SwiftStyleSheet

Creates a StyleSheet to integrate in your Swift projects for easier, simpler, safer and consistent colors and fonts management. By providing it a JSON file listing all colours and fonts you are using in your app, this script generates enums and helper functions that you can easily include in your project.

Installation

From the same folder in your Terminal, simply run:

xcrun swift main.swift styleSheet.json StyleSheet.swift

This will use the file styleSheet.json as input to generate the file StyleSheet.swift that you can straight away include in your project.

Usage

Once the style sheet file is included in your project, you can use the generated enums to set a colour / font on your UILabels, UIButtons and any other UI element.

For example, if in your JSON file your declared a list of text styles and colours as such:

{
  "textStyles": {
    "Body": {
      "font": "AvenirNext-Medium",
      "size": 14,
      "colour": "OffBlack"
    }
  },
  "colours": {
    "OffBlack": [
      20,
      20,
      20
    ]
  }
}

In your code you can simply type:

self.myLabel.font = TextStyle.body.font
self.myLabel.textColor = TextStyle.body.color

For a UIView background color you can also type:

self.myView.backgroundColor = UIColor(commonColor: .offBlack)
