Change Effects

Change Effects are effects that will trigger a visual or haptic every time a value changes.

Use the changeEffect modifier and pass in an AnyChangeEffect as well as a value to watch for changes.

Button {
    post.toggleLike()
} label: {
    Label(post.likes.formatted(), systemName: "heart.fill")
}
.changeEffect(.spray { heart }, value: post.likes, isEnabled: post.isLiked)
.tint(post.isLiked ? .red : .gray)

You can choose from the following Change Effects: Spray, Haptic Feedback, Jump, Ping, Rise, Shake, Shine, and Spin.

Spray

• rate: The rate of the shake.

static func shake(rate: ShakeRate) -> AnyChangeEffect

Shine

Preview

Highlights the view with a shine moving over the view.

The shine moves from the top leading edge to bottom trailing edge.

static var shine: AnyChangeEffect

Highlights the view with a shine moving over the view.

The shine moves from the top leading edge to bottom trailing edge.

static func shine(duration: Double) -> AnyChangeEffect

Highlights the view with a shine moving over the view.

The angle is relative to the current layoutDirection, such that 0° represents sweeping towards the trailing edge and 90° represents sweeping towards the bottom edge.

• Parameters:
  • angle: The angle of the animation.
  • duration: The duration of the animation.

static func shine(angle: Angle, duration: Double = 1.0) -> AnyChangeEffect

Sound Effect Feedback

Triggers a sound effect as feedback whenever a value changes.

This effect will not interrupt or duck any other audio that may currently playing. It may also not triggered based on the setting of the user's silent switch or playback device.

To relay important information to the user, you should always accompany audio effects with visual cues.

• soundEffect: The sound effect to trigger.

static func feedback(_ soundEffect: SoundEffect) -> AnyChangeEffect

Spin

Preview

Spins the view around the given axis when a change happens.

static var spin: AnyChangeEffect

Spins the view around the given axis when a change happens.

• Parameters:
  • axis: The x, y and z elements that specify the axis of rotation.
  • anchor: The location with a default of center that defines a point in 3D space about which the rotation is anchored.
  • anchorZ: The location with a default of 0 that defines a point in 3D space about which the rotation is anchored.
  • perspective: The relative vanishing point with a default of 1 / 6 for this rotation.

static func spin(axis: (x: CGFloat, y: CGFloat, z: CGFloat), anchor: UnitPoint = .center, anchorZ: CGFloat = 0, perspective: CGFloat = 1 / 6) -> AnyChangeEffect

Delay

Every change effect can be delayed to trigger the effect after some time.

Button("Submit") { 
    <#code#>
}
.buttonStyle(.borderedProminent)
.disabled(name.isEmpty)
.changeEffect(.shine.delay(1), value: name.isEmpty, isEnabled: !name.isEmpty)

• Parameters:
  • delay: The delay in seconds.

func delay(_ delay: Double) -> AnyChangeEffect

Particle Layer

A particle layer is a context in which particle effects draw their particles.

The particleLayer(name:) view modifier wraps the view in a particle layer with the given name.

Particle effects such as AnyChangeEffect.spray can render their particles on this position in the view tree to avoid being clipped by their immediate ancestor.

For example, certain List styles may clip their rows. Use particleLayer(_:) to render particles on top of the entire List or even its enclosing NavigationStack.

func particleLayer(name: AnyHashable) -> some View

Transitions

All transitions are namespaced under the movingParts static variable, e.g.

myView.transition(.movingParts.anvil)

Preview

A transitions that shows the view by combining a diagonal wipe with a white streak.

static var glare: AnyTransition

A transitions that shows the view by combining a wipe with a colored streak.

In this example, the removal of the view is using a glare with an exponential ease-in curve, combined with a anticipating scale animation, making for a more dramatic exit.

infoBox
  .transition(
    .asymmetric(
      insertion: .movingParts.glare(angle: .degrees(225)),
      removal: .movingParts.glare(angle: .degrees(45)
    )
    .animation(.movingParts.easeInExponential(duration: 0.9))
        .combined(with:
          .scale(scale: 1.4)
            .animation(.movingParts.anticipate(duration: 0.9).delay(0.1)

  .transition(
    .asymmetric(
      insertion: .movingParts.move(angle: .degrees(45)),
      removal:   .movingParts.move(angle: .degrees(90))

  if starred {
    Image(systemName: "star.fill")
      .foregroundStyle(.orange)

Rotate3D

A transition that inserts by rotating from the specified rotation, and removes by rotating to the specified rotation in three dimensions.

In this example, the view is rotated 90˚ about the y axis around its bottom edge as if it was rising from lying on its back face:

  .transition(.movingParts.rotate3D(
    .degrees(90),
      axis: (1, 0, 0),
      anchor: .bottom,
