A fully customizable iOS control for implementing Facebook-like reaction buttons and selectors in Swift.
Reactions is an iOS library that provides fully customizable UI controls for implementing Facebook-like reaction systems in Swift applications. It solves the problem of adding expressive, interactive reaction buttons and selectors to iOS apps without building them from scratch. The library includes ready-to-use components for displaying, selecting, and summarizing reactions with extensive customization options.
iOS developers building social, content-driven, or community-focused applications who need to implement reaction features similar to Facebook's reactions. It's particularly useful for developers who want polished reaction UI without custom implementation.
Developers choose Reactions because it provides production-ready, well-tested components that match Facebook's interaction patterns while offering complete customization. Unlike building from scratch, it saves development time and ensures consistent behavior across iOS versions.
Fully customizable Facebook reactions like control
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 production-ready components that closely mimic Facebook's reaction system, including predefined reactions like 'love' and 'wow', ensuring a familiar and tested user experience.
Each component has a dedicated config object (e.g., ReactionSelectorConfig) for fine-tuning spacing, colors, fonts, and behavior, as demonstrated in the README with examples for icon size and alignment.
Covers the full reaction workflow with ReactionSelector for selection, ReactionButton for toggling, and ReactionSummary for display, reducing the need for additional UI development.
The README includes clear code snippets for usage and supports multiple installation methods like CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager, easing integration.
Only available for iOS (8.0+), making it unsuitable for cross-platform projects without duplicating effort for other platforms like Android or web.
While configurable, the library is built around Facebook's reaction model; apps needing entirely custom UI paradigms (e.g., non-icon-based reactions) may find it restrictive.
Adds an external library dependency, which can complicate projects aiming for minimal external reliance or those with stringent security reviews.
