Font management (System & Custom) for iOS and tvOS

Usage

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)

What about Custom Fonts?

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 support

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)
