ios/swift dev — dabbling with oss and making native wrapper components for react-native ✨(swiftui on the side, but i still love uikit tho)

[dominic go @GoDominic]

thought i'd be cool in california 🎶
#reactnative

[dominic go @GoDominic]

iOS 26 liquid glass is likely just all CAFilter and UIVisualEffect under the hood (the refraction effect likely just offsets the effect view, or a mesh distortion pass)

in this old demo, you can see me struggling making the custom effect look good 😔

[dominic go @GoDominic]

react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (v0.1.0-17)

still need to write the docs (making the CAFilters look good requires a lot of trial and error unfortunately)

the math for creating the CAColorMatrix transforms also doesn't seem right

[dominic go @GoDominic]

i miss doing oss work 😔

[dominic go @GoDominic]

@byteab @rauchg aww thank you sm 🥺😭

[dominic go @GoDominic]

i'm afraid of breaking things in: react-native-ios-context-menu (so this is just quick demo)

but i think interactive previews would be nice to have (i just wish that i had the resources to polish + test it)

[dominic go @GoDominic]

@and_sidorchuk thank you! (your work is really cool, and also thank you for helping me fix a crucial bug w/ fabric a while back 😊)

it just unfinished—i really wanted the effects to animate together with the modal haha (maybe someday)

[dominic go @GoDominic]

react-native-ios-modal
react-native-ios-visual-effect-view

i had so much planned, only for it to look like this 😔

[dominic go @GoDominic]

@and_sidorchuk so pretty! i wish UISlider looked this good

[dominic go @GoDominic]

i wanted to post a demo today, but i'm getting so many build errors suddenly 😔

(all i did was re-install node_modules)

codegen can't find the specs for react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (i triple checked that the codgenconfig is valid)

[dominic go @GoDominic]

@fernandorojo thank you for the kind words 💖

[dominic go @GoDominic]

react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (v0.1.0-17)

still need to write the docs (making the CAFilters look good requires a lot of trial and error unfortunately)

[dominic go @GoDominic]

@expo my first "real" PR 🙂‍↕️

[dominic go @GoDominic]

@lauridskern hello, i think so (it's just a regular UIVisualEffectView under the hood)

but i haven't really tested it recently (and it's still a wip)

it was originally used in the bg component for: react-native-ios-adaptive-modal

(so i think it should work if it's inside a modal?)

[dominic go @GoDominic]

react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (v0.1.0-15) ✨

added: blending modes, foreground filters 🙂‍↕️

(CAFilter animations have already been implemented, just haven't exposed the api yet to react native unfortunately)

#reactnative

[dominic go @GoDominic]

animated background/content CAFilter (the example is a bit messy tho)

it's kind of like the effect modifiers in swiftui, but for uiview

i'll add it to a future release of: react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (soon-ish)

#reactnative #swift

[dominic go @GoDominic]

here's a demo of react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (v0.1.0-11)

added support for custom filters 🙂‍↕️
todo: write docs, expose animatable filters 🙂‍↔️

#reactnative #swift

[dominic go @GoDominic]

coming soon-ish to: react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (animatable custom CAFilter)

back to doing oss on my free time again, so i'm not release sure when i'm able to release this 😔

#reactnative

[dominic go @GoDominic]

view w/ custom n-polygon masks (salvaged from the modal lib i was making a few months ago)

the custom coreanimation shape layers can be synced/driven by uikit animations

thank you to the 7 ppl sponsoring my work

#reactnative #uikit

[dominic go @GoDominic]

@theblondealex hello, its not really a comparison—i just split the video and turned it into a collage (because the video was too long)

sorry for the confusion

[dominic go @GoDominic]

react-native-ios-utilities might be stable enough across fabric + paper for me to start making components again

didn’t think it would take this long 😔 (thank you for the 3 people sponsoring my work)

#reactnative

[dominic go @GoDominic]

@gerzonzc hello, thank you for the kind words; someday i’ll get around to fixing the docs, english just makes my brain hurt 😔

[dominic go @GoDominic]

quick paper + fabric tests
#reactnative
