Adding Package Dependencies to Your App

Usage

String

You can use the String extension to get the name of all of the SFSymbols available. You can add an image like this

Image(systemName: .SFSymbols.plusApp)
    .resizable()
    .scaledToFit()
    .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
    .foregroundColor(.primary)

UIImage

You can use the UIImage extension to get the image of all of the SFSymbols available. You can add an image like this

Image(uiImage: .SFSymbols.plusApp)
    .resizable()
    .scaledToFit()
    .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
    .foregroundColor(.primary)

Enum

Additionally, there is an enum that is CaseIterable that provides access to all of the strings in the String extension and access to all of the images through an image property.

Image(uiImage: SFSymbol.plusApp.image)
    .resizable()
    .scaledToFit()
    .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
    .foregroundColor(.primary)

or

Image(systemName: SFSymbol.plusApp.string)
    .resizable()
    .scaledToFit()
    .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
    .foregroundColor(.primary)

Generation

The scripts used to generate the extensions and enum are written in Python 2.7.18. Which means you'll need Python.

Get Python

Assuming you're running macOS, you should first install Homebrew and then use Homebrew to install Python by running the command brew install python.

Get List of Names

Get list of names of SFSymbols by opening the SFSymbols App (you can get it from  Developer) and paste it into the SFSymbols.txt file. Check out this StackOverflow post.

Run Python Scripts

Run the command python3 UIImageExtension.py && python3 UIImageExtensionTests.py && python3 StringExtension.py && python3 StringExtensionTests.py && python3 Enum.py and the python scripts will regenerate the extension and enum.

Test

Run command+u to run the unit tests. Test are run automatically for all pull requests.
