MotionSupport

public struct MotionSupport

This struct provides utility methods for Motion classes.

Additive utility methods

  • Registers an Additive motion. Any custom classes that conform to the Additive protocol should register their motion object.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static func register(additiveMotion motion: Additive) -> UInt

    Parameters

    additiveMotion

    The Additive object to register.

    Return Value

    An operation ID that should be assigned to the Additive object’s operationID property.

  • Removes an Additive motion from the registered list. Any custom classes that conform to the Additive protocol should call this method when it has completed its motion.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static func unregister(additiveMotion motion: Additive)

    Parameters

    additiveMotion

    The Additive object to remove.

  • Returns the ending value of the most recently started Additive motion operation for the specified object and keyPath. In order to participate in additive motion with other Additive objects, custom objects should use this method to set a starting value.

    Example Usage

    if let last_target_value = MotionSupport.targetValue(forObject: unwrapped_object, keyPath: property.path) { properties[index].start = last_target_value }

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static func targetValue(forObject object: AnyObject, keyPath path: String) -> Double?

    Parameters

    forObject

    The object whose property value should be queried.
    keyPath

    The keypath of the target property, relative to the object.

    Return Value

    The ending value. Returns nil if no Additive object is targeting this property.

Utility methods

  • Declaration

    Swift

    public static func cast(_ number: AnyObject) -> Double?

  • Utility method which determines whether the value is of the specified type.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static func matchesType(forValue value: Any, typeToMatch matchType: Any.Type) -> Bool

  • Utility method which determines whether the value is of the specified Objective-C type.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static func matchesObjCType(forValue value: NSValue, typeToMatch matchType: UnsafePointer<Int8>) -> Bool

  • Builds and returns a PropertyData object if the values you supply pass one of the following tests: 1) there’s a specified start value and that value is different than either the original value or the ending value, or 2) there’s just an original value and that value is different than the ending value, or 3) there’s no start value passed in, which will return a PropertyData object with only an end value. In cases 1 and 2, a PropertyData object with both start and end values will be returned. In the third case, a PropertyData object that only has an ending value will be returned. If all those tests fail, no object will be returned.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static func buildPropertyData(path: String, originalValue: Double?=nil, startValue: Double?, endValue: Double) -> PropertyData?

    Parameters

    path

    A base path to be used for the PropertyData‘s path property.
    originalValue

    An optional value representing the current value of the target object property.
    startValue

    An optional value to be supplied to the PropertyData‘s start property.
    endValue

    A value to be supplied to the PropertyData‘s end property.

    Return Value

    An optional PropertyData object using the supplied values.
