Overview

When working with animatable layers, it is sometimes very useful to suppress the implicit 0.25s animation behaviour that comes default in Core Animation.

suppressAnimations()

static func suppressAnimations(actions: () -> Void) {
    begin()
    setAnimationDuration(0)
    actions()
    commit()
}

To use this, simply do the following:

CATransaction.suppressAnimations {
  //... all the stuff you want to not animate.
}
