UIKit-Modifiers

SwiftUI-like modifiers for many UIKit views and controls - syntactic sugar, nothing more 🎁

Let me know if you miss something 😉

Hint: To avoid conflicts with existing functions I had to use different function signatures for some modifiers!

Example

If you create your views in code you may find yourself writing something similar to

var textField: UITextField = {
    let textField = UITextField()
    textField.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    textField.placeholder = "Username"
    textField.textColor = .systemBlue
    textField.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 17, weight: .semibold)
    textField.textContentType = .username
    return textField
}()

With this Swift package you can use SwiftUI-like modifiers

var textField: UITextField = {
    UITextField()
      .translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints(false)
      .placeholder("Username")
      .textColor(.systemBlue)
      .font(.systemFont(ofSize: 17, weight: .semibold))
      .textContentType(.username)
}()

Enjoy adding some syntactic sugar on top of your UIKit code 🚀
