AnimatedBlurLabel

Subclass of UILabel for animating the blurring and unblurring of text. Take a look at the demo project to see how to use it.

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate the AnimatedBlurLabel into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'AnimatedBlurLabel'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Manually

Copy the AnimatedBlurLabel.swift file to your Swift project, add it to a target and you're good to go.

Usage

The easiest way to get started is to add the AnimatedBlurLabel as a custom label in your Storyboard. After that, you can set properties like animation duration or blur radius in code:

blurLabel.animationDuration = 1.0
blurLabel.blurRadius = 30.0

In order to blur and unblur the label's text, you simply call the following method:

func setBlurred(blurred: Bool, animated: Bool, completion: ((finished : Bool) -> Void)?)
