A collection of 32 customizable loading animations for iOS apps, built with Swift.
NVActivityIndicatorView is a Swift library that offers a collection of 32 pre-built loading animations for iOS apps. It solves the problem of bland or repetitive loading indicators by providing a variety of smooth, customizable spinners that can be easily integrated into any iOS project.
iOS developers building Swift applications who need to implement loading states with better visual appeal than default system spinners.
Developers choose NVActivityIndicatorView for its extensive animation library, straightforward integration, and flexibility—allowing quick replacement of loading indicators without custom animation code.
A collection of awesome loading animations
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Offers 32 pre-built types like ballPulse and pacman, providing diverse visual styles without needing custom animation code, as listed in the README's animation table.
Supports initialization via storyboard or code with optional parameters, and is available through CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager for easy dependency management.
All properties are public and adjustable before starting animations, allowing developers to tweak color, padding, and type directly, as noted in the 'Change properties' section.
Provides simple methods like startAnimating() and stopAnimating() for easy management of loading states, with a clear API documented in the usage section.
Primarily designed for UIKit, so it lacks native SwiftUI support; the README points to a separate project (LoaderUI) for SwiftUI implementations, adding complexity for modern apps.
Version 5.0.0 introduced breaking changes requiring migration efforts, as highlighted in the migration note, which can disrupt existing projects and increase maintenance overhead.
Solely focused on loading indicators, so it doesn't address broader UI needs or more complex animations, making it a niche tool rather than a comprehensive library.
