Add NSUnderlineStyle.PatternDash to NSAttributedString in Swift?
Here's a full example of creating a UILabel
with underlined text:
Swift 5:
let homeLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 30))let text = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "hello, world!")let attrs = [NSAttributedString.Key.underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.patternDash.rawValue | NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue]text.addAttributes(attrs, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: text.length))homeLabel.attributedText = text
Swift 4:
let homeLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 30))let text = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "hello, world!")let attrs = [NSAttributedStringKey.underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.patternDash.rawValue | NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue]text.addAttributes(attrs, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: text.length))homeLabel.attributedText = text
Swift 2:
Swift allows you to pass an Int
to a method that takes an NSNumber
, so you can make this a little cleaner by removing the conversion to NSNumber
:
text.addAttribute(NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName, value: NSUnderlineStyle.StyleDouble.rawValue, range: NSMakeRange(0, text.length))
Note: This answer previously used toRaw()
as used in the original question, but that is now incorrect as toRaw()
has been replaced by the property rawValue
as of Xcode 6.1.
If you want an actual dashed line, you should OR | the raw values of both PatternDash and StyleSingle enums like below:
let dashed = NSUnderlineStyle.PatternDash.rawValue | NSUnderlineStyle.StyleSingle.rawValuelet attribs = [NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName : dashed, NSUnderlineColorAttributeName : UIColor.whiteColor()];let attrString = NSAttributedString(string: plainText, attributes: attribs)
In Xcode 6.1, SDK iOS 8.1 toRaw()
has been replaced by rawValue
:
text.addAttribute(NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName, value: NSUnderlineStyle.StyleDouble.rawValue, range: NSMakeRange(0, text.length))
Or Easier :
var text : NSAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: str, attributes : [NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName: NSUnderlineStyle.StyleSingle.rawValue])
