICollectionView without breaking existing code.
AnimatedCollectionViewLayout is a Swift library that provides a UICollectionViewLayout subclass to add custom scroll animations and transition effects to iOS collection views. It solves the problem of static, non-animated scrolling in UICollectionView by offering a simple drop-in solution that doesn't require rewriting existing collection view code.
iOS developers building apps with UICollectionView who want to enhance user experience with smooth scroll animations without major code refactoring.
Developers choose this library because it's the simplest way to add animations to UICollectionView—using a layout subclass means no changes to existing cells or collection view logic, and it comes with multiple built-in animators that work out of the box.

As a drop-in UICollectionViewLayout subclass, it requires no changes to existing UICollectionView or cell code, making it easy to adopt without refactoring.
Includes multiple ready-to-use effects like Parallax, ZoomInOut, and Cube, demonstrated with GIFs in the README, saving development time for common transitions.
Allows creating bespoke animations by implementing the LayoutAttributesAnimator protocol, providing flexibility beyond the built-in options.
Most animators are designed for paging-enabled collection views, ensuring smooth and visually appealing transitions in common use cases like onboarding or galleries.
The README explicitly states that most built-in animators work best with paging, making non-paging scroll behaviors less effective or poorly supported.
Beyond basic setup, the README lacks detailed guides on custom animator implementation, performance optimization, or handling edge cases, which could hinder complex use.
Requires iOS 9.0 or higher, excluding support for older devices or legacy projects that need to target earlier iOS versions.
