## What it is
FRDLivelyButton is an Objective-C UIButton subclass designed for use inside UIBarButtonItem, drawing animated button icons (hamburger, close, plus, etc.) entirely with Core Graphics. It animates style changes and touch events and supports appearance customization via an options dictionary.

## Use cases
- animate a hamburger menu button into a close button in a nav bar
- add animated icon buttons to a UIBarButtonItem on iOS
- draw custom button icons with Core Graphics instead of image assets
- customize button color, line thickness, and animation duration
- build iOS navigation bar buttons with touch feedback animations

## When to avoid
- you are building in Swift with modern SwiftUI or UIKit animation APIs
- you need buttons beyond the five built-in styles or heavy customization
- you require actively maintained dependencies with recent updates
