joogps/Glur

Glur is a Swift Package Manager library that provides customizable blur and noise effects for SwiftUI applications. It offers a core modifier for applying gradient-based blurs with optional grain, alongside an opt-in backdrop module that uses private APIs to blur content behind views. The system supports multiple Apple platforms with platform-specific rendering optimizations and includes a demo app to showcase its capabilities.

The GlurDemo Xcode project has been added, introducing a demo application that links against the Glur framework and the new GlurBackdrop component. This allows users to test and utilize the opt-in backdrop blur capability provided by GlurBackdrop within the demo environment.

A new GlurView component is available in the GlurBackdrop module that applies a gradient blur to the content behind a view, enabling effects over platform-backed views like ScrollViews that the standard glur modifier cannot reach. This feature is opt-in and requires importing the separate GlurBackdrop module; it relies on private APIs to achieve the varying blur radius and is not available on watchOS.

New Metal shader resources (blur.metal and noise.metal) have been added to the Glur library. The blur effect now uses a mask texture to drive the blur radius per-pixel, allowing for variable blur intensity across the view. Additionally, a new noise effect has been introduced that applies a grain overlay, also driven by the same mask texture to control the strength of the noise.

The GlurDemo application has been introduced to demonstrate the Glur library's blur effects. It features a tabbed interface with three distinct examples: an icon with a radial blur, an album cover with a directional gradient overlay and blur, and a scrollable list where a GlurView sits on top to blur the content scrolling underneath. The app also includes necessary entitlements for sandboxing and file access.

A new Xcode workspace file (contents.xcworkspacedata) has been added to the .swiftpm directory, establishing a basic workspace structure that references the package itself. This change supports the newly introduced compatibility mode, allowing the package to be opened and built within Xcode environments that require a standard workspace configuration rather than relying solely on Swift Package Manager's default behavior.

The \glur\ modifier now supports shaping the blur effect using \GlurMask\, allowing users to apply linear, radial, or custom view-based gradients to control where the blur is applied. A new \noise\ parameter adds grain to the effect, and the blur direction now respects layout direction (leading/trailing). On iOS 17+ and macOS 14+, the effect uses a custom shader-based \GlurModifier\ for better performance and features, while older platforms fall back to a \CompatibilityModifier\ using standard SwiftUI blur.

The Glur package is now available via Swift Package Manager, supporting iOS 15, macOS 12, watchOS 8, tvOS 15, and visionOS 1. It provides two libraries: the core 'Glur' library and an opt-in 'GlurBackdrop' library that utilizes private APIs to blur content behind a view.

The GlurDemo project now includes the necessary Xcode workspace and scheme management files. This adds the workspace definition file and the IDE workspace checks plist, which suppresses the 32-bit warning, and creates a user-specific scheme management plist that registers the GlurDemo scheme with an order hint of 0, ensuring the project opens and builds correctly in the Xcode IDE.

• Ambiguous method name 'linear' with distinct semantic meanings. One overload creates a mask based on a directional blur vector (offset/interpolation), while the other creates a mask based on a gradient defined by stops and endpoints. The name 'linear' does not clearly distinguish between 'linear gradient' and 'linear blur direction'.
• Ambiguous method name 'radial' with distinct semantic meanings. One overload creates a mask based on a radial blur effect (offset/interpolation/spread), while the other creates a mask based on a radial gradient defined by stops and radii. The name 'radial' does not clearly distinguish between 'radial blur' and 'radial gradient'.
