How to make the text as a hyperlink in NSTextView programmatically?

Like this:

Just click here to register

or like this:

Just http://example.com to register

I found this solution but it works only for iOS, not for macOS

Solution

  • Try this:

    let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Just click here to register")
let range = NSRange(location: 5, length: 10)
let url = URL(string: "https://www.apple.com")!

attributedString.setAttributes([.link: url], range: range)
textView.textStorage?.setAttributedString(attributedString)

// Define how links should look like within the text view
textView.linkTextAttributes = [
    .foregroundColor: NSColor.blue,
    .underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue
]
