Question 1

How do I chain multiple animations together in Wave?

Accepted Answer

Use the .sequence() method for sequential animations or .parallel() for concurrent ones. For example, view.run(.sequence([.fadeIn(), .fadeOut()])) runs animations in order, as demonstrated in the README code snippet.

Question 2

Is Wave better than using UIView.animate for simple animations?

Accepted Answer

For simple, single animations, UIView.animate is more straightforward and lightweight. Wave shines when you need complex sequences or parallels, offering better readability and maintainability for multi-step workflows.

Question 3

Does Wave work with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, Wave is designed for UIKit and Core Animation. It doesn't natively support SwiftUI animations, so you'd need to use UIViewRepresentable or similar bridges, or consider SwiftUI-native animation frameworks instead.

Question 4

How can I create a custom animation type in Wave?

Accepted Answer

Wave is extensible; you can define custom animations by conforming to the animation protocols. Check the source code or contributing guidelines for details on extending the framework with new behaviors.

Question 5

What are the performance implications of using Wave?

Accepted Answer

Wave builds on top of Core Animation, so performance is generally good for UI animations. However, the abstraction layer might add minimal overhead compared to direct Core Animation calls, but it's negligible for most use cases.

Question 6

Are there any examples of complex animations using Wave?

Accepted Answer

The README includes a GIF and a code snippet demonstrating sequence and parallel animations. For more examples, you might need to explore the GitHub repository, community contributions, or the author's other apps for inspiration.
