Question 1

How do I set up Parade in an iOS app?

Accepted Answer

Initialize it in your AppDelegate with UIScrollView.initializeParade(), then implement PDAnimatableType on your views to define animations using the blocks-based syntax for start and end states, as shown in the Basic Use section.

Question 2

Parade vs manual UIKit scroll animations: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Parade is better for complex, coordinated animations with minimal code, while manual UIKit gives more low-level control but requires handling scroll delegates and interpolation logic yourself. Parade simplifies the process but adds framework dependency.

Question 3

Can Parade animations work with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Not directly; you need to wrap Parade-animated views in UIViewRepresentable to integrate with SwiftUI, which can be cumbersome and may not leverage SwiftUI's reactive animation system optimally.

Question 4

How to chain multiple animations together in Parade?

Accepted Answer

Use the attachAnimatableView method on subviews that implement PDAnimatableType, allowing progress communication to nested views for layered effects, as explained in the Chaining Animations section with code examples.

Question 5

What easing curves are available in Parade and how do I apply them?

Accepted Answer

Parade offers 46 easing curves like .inSine and .outCubic; apply them by calling .easing(.curveName) on property definitions in the state closures, detailed in the Parametric Easing table with a link to visual references.

Question 6

Does Parade affect scroll performance in large lists?

Accepted Answer

Yes, animating many properties per cell can impact performance; optimize by limiting animations or adjusting progress ranges, but be cautious with data-heavy UICollectionViews or UITableViews where continuous interpolation adds overhead.
