SwiftRichString

Create and manipulate attributed, HTML and markdown-like strings on all Apple platforms.

Community maintained·Swift·since 2016

In one look

let title = Style {
    $0.font = SystemFonts.Helvetica_Bold.font(size: 20)
    $0.color = "#C89A5B"
}

let text = "Hello World!".set(style: title)

Attributed strings are a dictionary API pretending to be typography. As soon as a screen needs two styles in one paragraph, the code turns into range arithmetic that breaks the moment the copy changes or gets localised.

What it does

  • Styles as named values

    Define a style once, then apply and compose it instead of copying font and colour around.

  • HTML and markdown-like input

    Render tagged text into styled attributed strings, ready for localised copy.

  • UIKit and AppKit alike

    The same styles behave the same way on both platforms.
