A custom modal transition that presents and dismiss a controller inside an expanding and shrinking bubble.

Screenshot

Usage

Install through CocoaPods:

pod 'BubbleTransition', '~> 3.2.0'

use_frameworks!

Install through Carthage:

github "andreamazz/BubbleTransition"

Setup

Have your view controller conform to UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate. Set the transitionMode, the startingPoint, the bubbleColor and the duration.

let transition = BubbleTransition()

public override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
  let controller = segue.destination
  controller.transitioningDelegate = self
  controller.modalPresentationStyle = .custom
}

// MARK: UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate

public func animationController(forPresented presented: UIViewController, presenting: UIViewController, source: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
  transition.transitionMode = .present
  transition.startingPoint = someButton.center
  transition.bubbleColor = someButton.backgroundColor!
  return transition
}

public func animationController(forDismissed dismissed: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
  transition.transitionMode = .dismiss
  transition.startingPoint = someButton.center
  transition.bubbleColor = someButton.backgroundColor!
  return transition
}

You can find the Objective-C equivalent here.

Swipe to dismiss

You can use an interactive gesture to dismiss the presented controller. To enable this gesture, prepare the interactive transition:

let interactiveTransition = BubbleInteractiveTransition()

override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
  if let controller = segue.destination as? ModalViewController {
    controller.transitioningDelegate = self
    controller.modalPresentationStyle = .custom
    controller.interactiveTransition = interactiveTransition
    interactiveTransition.attach(to: controller)
  }
}

and implement interactionControllerForDismissal in your presenting controller:

func interactionControllerForDismissal(using animator: UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning) -> UIViewControllerInteractiveTransitioning? {
  return interactiveTransition
}

In the presented controller make sure to call finish() on the interactive gesture if you need to quickly dismiss from a button press instead. Check the sample code for more info.

You can decide the gesture threshold and the swipe direction:

interactiveTransition.interactionThreshold = 0.5
interactionThreshold.swipeDirection = .up

Properties

var startingPoint = CGPointZero

The point that originates the bubble.

var duration = 0.5

The transition duration.

var transitionMode: BubbleTranisionMode = .present

The transition direction. Either .present, .dismiss or .pop.

var bubbleColor: UIColor = .white

The color of the bubble. Make sure that it matches the destination controller's background color.
