I’m working on creating a ripple effect in SwiftUI similar to the one here.

Here is what I have so far:

import SwiftUI

// MARK: - Ripple

struct Ripple: ViewModifier {
    // MARK: Lifecycle

    init(rippleColor: Color) {
        self.rippleColor = rippleColor
    }

    // MARK: Internal

    let rippleColor: Color

    func body(content: Content) -> some View {
        ZStack {
            content

            if let location = touchPoint {
                Circle()
                    .fill(rippleColor)
                    .frame(width: 16.0, height: 16.0)
                    .position(location)
                    .clipped()
                    .opacity(opacity)
            }
        }
        .fixedSize()
        .gesture(
            DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0.0)
                .onChanged { gesture in
                    guard touchPoint != gesture.startLocation else {
                        return
                    }

                    timer?.invalidate()

                    opacity = 1.0
                    touchPoint = gesture.startLocation
                }
                .onEnded { _ in
                    timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 2.0, repeats: false) { _ in
                        withAnimation {
                            opacity = 0.0
                        }
                    }
                }
        )
    }

    // MARK: Private

    @State private var opacity: CGFloat = 0.0
    @State private var touchPoint: CGPoint?
    @State private var timer: Timer?
}

extension View {
    func rippleEffect(rippleColor: Color = .accentColor.opacity(0.5)) -> some View {
        modifier(Ripple(rippleColor: rippleColor))
    }
}

The next step is to do the scaling animation, but I’m having trouble figuring out how. I’ve tried applying scale effects and transitions with the scale modifier, but nothing seems to work correctly.

Can someone assist me in achieving the ripple effect I’m looking for?

Additionally, if something like this already exists, I’d be happy to just use it, but I haven’t been able to find anything.

Thanks,

RPK

    Using Frederik's answer from above, I modified it slightly to achieve the desired result I was looking for.

    import SwiftUI
    
    // MARK: - ContentView
    
    struct ContentView: View {
        var body: some View {
            VStack {
                Image(systemName: "globe")
                    .imageScale(.large)
                    .foregroundColor(.accentColor)
                Text("Hello, world!")
            }
            .rippleEffect(rippleColor: .gray)
            .frame(width: 400, height: 200)
            .padding()
        }
    }
    
    // MARK: - Ripple
    
    struct Ripple: ViewModifier {
        // MARK: Lifecycle
    
        init(rippleColor: Color) {
            color = rippleColor
        }
    
        // MARK: Internal
    
        let color: Color
    
        let timeInterval: TimeInterval = 0.5
    
        func body(content: Content) -> some View {
            GeometryReader { geometry in
                ZStack {
                    Rectangle()
                        .foregroundColor(.gray.opacity(0.05))
                    Circle()
                        .foregroundColor(color)
                        .opacity(0.2 * opacityFraction)
                        .scaleEffect(scale)
                        .offset(x: x, y: y)
                    content
                }
                .gesture(
                    DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0.0)
                        .onChanged { gesture in
                            let location = gesture.startLocation
    
                            x = location.x - geometry.size.width / 2
                            y = location.y - geometry.size.height / 2
    
                            opacityFraction = 1.0
    
                            withAnimation(.linear(duration: timeInterval / 2.0)) {
                                scale = 3.0 *
                                    (
                                        max(geometry.size.height, geometry.size.width) /
                                            min(geometry.size.height, geometry.size.width)
                                    )
                            }
                        }
                        .onEnded { _ in
                            withAnimation(.linear(duration: timeInterval / 2.0)) {
                                opacityFraction = 0.0
                                scale = 1.0
                            }
                        }
                )
                .clipped()
            }
        }
    
        // MARK: Private

    }
    
    extension View {
        func rippleEffect(rippleColor: Color = .accentColor.opacity(0.5)) -> some View {
            modifier(Ripple(rippleColor: rippleColor))
        }
    }
    
    // MARK: - ContentView_Previews
    
    struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
        static var previews: some View {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
    

    Thanks Frederik, for the nudge in the right direction.


  2. You are probably looking for something like this…

    struct ContentView: View {
        var body: some View {
            VStack {
                Image(systemName: "globe")
                    .imageScale(.large)
                    .foregroundColor(.accentColor)
                Text("Hello, world!")
            }
            .rippleEffect(rippleColor: .gray)
            .frame(width: 400, height: 200)
            .padding()
        }
    }
    
    struct Ripple: ViewModifier {
        // MARK: Lifecycle
    
        init(rippleColor: Color) {
            self.color = rippleColor
        }
    
        // MARK: Internal
    
        let color: Color
    
        @State private var scale: CGFloat = 0.5
        
        @State private var animationPosition: CGFloat = 0.0
        @State private var x: CGFloat = 0.0
        @State private var y: CGFloat = 0.0

        let timeInterval: TimeInterval = 0.5
        
        func body(content: Content) -> some View {
            GeometryReader { geometry in
                ZStack {
                    Rectangle()
                        .foregroundColor(.gray.opacity(0.05))
                    Circle()
                        .foregroundColor(color)
                        .opacity(0.2*opacityFraction)
                        .scaleEffect(scale)
                        .offset(x: x, y: y)
                    content
                }
                .onTapGesture(perform: { location in
                    x = location.x-geometry.size.width/2
                    y = location.y-geometry.size.height/2
                    opacityFraction = 1.0
                    withAnimation(.linear(duration: timeInterval)) {
                        scale = 3.0*(max(geometry.size.height, geometry.size.width)/min(geometry.size.height, geometry.size.width))
                        opacityFraction = 0.0
                        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + timeInterval) {
                            scale = 1.0
                            opacityFraction = 0.0
                        }
                    }
                })
                .clipped()
            }
        }
    }
    
    extension View {
        func rippleEffect(rippleColor: Color = .accentColor.opacity(0.5)) -> some View {
            modifier(Ripple(rippleColor: rippleColor))
        }
    }
