I'm trying to apply Bold and Italic to selected text in UITextView using textKit in swift.
This is the code:
let isBold = false
if !isActive(modification: .swapBoldWithItalic) || isBold{
storage.setAttributes(attributes, range: range)
} else {
let currentFont = attributes![.font] as? UIFont
let fontDescriptor = currentFont?.fontDescriptor
var changedFontDescriptor: UIFontDescriptor?
if fontDescriptor!.symbolicTraits.contains(.traitItalic) {
changedFontDescriptor = fontDescriptor?.withSymbolicTraits(fontDescriptor!.symbolicTraits.union(.traitItalic))
} else {
changedFontDescriptor = fontDescriptor?.withSymbolicTraits(fontDescriptor!.symbolicTraits.union(.traitBold))
}
var updatedFont: UIFont? = nil
if let changedFontDescriptor = changedFontDescriptor {
updatedFont = UIFont(descriptor: changedFontDescriptor, size: (currentFont?.pointSize)!)
}
let dict = [
NSAttributedString.Key.font: updatedFont,
NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.red
]
storage.setAttributes(dict, range: range)
}
What I'm trying to achieve is
What is happening now is when i select text and change it to bold it changes to bold, but when i try to change another text to Italic also it changes to bold and I'm still not able to swap from bold to italic.
I suspect you wanna toggle bold and italic by different buttons. I've made an extension which will be easy for you to use:
extension UIFont {
func byTogglingSymbolicTraits(_ symbolicTraits: UIFontDescriptor.SymbolicTraits) -> UIFont {
UIFont(
descriptor: fontDescriptor.byTogglingSymbolicTraits(symbolicTraits),
size: pointSize
)
}
}
extension UIFontDescriptor {
func byTogglingSymbolicTraits(_ traints: UIFontDescriptor.SymbolicTraits) -> UIFontDescriptor {
if symbolicTraits.contains(traints) {
return withSymbolicTraits(symbolicTraits.subtracting(traints))!
} else {
return withSymbolicTraits(symbolicTraits.union(traints))!
}
}
}
Usage:
font = font.byTogglingSymbolicTraits(.traitBold)
// or
font = font.byTogglingSymbolicTraits(.traitItalic)
