UIImageView + Letters

Inspired by https://github.com/bachonk/UIImageView-Letters

An easy, helpful UIImageView extension that generates letter initials as a placeholder for user profile images, with a randomized background color if needed

Installation

Manual

Drag the UIImageView + Letters.swift files into your project
Enjoy!

Usage

Methods

Call the following methods on any UIImageView instance to set the image:

func setImage(string: String?)
func setImage(string: String?, color: UIColor?)
func setImage(string: String?, color: UIColor?, circular: Bool)
func setImage(string: String?, color: UIColor?, circular: Bool, textAttributes: [String : Any]?)

string is the string used to generate the initials. This should be a user's full name if available.

color is an optional parameter that sets the background color of the image. Pass in nil to have a color automatically generated for you.

isCircular is a boolean parameter that will automatically clip the image to a circle if enabled.

textAttributes is an NSDictionary that allows you to specify font, text color, shadow properties, etc., for the letters text, using the keys found in NSAttributedString.

If you want to keep the same color for a given name, you can use

class func colorForName(name: String?) -> UIColor

Example

userImageView?.setImage(string: "John DOE", color: nil, circular: true)
