A simple ticker library for iOS

A Swift library for animating labels and text fields

Installation

Manually:

Simply copy the QuickTicker.Swift file to your project (it is located in QuickTicker > Classes)

Cocoapods:

QuickTicker is also available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'QuickTicker'

Features

• Simple syntax similar to UIView's animate methods
• It works even if there is text mixed in with numbers in the same label. Text remains intact while the digits get animated!
• Works on both UILabels and UITextFields, and accepts any Numeric value (no need to type cast or convert)
• Completion handler lets you safely queue-up actions following the animation
• You can optionally specify animation curves and decimal points for the label
• Completely safe to destroy or deallocate your label mid-animation, no strong reference is kept
• Unit tested and checked for memory leaks

Quick Functions

You can get started with a simple one line function call

QuickTicker.animate(label: textLabel, toEndValue: 250)

The default duration is 2 seconds, but that can be easily changed

QuickTicker.animate(label: textLabel, toEndValue: 250, duration: 4.3)

You can also specify the animation curve

QuickTicker.animate(label: textLabel, toEndValue: 250, options: [.easeOut])

Advanced Quick Ticker

You can optionally specify the duration, the animation curve, decimal points, and add a completion handler to be executed at the end of the animation.

QuickTicker.animate(label: textLabel, toEndValue: 250, duration: 4.3, options: [.easeOut, .decimalPoints(2)], completion: {
                        print("Ticker animation done!")
                    })

Enter any of the following types as the end value for the animation, no need to type cast!

• Double
• Int
