Say goodbye to importing custom fonts via property lists as FontBlaster automatically imports and loads all fonts in your app's NSBundles with one line of code.
FontBlaster
class,blast()
method, anddebugEnabled
variable are now publicly scoped objects.- Due to an issue on my end with pushing v1.0.6 to CocoaPods, simply upgrade to v1.0.7.
- CocoaPods Support
- Automatically imports fonts from
NSBundle.mainbundle()
- Automatically imports fonts from bundles inside your
mainBundle
- Able to import fonts from remote bundles
- Sample Project
pod 'FontBlaster'
- Add
import FontBlaster
to any.Swift
file that references FontBlaster via a CocoaPods installation. - Requires CocoaPods 0.36 prerelease or later
- Download FontBlaster.
- Copy the
FontBlaster.swift
into your project.
Typically, all fonts are automatically found in NSBundle.mainBundle()
. Even if you have a custom bundle, it's usually lodged inside of the mainBundle.
Therefore, to load all the fonts in your application, irrespective of the bundle it's in, simply call:
FontBlaster.blast() // Defaults to NSBundle.mainBundle() if no arguments are passed
If you are loading from a bundle that isn't found inside your app's mainBundle
, simply pass a reference to your NSBundle
in the blast(_:)
method:
FontBlaster.blast(_:) // Takes one argument of type NSBundle, or as mentioned above, defaults to NSBundle.mainBundle() if no arguments are passed
To turn on console debug statements, simply set debugEnabled() = true
before calling either blast()
method:
FontBlaster.debugEnabled = true
FontBlaster.blast()
A Sample iOS project is included in the repo. When you launch the app, all fonts are configured to load custom fonts, but don't actually display them until you push the button. After pushing the button, FontBlaster imports your fonts and redraws the view.
This project builds upon an old solution that Marco Arment proposed and wrote about on his blog.
