Direct Manipulation for Material Motion (Swift)

Supported languages

• Swift 3
• Objective-C

Features

This library consists of the following plans:

• Draggable, Pinchable, and Rotatable
• DirectlyManipulable
• ChangeAnchorPoint

The Draggable, Pinchable, and Rotatable plans allow a user to move, scale, and rotate a view. They each listen for deltas emitted by a gesture recognizer and add them to the target.

If a view can be dragged then it can sometimes be pinched and rotated too. To make this easy, we provide a DirectlyManipulable plan. It’s equivalent to individually adding Draggable, Pinchable, and Rotatable to the same target.

The collection of Draggable, Pinchable, Rotatable, and DirectlyManipulable represent traits that can describe behavior of a target view. When any of these traits are added to a view the view’s isUserInteractionEnabled is enabled. If the plan’s associated gesture recognizer is not yet associated with a view then the gesture recognizer will be added to the target view.

ChangeAnchorPoint adjusts view.layer.anchorPoint while maintaining the same view.frame. This plan is emitted by DirectlyManipulable when a gesture recognizer begins.

Installation

Usage

Import the framework:

@import MaterialMotionDirectManipulation;

You will now have access to all of the APIs.

Example apps/unit tests

Check out a local copy of the repo to access the Catalog application by running the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/material-motion/direct-manipulation-swift.git
cd direct-manipulation-swift
pod install
open MaterialMotionDirectManipulation.xcworkspace

How to make a view directly manipulable

Code snippets:

In Objective-C:

[runtime addPlan:[MDMDirectlyManipulable new] to:<#Object#>];

In Swift:

runtime.addPlan(DirectlyManipulable(), to: <#Object#>)

How to make a view draggable

Code snippets:

In Objective-C:

[runtime addPlan:[MDMDraggable new] to:<#Object#>];

In Swift:

runtime.addPlan(Draggable(), to: <#Object#>)

How to use an existing gesture recognizer to make a view draggable

Code snippets:

In Objective-C:

MDMDraggable *draggable = [[MDMDraggable alloc] initWithGestureRecognizer:panGestureRecognizer];
[runtime addPlan:draggable to:<#Object#>];

In Swift:

runtime.addPlan(Draggable(withGestureRecognizer: panGestureRecognizer), to: <#Object#>)
