Display Switcher

This component implements custom transition between two collection view layouts.

Check this project on dribbble.

Also, read how it was done in our blog

Requirements

iOS 9.0+
Xcode 7
Swift 2

Installing with CocoaPods

use_frameworks!
pod ‘DisplaySwitcher’, '~> 0.1.0'

Usage

At first, import DisplaySwitcher:

import DisplaySwitcher

Then create two layouts (layout for list mode and grid mode):

private lazy var listLayout = BaseLayout(staticCellHeight: listLayoutStaticCellHeight, nextLayoutStaticCellHeight: gridLayoutStaticCellHeight, layoutState: .ListLayoutState)

private lazy var gridLayout = BaseLayout(staticCellHeight: gridLayoutStaticCellHeight, nextLayoutStaticCellHeight: listLayoutStaticCellHeight, layoutState: .GridLayoutState)

Set current layout:

private var layoutState: CollectionViewLayoutState = .ListLayoutState
collectionView.collectionViewLayout = listLayout

Then override two UICollectionViewDataSource methods:

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    // count of items
}

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
    // configure your custom cell
}

Also override one UICollectionViewDelegate method (for custom layout transition):

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, transitionLayoutForOldLayout fromLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, newLayout toLayout: UICollectionViewLayout) -> UICollectionViewTransitionLayout {
    let customTransitionLayout = TransitionLayout(currentLayout: fromLayout, nextLayout: toLayout)
    return customTransitionLayout
}

And in the end necessary create transition and start it:

let transitionManager: TransitionManager
if layoutState == .ListLayoutState {
    layoutState = .GridLayoutState
    transitionManager = TransitionManager(duration: animationDuration, collectionView: collectionView!, destinationLayout: gridLayout, layoutState: layoutState)
} else {
    layoutState = .ListLayoutState
    transitionManager = TransitionManager(duration: animationDuration, collectionView: collectionView!, destinationLayout: listLayout, layoutState: layoutState)
}
transitionManager.startInteractiveTransition()

Have fun! :)

Let us know!

We’d be really happy if you sent us links to your projects where you use our component. Just send an email to github@yalantis.com And do let us know if you have any questions or suggestion regarding the animation.

P.S. We’re going to publish more awesomeness wrapped in code and a tutorial on how to make UI for iOS (Android) better than better. Stay tuned!
