BouncyPageViewController: Adding a Spring to Your Page Transitions in iOS

In the digital world, the journey is as important as the destination. This holds especially true for mobile applications where the transition between pages can be a bland swipe or a journey in itself. The GitHub open-source project BouncyPageViewController injects a dose of liveliness into this journey, by introducing a bouncy page transition effect for iOS applications.

One of the noteworthy features of BouncyPageViewController is the elastic page flip animation it brings to the table. This isn't just a rigid animation; it’s a customizable experience. Developers have the liberty to adjust the speed and magnitude of the bounce effect, ensuring the animation aligns well with the overall aesthetic of the application. Additionally, the direction of the page flip animation is also at the developer's discretion, providing a further layer of customization.

Here’s a snippet of how simple it is to implement BouncyPageViewController in your project:

import UIKit
import BouncyPageViewController

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var pageViewController: BouncyPageViewController!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        pageViewController.bounceSpeed = 0.5
        pageViewController.bounceRange = 10
        pageViewController.bounceDirection = .up
        pageViewController.viewControllers = [
            UIViewController(),
            UIViewController(),
            UIViewController()
        ]
    }
}

Incorporating BouncyPageViewController into your Xcode project is a breeze. You begin by adding BouncyPageViewController.swift to your project, importing the BouncyPageViewController framework in your ViewController, and then creating an instance of BouncyPageViewController in the viewDidLoad() method. Set the properties to your liking, add child view controllers, and voila, your app now has an engaging bouncy page transition effect.

Additional Information:

  • BouncyPageViewController is compatible with iOS 13.0 and later versions.
