A Swift animation framework for iOS/tvOS that enables unique easing curves per property with a blocks-based syntax.
FlightAnimator is a Swift animation framework for iOS and tvOS that provides a blocks-based syntax for creating complex, multi-property animations with unique easing curves per property. It solves the limitation of standard Core Animation and UIView animations, which apply a single easing curve to all properties in a group, by enabling fine-grained control and synchronization.
iOS and tvOS developers building applications with sophisticated, natural motion animations who need precise control over individual property easing and synchronization.
Developers choose FlightAnimator for its ability to define complex animations with distinct easing per property using a clean, chainable syntax, along with advanced features like mid-flight synchronization, animation caching, and seamless gesture integration.
Advanced Natural Motion Animations, Simple Blocks Based Syntax
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides a concise, chainable builder pattern that drastically reduces boilerplate compared to Core Animation, as shown in the README's side-by-side code comparison.
Enables unique easing curves for each animated property within a group, with 46+ parametric options, decay, and springs for natural motion effects.
Dynamically syncs animations mid-flight using timing priorities and primary drivers, allowing smooth redirection when animations are interrupted.
Allows registration and caching of animation states for later application, with automatic synchronization to current view values, reducing redundant setup.
The README only specifies Swift 3.1 compatibility with version 0.9.9, lacking updates for newer Swift versions, which may hinder adoption in modern projects.
Advanced features like timing priorities and primary flags require deep understanding, making it overkill for simple animations and increasing learning time.
As a niche framework, it has fewer community resources, tutorials, and third-party extensions compared to mainstream options like UIKit animations.
