Font management (System & Custom) for iOS and tvOS
No more wasted time searching for names of UIFont
fonts and no more surprises at runtime if a font name was mistyped.
This library is simply one extension to UIFont
and one Font
enum
with a case for each system font on iOS and tvOS.
Custom font support is also available, please keep reading for details!
Instead of using the String
based constructor native to UIFont
:
let font = UIFont(name: "Arial-BoldItalicMT", size: 12.0)
You can now simply start typing the name of the font enum and let code completion help you:
This library currently provides two different options for creating UIFont
objects.
The first is calling the font name off of the provided BuiltInFont
enumeration and then calling of(size:)
to provide the desired size.
let myFont: UIFont? = BuiltInFont.helvetica.of(size: 12.0)
The other UIFont
creation method offered by this library is similar to the normal UIFont
constructor except that instead of providing a String
of the desired font, a case of the Font
enum is provided instead.
let font = UIFont(font: .arialBoldItalicMT, size: 12.0)
Custom Fonts can be added with the help of the FontRepresentable
protocol.
Simply create your own CustomFont
String
based enumeration that adapts the
FontRepresentable
and add a case per font that you want to add like so:
// In your project using custom fonts
enum CustomFont: String, FontRepresentable {
case alexBrushRegular = "AlexBrush-Regular"
}
CustomFont.alexBrushRegular.of(size: 12.0) // => UIFont
SwiftUI Font is handled in a same way as UIKit UIFont.
You can do both:
let myFont: Font = BuiltInFont.helvetica.of(size: 12.0)
let font = Font(font: .arialBoldItalicMT, size: 12.0)
