Today we’re going to make a sliding UIView. Similar to the previous post, this tutorial is also very similar to my previous post about rotating UIViews, but this is how to do a sliding animation. You might need this type of animation for opening a menu or showing an alert. Tools: Step 1 to 4: Create…

This tutorial is very similar to my previous post about rotating UIViews, but this is how to do pulsating animations. You might need this type of animation for a loader, an onTap of a button, or whatever. Tools: Step 1 to 4: Create swift project, set up your storyboard, add constraints, and connect your outlets The steps…

In Swift, you can add items to your storyboard and refer to it in your code. For example, you can add a UIButton and then create an IBOutlet in your code to ‘connect’ to it. Another way to do this is by giving it a tag number. Although this way might not be the best…

This tutorial is about spinning UIViews. Why spinning things you might ask? Animations can be (for a lack of better terminology because I hate this word) delightful for users. Anywho, you might just need to animate a loading spinner thing or something for you app. In this case, I’ve just created a few UIViews and…

After one week of playing around with Swift I have some opinions on using the storyboard. It’s weird. But, it definitely makes creating an app real easy. For example, if I want to make an application that has multiple pages, I can do that all via the storyboard. Styling the pages on storyboard, is another…

In order for me to do that I nested <Navigator/> inside of <TabBarIOS/> such that every time I switch to a…

Whenever I start a project I always think to myself, “What the heck do I ignore?” Sometimes it’s easy to discern. However, sometimes it’s not. For example, the past week or so I’ve been dabbling with Swift. I had no prior knowledge of Ios development and had no idea what should be exposed or not.…

So a whiles back I was working on a project on my new laptop. However, I totally forgot to set the Github username and email. This meant that all the authors on my commits were not recognized as me. Luckily, Github always has a solution. First, clone your repository. Then, do the below. After you…

I recently had a project where I needed to convert my image to base64. With JavaScript it’s relatively easy and since I was new to Swift I had no idea how to do this. Below, I obtain my image as a UIImage, then convert it into NSData, and then into base64. You can use http://codebeautify.org/base64-to-image-converter to test the…

So the other day I needed to loop though some files that included a specific string. This is how I went through my files and rename it.

I don’t like to customize my Sublime (or anything else, really) very much but when I do I blog about it. Just in case I forget.
