- Nice Job the best shadow library is now installed! 🎉 🎊 🎈
Import
To get the full benefits import ShadowView
wherever you import UIKit
import UIKit
import ShadowView
How it works
Normal Shadows
This shadow framework uses default CoreGraphics shadows by adding it the the layer of the view.
layer.shadowColor : CGColor
layer.shadowRadius : CGFloat
layer.shadowOffset : CGSize
layer.shadowOpacity : Float
layer.shadowPath : CGPath?
Projected Gaussian Shadows
Here the implemation is different. A shadow container need to be added and all views that needs a blurred shadow need to be subviews of this container.
The container takes a screen of all it's subviews and then apply blur on it.
Usage example
With Storyboard
Normal Shadows
Any view has new paramerters in the storyboar that you can change in order to add a customize shadow to your view.
Projected Gaussian Shadows
Add an UIView to you ViewController, change it class to ShadowView and insert in it all view that needs a blurred shadow.
Programmatically
Normal Shadows
Set the shadows parameters to your view and it the shadow will appear! 🌟
view.shadowRadius = 5
view.shadowOffset = CGSize.zero
view.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
view.shadowOpacity = 0.3
Projected Gaussian Shadows
Create you container ShadowView and then add views that need Shadows inside of it.
let exampleShadowContainerView = ShadowView()
let imageView = UIImageView(image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "sample.jpg"))
override func loadView() {
super.loadView()
exampleShadowContainerView.frame = self.view.bounds
exampleShadowContainerView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth,.flexibleHeight]
exampleShadowContainerView.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 10)
exampleShadowContainerView.shadowRadius = 20
self.view.addSubview(exampleShadowContainerView)
self.exampleShadowContainerView.addSubview(imageView)
imageView.center = exampleShadowContainerView.center
}
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
imageView.frame.size = CGSize(width: 200, height: 200)
imageView.center = exampleShadowContainerView.center
self.exampleShadowContainerView.updateShadow()
}
Please see the example for more prescisions.
Parameters
//Shared Paramerters
@IBInspectable public var shadowRadius : CGFloat
@IBInspectable public var shadowOffset : CGSize
@IBInspectable public var shadowColor : UIColor?
@IBInspectable public var shadowOpacity : Float
//Normal Shadow
@IBInspectable var shadowPath : CGPath?
//ShadowView only
///It changes the size of the projected shadow view.
@IBInspectable var shadowScale : CGFloat
///Changes the tint color of the blurred image
@IBInspectable var shadowTintColor : UIColor
///Changes the saturation of the blurred image (default:1)
@IBInspectable var shadowSaturation : CGFloat
Notes
Don't use Views like Sliders or ActivityIndicators, the shadow don't update un real-time. It's preferable to use statics Views like Labels, images...
