SwiftColors

HEX color handling as an extension for UIColor. Written in Swift.

Examples

iOS

// With hash
let color: UIColor = UIColor(hexString: "#ff8942")

// Without hash, with alpha
let secondColor: UIColor = UIColor(hexString: "ff8942", alpha: 0.5)

// Short handling
let shortColorWithHex: UIColor = UIColor(hexString: "fff")

For those who don't want to type the double quotation, you can init a color from a real hex value (an Int)

// With hash
let color: UIColor = UIColor(hex: 0xff8942)

// Without hash, with alpha
let secondColor: UIColor = UIColor(hex: 0xff8942, alpha: 0.5)

OSX

// With hash
let color: NSColor = NSColor(hexString: "#ff8942")

// Without hash, with alpha
let secondColor: NSColor = NSColor(hexString: "ff8942", alpha: 0.5)

// Short handling
let shortColorWithHex: NSColor = NSColor(hexString: "fff")

// From a real hex value (an `Int`)
// With hash
let color: NSColor = NSColor(hex: 0xff8942)

// Without hash, with alpha
let secondColor: NSColor = NSColor(hex: 0xff8942, alpha: 0.5)

Installation

CocoaPods

To integrate SwiftColors into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

And add import SwiftColors to the top of the files using SwiftColors.

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate SwiftColors into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "thii/SwiftColors"

Run carthage to build the framework and drag the built SwiftColors.framework into your Xcode project.
