Introduction
Welcome to the ColorHex documentation! This guide will walk you through the features and usage of the ColorHex library.
Installation
Prerequisites
- Make sure you have Cocoapods installed on your system
- Xcode 11 or later
- iOS 10 or later
Installing ColorHex
To include ColorHex in your project, add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'ColorHex'
Then, run the following command in Terminal:
pod install
Usage
To use the ColorHex library within your project, follow the steps below:
Importing ColorHex
In your Swift file, import ColorHex using the following line:
import ColorHex
Converting Hex to UIColor
ColorHex provides a simple way to convert a hexadecimal color code into a UIColor object. Use the following method:
let color = UIColor(hex: "FF0000")
This will create a UIColor object representing the color with the specified hex code.
Converting UIColor to Hex
If you have a UIColor object and need to convert it into its hexadecimal representation, use the following method:
let hexCode = color.toHex()
This will return the hex code as a string.
Additional Functions
In addition to the conversion functions, ColorHex provides a few more useful utilities:
- isValidHex(_ string: String) -> Bool: Checks if a given string is a valid hexadecimal color code.
- UIColor.random: Returns a random UIColor object.
Example
Here’s an example demonstrating how to use ColorHex:
import UIKit
import ColorHex
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let hexCode = "00FF00"
if UIColor.isValidHex(hexCode) {
let color = UIColor(hex: hexCode)
view.backgroundColor = color
} else {
print("Invalid hex code")
}
}
}
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully integrated the ColorHex library into your project. You can now easily convert hexadecimal color codes into UIColor objects and vice versa. Enjoy using ColorHex to enhance your app’s color styling capabilities!
