**Shiny** is an iOS library that generates an iridescent effect view matched to the gyroscope, similar to the Apple Pay Cash card in the Wallet app.
```
$ pod try Shiny
```
## Requirements
- iOS 9.0+
- Swift 5 (Shiny 2.x), Swift 4 (Shiny 1.x)
## Usage
Adding `ShinyView` programmatically (supports storyboard/xib too):
```swift
import Shiny
let shinyView = ShinyView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 320, height: 200))
shinyView.colors = [.gray, .red, .green, .blue, .gray]
shinyView.startUpdates() // necessary
view.addSubview(shinyView)
```
You must call `startUpdates()` for the instance to observe motion changes. Calling `stopUpdates()` on the instance will stop motion updates.
```swift
func startUpdates() // Starts listening to motion updates.
func stopUpdates() // Stops listening to motion updates.
```
### Customization
The `ShinyView` exposes several properties to customize the radial gradient used to create the shiny effect:
```swift
var colors: [UIColor] // The color of each gradient stop.
var locations: [CGFloat]? // The location of each gradient stop. The default is `nil`.
var scale: CGFloat // The scale factor of the gradient. The default is `2.0`.
```
