Animations are cool. UITableView isn't. So why not make animating UITableView cool? #

---

The entire API for TableFlip consists of an animation, and a call to animate. It's as simple as that. #

TableFlip takes the annoying nature of reloading UITableViews, maintaining state, and anminating, and minimizes it to two lines of code. #

If you want to animate every cell consecutively, the code will look like this. #

self.tableView.reloadData()
self.tableView.animate(animation: myCoolCellAnimation)

And if you want to animate the entire table view at once, the code will look like this: #

self.tableView.reloadData()
self.tableView.animate(animation: myCoolTableAnimation)

Animations are completely customizable and configurable. TableFlip provides a few built-in defaults that work nicely out the box, if you don't want to make your own.

Let's look at some examples #

Animating from the left with a nice staggered effect: #

TableViewAnimation.Cell.left(duration: 0.5)

Pushing from the top can make a nice initial loading effect: #

TableViewAnimation.Table.top(duration: 0.8)

A simple fade is always elegant: #

TableViewAnimation.Cell.fade(duration: 1.0)

And you can make your own transform, as fun or weird as you want by using CGAffineTransform: #

let degrees = sin(90.0 * CGFloat.pi/180.0)
let rotationTransform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: degrees)
let flipTransform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1, y: -1)
let customTransform = rotationTransform.concatenating(flipTransform)

let customAnimation = TableViewAnimation.Cell.custom(duration: 0.6, transform: customTransform, options: .curveEaseInOut)
                
self.tableView.animate(animation: customAnimation, completion: nil)
