SFSymbol: SFSymbol and SFSymbol 2
All the SFSymbols at your fingertips (SFSymbol 1.1 & 2)
Usage
SFSymbol and SFSymbol2 are an enums that contain the identifier strings of all of apple’s SFSymbol and SFSymbol2.
For example SFSymbol.playCircle produces the String "play.circle" that can then be used to instantiate a system symbol via:
UIKit
UIImage(symbol: .playCircle)
or
SwiftUI
Image(symbol: .playCircle)
About
SFSymbols (1.1 and 2) is a real treat from apple, Apple’s official list of Symbols that are available to use free of charge when writing software on any of Apple’s recent platforms. There is one downfall however, it is a pain in the neck to look up exact symbol names, take for example:
"square.and.line.vertical.and.square.fill"
That is a long string to remember and digging through the catalog of SF Symbols to find in would be quite a waste of time.
Wouldn’t it be easier if you could just use code completion?
Thats what this super micro library aims to do.
