<p>Gifu adds protocol-based, performance-aware animated GIF support to UIKit. (It&rsquo;s also a <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/CCeAc">prefecture in Japan</a>).</p>
<p>⚠ <strong>Swift 2.3</strong> support is on the <a href="https://github.com/kaishin/Gifu/tree/swift2.3">swift2.3</a> branch. <strong>This branch will not be getting any future updates</strong>.</p>
<p>⚠ What follows applies to the yet unreleased <code>2.0</code> on <code>master</code>.</p>

<a href='#how-it-works' class='anchor' aria-hidden=true><span class="header-anchor"></span></a><h2 id='how-it-works'>How It Works</h2>
<p><code>Gifu</code> does not force you to use the built-in <code>GIFImageView</code> subclass. The <code>Animator</code> does the heavy-lifting, while the <code>GIFAnimatable</code> protocol exposes the functionality to the view classes that conform to it, using protocol extensions.</p>
<p>The <code>Animator</code> has a <code>FrameStore</code> that only keeps a limited number of frames in-memory, effectively creating a buffer for the animation without consuming all the available memory. This approach makes loading large GIFs a lot more resource-friendly.</p>
<p>The figure below summarizes how this works in practice. Given an image
containing 10 frames, Gifu will load the current frame (red), buffer the next two frames in this example (orange), and empty up all the other frames to free up memory (gray):</p>

<a href='#usage' class='anchor' aria-hidden=true><span class="header-anchor"></span></a><h2 id='usage'>Usage</h2>
<p>There are two options that should cover any situation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use the built-in <code>GIFImageView</code> subclass if you don&rsquo;t need to combine GIF support with another image library.</li>
<li>If you need more flexibility and composability, make your class conform to <code>GIFAnimatable</code>. In practice, any <code>UIView</code> subclass would do, since you get most of the required properties for free. For best results, make your <code>UIImageView</code> subclass conform to <code>GIFAnimatable</code> to get other niceties such as intrinsic content size.</li>
</ul>
<a href='#gifanimatable' class='anchor' aria-hidden=true><span class="header-anchor"></span></a><h3 id='gifanimatable'>GIFAnimatable</h3>
<p>The bread and butter of Gifu. Through protocol extensions, <code>GIFAnimatable</code> exposes all the APIs of the library, and with very little boilerplate, any class can conform to it.</p>
<pre class="highlight swift"><code><span class="kd">class</span> <span class="kt">MyImageView</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="kt">UIImageView</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="kt">GIFAnimatable</span> <span class="p">{</span>

<span class="k">return</span> <span class="kt">Animator</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">withDelegate</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="k">self</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">}()</span>
<span class="k">override</span> <span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kd">func</span> <span class="nf">display</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">_</span> <span class="nv">layer</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="kt">CALayer</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="nf">updateImageIfNeeded</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</code></pre>
<p>That&rsquo;s it. Now <code>MyImageView</code> has access to all these methods and properties:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>prepareForAnimation(withGIFNamed:)</code> and <code>prepareForAnimation(withGIFData:)</code> to prepare the animator property for animation.</li>
<li><code>startAnimatingGIF()</code> and <code>stopAnimatingGIF()</code> to control the animation.</li>
<li><code>animate(withGIFNamed:)</code> and <code>animate(withGIFData:)</code> to prepare for animation and start animating immediately.</li>
<li><code>frameCount</code>, <code>isAnimatingGIF</code>, and <code>activeFrame</code> to inspect the GIF view.</li>
<li><code>prepareForReuse()</code> to free up resources.</li>
<li><code>updateImageIfNeeded()</code> to update the image property if necessary.</li>
</ul>
<p>Furthermore, you can make any class GIF-animatable, starting with <code>UIView</code> subclasses:</p>
<pre class="highlight swift"><code><span class="kd">class</span> <span class="kt">CustomAnimatedView</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="kt">UIView</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="kt">GIFAnimatable</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kd">lazy</span> <span class="k">var</span> <span class="nv">animator</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="kt">Animator</span><span class="p">?</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="kt">Animator</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">withDelegate</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="k">self</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">}()</span>
<span class="k">override</span> <span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kd">func</span> <span class="nf">display</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">_</span> <span class="nv">layer</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="kt">CALayer</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="nf">updateImageIfNeeded</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</code></pre>
<p>Keep in mind that you need to have control over the class implementing <code>GIFAnimatable</code> since you cannot add the stored <code>Animator</code> property in an extension.</p>
<a href='#examples' class='anchor' aria-hidden=true><span class="header-anchor"></span></a><h3 id='examples'>Examples</h3>
<p>The simplest way to get started is initializing a <code>GIFAnimatable</code> class in code or in a storyboard, then calling <code>animate(:)</code> on it.</p>
<pre class="highlight swift"><code><span class="k">let</span> <span class="nv">imageView</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="kt">GIFImageView</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">frame</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="kt">CGRect</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">x</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">y</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">width</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="mi">200</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">height</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="mi">100</span><span class="p">))</span>
<span class="n">imageView</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nf">animate</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">withGIFNamed</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s">"mugen"</span><span class="p">)</span>
</code></pre>
<p>You can also prepare for the animation when the view loads and only start animating after a user interaction.</p>
<pre class="highlight swift"><code><span class="c1">// In your view controller..</span>
<span class="k">override</span> <span class="kd">func</span> <span class="nf">viewDidLoad</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">super</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nf">viewDidLoad</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="n">imageView</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nf">prepareForAnimation</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">withGIFNamed</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s">"mugen"</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="kd">@IBAction</span> <span class="kd">func</span> <span class="nf">toggleAnimation</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">_</span> <span class="nv">sender</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="kt">AnyObject</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">if</span> <span class="n">imageView</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">isAnimatingGIF</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="n">imageView</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nf">stopAnimatingGIF</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="p">}</span> <span class="k">else</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="n">imageView</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nf">startAnimatingGIF</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</code></pre>
<p>If you are using a <code>GIFAnimatable</code> class in a table or collection view, you can call the <code>prepareForReuse()</code> method in your cell subclass:</p>
<pre class="highlight swift"><code><span class="k">override</span> <span class="kd">func</span> <span class="nf">prepareForReuse</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">super</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nf">prepareForReuse</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="n">imageView</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nf">prepareForReuse</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
