An easy Swift library for accessing and using GIFs from the web and the user's library
To access the Giphy API, you'll need to get a key from Giphy
Once you've gotten your key:
GifManager.shared.APIKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"
To get Trending Giphy GIFS:
GifManager.shared.fetchTrendingGifs { (gifs) in
//Returns trending Gifs
//Can also be accessed via GifManager.shared.trendingGifs
}
To perform a search for GIFS:
GifManager.shared.searchGifs(search: "yourSearchHere") { (gifs) in
//Returns GIFs that match the search query from Giphy
//Results also be accessed via GifManager.shared.searchGifs
}
Each search is limited to 50 results.
To get the next page of search results:
GifManager.shared.searchNextPage { (gifs, exhuasted) in
//gifs = the next 50 gifs, appended to GifManager.shared.searchGifs
//exhausted is a Bool that returns true if there's no more GIFs to fetch for the searchQuery
}
A individual Gif is returned as a GifAsset
which returns a URL for the original GIF using URL
, and one to display as a thumbnail under thumbURL
. Download the contents into a Data object then display them in a UIImage.
- More flexibility in editing Search options
- A better way to download the actual GIFs from GifAssets
- Easy access to GIFs in the Users Camera Roll
- A GifPickerViewController that quickly and simply interfaces the entire model
