Currently, I have been using .lineSpacing(...)
, but this only works for multi-line text.
/// Sets the amount of space between lines of text in this view.
///
/// - Parameter lineSpacing: The amount of space between the bottom of one
/// line and the top of the next line.
@inlinable public func lineSpacing(_ lineSpacing: CGFloat) -> some View
What this means is that it's harder for me to translate fonts exactly from sketch/figma, and I need to play around with the padding to get it right. Here is an example that shows this:
VStack {
// Line spacing is ignored.
Text("Hello, World!")
.background(Color.green)
.lineSpacing(50)
Spacer()
// Line spacing is correct.
Text("Lorem ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in the graphic, print, and publishing industries for previewing layouts and visual mockups.")
.background(Color.green)
.lineSpacing(50)
}
Based on the answer by Dan Hassan I made myself a ViewModifier to do this, and it looks like it works as intended
import SwiftUI
struct FontWithLineHeight: ViewModifier {
let font: UIFont
let lineHeight: CGFloat
func body(content: Content) -> some View {
content
.font(Font(font))
.lineSpacing(lineHeight - font.lineHeight)
.padding(.vertical, (lineHeight - font.lineHeight) / 2)
}
}
extension View {
func fontWithLineHeight(font: UIFont, lineHeight: CGFloat) -> some View {
ModifiedContent(content: self, modifier: FontWithLineHeight(font: font, lineHeight: lineHeight))
}
}
