The sliding effect used by folders on the iOS springboard, and other Apple  apps such as the Newsstand is a great way to display information.  Sliding effects are becoming an increasingly common way to display information in iOS apps.

This control is a little bit different allowing you to create a doorway effect rather than just sliding the viewcontroller in a specific direction.

Here’s a quick video demonstrating the control in action:

This control is from Jonathan Willing and you can find the Github repository with the library and a demo project here.

Another great sliding control.

Great component from our reader Mike Enriquez

The code provides panning and adjusting the anchor positions. Size and layout for under views and shadowing is up to the implementor. The example app shows how to do it.

You can find ECSlidingViewController and the example at the Github repo here.

This component allows you to create sliding views in a manner similar to the Path 2 and Facebook apps.

While there are several open source components that provide for sliding views I really like this control.

The reason this component stands out for is that the developer has gone through the trouble of adding shadowing and bouncing animations and view close, supports rotation and allows tweaking of the panning  behavior.

Here’s a video demonstrating this component in action:

The component is VideDeck from Tom Tom Adriaenssen and you can find the Github repository here.

Complete instructions along with an example project are provided.

To really see the beauty of this control you’re going to want to play with the example yourself.
