JWWaveView

JWWaveView provides a convenient way to add water-waving effect to any of your UIView instance.

JWWaveView is made possible by using CAReplicatorLayer as its core. Comparing to using timer to update the wave path continuously to get the water-waving effect, it's more efficient.

Some comparisons and measurements carried out between timer-driven waving animation and CAReplicatorLayer-based animation are laid out in this blog post.

Requirements

• iOS 8.0+
• ARC

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Pause and unpause wave view:

Adding wave view to table view cells:

Features

• start with user-specified wave phase shift

To do

• two waves overlapping to provide depth
• convenient category should be added
