Currently the animation shows up front when the button is created. It would be great to control if animation is required for the initial state or if the button should show the initial type with no animation.

Thanks for this awesome animated button!

Hi, when I added VBFPopFlatButton as UIBarButtonItem, the all touches are not recognized from first time – it's very bad triggered. My try was in that way:

        self.addTaskButton = [[VBFPopFlatButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 25, 25) buttonType:buttonAddType buttonStyle:buttonPlainStyle animateToInitialState:YES];
        self.addTaskButton.lineThickness = 2;
        self.addTaskButton.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
        [self.addTaskButton addTarget:self
                               action:@selector(addTask)
                     forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

        UIView *containingView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 25, 25)];
//        UITapGestureRecognizer *singleFingerTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(addTask)];
//        [containingView addGestureRecognizer:singleFingerTap];
        [containingView addSubview:self.addTaskButton];
        UIBarButtonItem *containingBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:containingView];
        self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = containingBarButton;

Then I tried to make containing view tappable and increase its area but this didn't help. I know that UIButton and UIBarButtonItem are the different things but maybe someone could help me to make VBFPopFlatButton work as normal default UIBarButtonItem and make it excellent triggering? Thanks.

Hi @victorBaro ,

First of all I would like to appreciate for creating such a cool animation buttons

I want to know is this library still in active development? I am planning to write a ReactNative wrapper around the same

Thanks Pranav

The lineColor property should be removed in favor of the tintColor property. UIButtons on iOS 7+ set the color of their (background)images (if the images are template images) via the tintColor property and so should VBFPopFlatButton. The lineColor could be deprecated, and then removed in the future in favor of tintColor.

Additionally, I would like to add a feature to set the tintColor based on the state of the button. A setTintColor:forState: method. This would allow to set different colors for different states (for example a darker color when the button is highlighted, etc), which is currently not possible.

I would fork the repo, add these features and then send a pull request. But please let me know before I do that if you would pull these changes!

Cheers :)

Hi, here's my scenario:

I have [self.button animateToType:buttonCloseType] fire when the button is tapped, coming from buttonMenuType, which opens up an RNFrostedSidebar.

When the sidebar is dismissed, it fires it's own delegate method didDismissFromScreen, and in there, i have [self.button animateToType:buttonMenuType], which fires fine.

After that, when I tap the button again, the RNFrostedSidebar opens up, but I no longer get any animations, but the self.button.currentButtonType shows the correct button type both before and after firing animateToType even though the animation doesn't fire. Any thoughts?

Hi there,

In readme, the link https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b18993cbfe91de8abdc0019dc9a6cd44707eec21/68747470733a2f2f6431337961637572716a676172612e636c6f756466726f6e742e6e65742f75736572732f3338313133332f73637265656e73686f74732f313639363538302f766266706f70666c6174627574746f6e332e676966 is a broken link. It says it's supposed to give us the animated prview.

Thanx for this great Control, its really awsome :+1: I ran into an issue here -> I cloned the repo and it was not building the first time , so I ran pod install and it builds now . it might be a problem with me only , am not sure ..

the other two comments are refactoring ..

from Apple statement "Don’t Use Accessor Methods in Initializer Methods and dealloc" "https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/Articles/mmPractical.html" an thus I removed some checks on nil values since its no more needed .. e.g _topLine is not going to be nill . from my debugging observations.. Thnx again :) " I created the pull request before committing the latest 2 commits, am confused :/ "

The first letter of "pod" should be lowercase.

pod update

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: undefined method `Pod' for Podfile:Pod::Podfile. Updating CocoaPods might fix the issue.

 #  from /xxxxx/myDemo/Podfile:20

 #  pod 'pop'
 >  Pod 'VBFPopFlatButton'
 #  
 #  -------------------------------------------

tag 0.0.2 has a bug that in method (void)animateToType:(FlatButtonType)finalType, forget to set self.currentButtonType, but I can see this bug has been fixed on master.

This pull requests corrects the spelling of CocoaPods 🤓 https://github.com/CocoaPods/shared_resources/tree/master/media

One day I’ll make a bot that looks through the READMEs of all Pods, looks to see if it uses “Cocoapods” and PRs “CocoaPods” :D

Hi @victorBaro

This is with reference to issue: 39

I have created the React Native bridge plugin for using this library with React Native projects.

I have added the same in README. Can you please merge this request so that if someone is looking to use this library for React Native projects can easily do the same.

Please let me know in case any changes are required.

react-native-iconic

Thanks Pranav

GitHub changed the way Markdown headings are parsed, so this change fixes it.

See bryant1410/readmesfix for more information.

Hey there, thanks for sharing this awesome component Victor.

I'd like to make a suggestion or maybe it's me not using the button as I should and you can give me a hand. I'm trying to create a small button but increase it's touchable area so as it's not difficult for the user to touch it, know what I mean? I usually do this with vanilla UIButtons by adding a contentEdgeInsets, but that's not working for me with the VBFPopFlatButton. I end up having to increase the frame size which in fact it ends increasing the "icon drawing" size.

Let me know if that makes sense. Thanks!

Agus Guerra.

... so that "+" button can be green and "X" button can be red... ;-)

• Add "setCircleColor:forButtonType:" method
• Add "setLineColor:forButtonType:" method

I have noticed a rendering Bug in my project and I could verify it in your example project using the following setup :

-(void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

[...]
    self.flatPlainButton = [[VBFPopFlatButton alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(200, 100, 22, 22)
                                                       buttonType:buttonMenuType
                                                      buttonStyle:buttonPlainStyle
                                            animateToInitialState:NO];
    self.flatPlainButton.lineThickness = 2.0;
    self.flatPlainButton.tintColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
    [self.flatPlainButton addTarget:self
                             action:@selector(flatPlainButtonPressed)
                   forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [self.view addSubview:self.flatPlainButton];
}
