# amosgyamfi/open-swiftui-animations

You don't need an animation library to add a simple effect to your SwiftUI app. Create it yourself with SwiftUI. This repo inspires you to add helpful and expressive SwiftUI animations like loading/progress, looping, on-off, enter, exit, fade, spin, and background animations to your next project. The repo also contains tremendous spring animations.

## What it is
A collection of pure SwiftUI animation examples and inspiration for iOS, macOS, visionOS, and watchOS apps, covering loading, looping, transitions, spring, and background animations. It is an open-source Xcode project demonstrating techniques like PhaseAnimator, KeyframeAnimator, and Symbol Effects rather than an installable library.

## Use cases
- add a loading spinner animation to my SwiftUI app
- learn how to create spring animations in SwiftUI
- find examples of SwiftUI transition and exit animations
- implement a looping progress animation without a library
- recreate the Dynamic Island animation in SwiftUI
- learn PhaseAnimator and KeyframeAnimator examples for iOS 17

## When to choose
- you want copy-paste SwiftUI animation code instead of a dependency
- you need inspiration for expressive UI effects in Apple-platform apps
- you are learning modern SwiftUI animation APIs like springs and phase animators

## When to avoid
- you need an installable animation library or package dependency
- you are building for non-Apple platforms like Android or web
- you need production-tested, unit-tested animation components

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: animation, ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, tutorials, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform
