PimpMyString

PimpMyString is an iOS/OSX wrapper around NSAttributedStrong. It has the advantage of being strongly typed while NSStringAdditions are not.

Requirements

• iOS 8.0+
• OSX 10.9

Installation

Manual

• Simply add the PimpMyString.xcodeproj to your workspace and add the appropriate framework (iOS/OSX) as a dependency of your project.
• You can also build the framework and directly link it to your target.

Usage

Just import PMS in your source file, and call the StringTuner(s) you need. A sample code worth a thousand words (taken from the example playgrounds) :

import PMS

let string = "Hello PMS !"

let stringTuner = pms_underline(UIColor.redColor(), .StyleDouble)
    >>> pms_fgColor(UIColor.purpleColor())
    >>> pms_bgColor(UIColor.blackColor())
    >>> pms_font(UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(24))
    >>> pms_fgColor(UIColor.orangeColor(), range: NSMakeRange(0, 1))
    >>> pms_strikeThrough(UIColor.greenColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.5), NSUnderlineStyle.StyleSingle)
    >>> pms_skew(0.3)
    >>> pms_stroke(UIColor.brownColor(), 4)
    >>> pms_effectLetterPress()

let attributedString = stringTuner(NSAttributedString(string: string))

// Do whatever you want with the attributed string.
label.attributedText = attributedString

All attributes will be processed from left to right.
