Alison

Get Started

Alison is a cool and easy to use animation for your bot. You can use an ALView to create an animation in your app :

let animationView = ALView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))

Alison have two animation states. The normal state is by default slow and green. The thinking state represent a bot activity to show to your users that something is happening. The normal state is the state by default when loading the view.

To change states, you can use :

animationView.setNormalState()
animationView.setThinkingState()

Alison is fully customizable. You can change various parameters to adapt it to your app. Here is an example of full customization :

animationView.rayCount = 5
animationView.rayLength = 6
animationView.rayRadius = 5
