SFSymbolsKit

SFSymbolsKit

Now Supporting macOS

Release Workflow Swift Versions Platforms Supported

SFSymbolsKit is a tiny Swift package that provides extensions to String, UIImage and NSImage to make using SFSymbols easy peasy. The extensions and the accompanying Enum are all generated using the python scripts included in this package along with a list of all of the SFSymbols names.

🛠️ Installation

SFSymbolsKit can be installed with Swift Package Manager.

Swift Package Manager (Xcode 15.3 or higher)

The preferred way of installing SFSymbolsKit is via the Swift Package Manager.

  1. In Xcode, open your project and navigate to FileSwift PackagesAdd Package Dependency...
  2. Paste the repository URL (https://github.com/WikipediaBrown/SFSymbolsKit.git) and click Next.
  3. For Rules, select Version (Up to Next Major) and click Next.
  4. Click Finish.

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: String.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: UIImage.SFSymbols.plusApp)
    .resizable()
    .scaledToFit()
    .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
    .foregroundColor(.primary)

🗾 NSImage

Uou can use the NSImage estnsion to get the image of all of the SFSymbols available. You can add an image like this:

Image(nsImage: NSImage.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(nsImage: 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 bash generateSymbols.sh. This command runs a bash script that in turn runs the command brew install python and then the command python3 UIImageExtension.py && python3 UIImageExtensionTests.py && python3 StringExtension.py && python3 StringExtensionTests.py && python3 Enum.py. This runs the python scripts will regenerate the String and UIImage extensions and enum.

🧪 Test

Run command+u in Xcode to run the unit tests. Test are run automatically for all pull requests. When running tests locally, be sure to be using iOS 17.2 or later or macOS 14.5 or later. Some symbols are not included in earlier versions. Releases of SFSymbolsKit support SFSymbols 5.1.

🏎️ Fastlane Scan

You can also run tests on both iOS & macOS using fastlane. This requires installing fastlane which in turn requires installing Homebrew. With Homebrew and fastlane installed you can open a terminal and navigate to the SFSymbolsKit's root folder and run the command fastlane unit_test. This will run the unit tests for both iOS & macOS in succession. You should expect to see 100% code coverage for both test runs.

🐁 Versioning

SFSymbolsKit releases a new version on GitHub automatically when a pull request is approved from the develop branch to the master branch.
