Usage

Using BPBlockActivityIndicator isn’t difficult at all. There are two actual ways of implementing it in your project:

Storyboard setup
Manual setup

Storyboard Setup

First, add a UIView to your Storyboard and set the custom class (You can set custom classes in Identity Inspector) as it shown in the picture below:

Then, add the corresponding Outlet in to your code:


                                              
                                                @IBOutlet weak var blockIndicator: BPBlockActivityIndicator!

Manual setup

If you would like to setup BPBlockActivityIndicator manually, you have to do the following:


                                              
                                                var blockIndicatorindicator: BPBlockActivityIndicator!
override func viewDidLoad() {

super.viewDidLoad()
// initialize BPBlockActivityIndicator programmatically

blockIndicatorindicator = BPBlockActivityIndicator(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 40, height: 40))

view.addSubview(blockIndicatorindicator)

}

Animate & Stop

You can easily animate and stop animations like so:


                                              
                                                @IBAction func startAnimate(_ sender: Any) {

blockIndicator.animate()

}
@IBAction func stopAnimate(_ sender: Any) {

blockIndicator.stop()

}

Customize

If you want to setup animation speed or the color of blocks (if using a storyboard) you can set the properties in the Identity Inspector as it shown in the picture below:

Or (if using code), you can call methods as shown in the code below:


                                              
                                                blockIndicatorindicator = BPBlockActivityIndicator(frame: CGRect(x: 30, y: 30, width: 40, height: 40))

.movementSpeed(0.2)

.blockColor(.cyan)

view.addSubview(blockIndicatorindicator)

Default settings are shown below:

Animation Speed : 0.6
Color of blocks : Blue
