Typeset makes it easy to create NSAttributedString

@"Hello typeset".typeset
   .match(@"Hello").fontSize(40)
   .match(@"type").purple
   .match(@"set").blue
   .string;

Demo

Usage

• Method chaining

  • All the method for typeset returns a self object to chaining itself.

     @"Hello typeset".typeset
        .match(@"Hello").fontSize(40)
        .match(@"type").purple
        .match(@"set").blue
        .string;
    

  call typeset method first and call string at last returns a NSAttributedString.

• UILabel and UITextField support

  • Add typesetBlock to UILabel or UITextField, and you can directly set it's text style with:

   label.typesetBlock = TSBlock(fontSize(40)
                          .match(@"type").purple
                          .match(@"set").blue);
   label.text = @"Hello typeset, hello.";
  
   // If you type in this text field, it will color all the `1` in text field to red
   textField.typesetBlock = TSBlock(match(@"1").red);
  

• Construct complicated NSMutableAttributedString

  TSAttributedString(@"Hello".red, @" ", @"World".blue);
  

• Match part of string

  • Typeset providing a series of method to match part of your string, you can use these method to select part of your string, and add attribute to it.

   @"Hello".typeset.from(0).to(2).red.string;
   @"Hello".typeset.location(0).length(2).red.string;
   @"Hello".typeset.range(NSMakeRange(0,2)).red.string;
   @"Hello".typeset.match(@"He").red.string;
  

  These lines of code all make @"He" of @"Hello" to red

  Match Method	Explain
  from(NSUInteger) to(NSUInteger)
  location(NSUInteger) length(NSUInteger)
  range(NSRange)
  match(NSString *)	match the first substring
  matchWithOptions(NSString *, NSStringCompareOptions)	match the first substring with options
  matchAll(NSString)	match all the substring
  matchAllWithOptions(NSString *, NSStringCompareOptions)	match all the substring with options
  all	select all the string

  • Match with pattern

  Match Method	Pattern
  matchAllWithPattern(NSString *pattern)
  matchAllWithPatternAndOptions(NSString *pattern, NSRegularExpressionOptions options)
  matchNumbers	\d+
  matchLetters	[a-zA-Z]+
  matchLanguage(NSString *language)	\p{script=%@}
  matchChinese	\p{[email protected]"Han"}

• Convinient method

  • If you don't want to change some part of the string, and only want to change the color or the font, you call call these methods directly without calling typeset first

   @"Hello".red
   @"Hello".fontSize(20).red
