Swiftlighter

Swift Syntax Highlighter
Swiftlighter is the Open Source project that distributes under the Apache 2.0 license. This app helps to translate swift text into a highlighted HTML/CSS listing for a web page, especially for web-sites running on Blogger engine. This app has been created for developers who aren't used to apply web markup languages or somehow can’t get a web engine access to set their code up. You can also use Swiftlighter if you don’t want to put substantial investments in time and energy for additional web settings.
Available for macOS Catalina and supports Swift 5.1

    var currentText: String?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        updateMainLabel()
    }
    
    @IBAction func sendButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton){
        currentText = neededTextField.text
        updateMainLabel()
    }
    
    private func updateMainLabel(){
        guard let unwrappedCurrentText = currentText else {
            mainLabel.text = "Type any text"
            return
        }
        mainLabel.text = unwrappedCurrentText
    }
    /*
    // MARK: - New Functions
       1) Add animation
       2) Update backgrounds
    */
}

Set up by CSS field, used CSS code: font-family:sans-serif; border-radius:0px;


var someNum: Int? = nil
if let num = someNum{
    print("Hello \(num)")
}

Quick Start:
You don’t need any web knowledges to start. There are three steps for making swift code highlighted.

  1. Past or type a swift code into the Input Text Field:
    Swift Syntax Highlighter

    2.  Select a colour style for syntax highlighting. Translation will be done automatically.

    3.  Copy all the resulting code by one click and past it in HTML editor:

Colour Customisation:

Swiftlighter supports users colour customisation. All you need is to choose between editing existing or adding a new colour style. If you want to add a new colour style that is based on existing one, you can choose any style you have on your colour panel and click “Add New” button. A new style will be based on an existing style and saved as new.

Swiftlighter customisation


For changing colour you need to type its hex value (as #123456, or 123456) in a text field, also you may click a colour button and choose a colour in the popover menu.

Palettes:

Using a web safe palette is recommended for identical display on different devices. However you can use any colour from RGB and Grayscale spaces. CMYK colour space is not recommended for using. Colours from “Developer” popover menu are not supported.

Fonts and CSS:

For getting font customisation and adding your own CSS code click on the Font Profile button, choose any custom variant then click the “Edit Profile Button” when it’s enabled.

If you can't find your favourite font in the popup menu, you can add a font setting “font-family: “My Favourite Font” into the CSS field:

Note: Executes only the code that is located in the CSS field including font settings. Popup buttons and “Font Size” field only manipulate main CSS field!



You can change some installed parts of CSS code by adding into the CSS field your own code, new settings will automatically replace old. 

Parts that can be changed in <div style=“”> block: 



text-shadow; font-size; border-radius; border-width; padding; overflow; overflow-x; overflow-y; width; height;




Other CSS parts of code will be added into the <pre style = “”> block.

Multiple Inheritance in Swift or Protocol Oriented Programming

Image
Flexibility of protocols in Swift gives us an opportunity to write structs or classes that apply something like multiple inheritance. This article tries to explain a simple example of using that pattern. What is the main purpose of protocols in Swift? Of course protocols talk to structs and classes how they should look. If we signed our data type for the desired protocol and the type has no all the properties and methods which  our protocol needs, then compiler can’t launch the program. Besides we are able to sign one custom data type for many protcols and this possibility allows us to use some patterns from multiple inheritance. It's really cool and safe! For example, let's create a simple app that shows the information about nature object that we randomly get from an array. In the storyboard's scene we need to add an ImageView for object's image or animation, three labels for different information and a button for getting a random object, into the main vie

We need to talk

Hi, I am Uberdeviant, you don’t know about me anything yet, so let me tell you first information - I’m staying in China and this internet sucks (thanks, China Mobile). China is a good place for inspiration, especially Hong Kong. Wait a second, I wasn’t going to write about story of my life, the main reason I’m here is coding.  When I’ve finished reading one of the books about swift programming I was ready   to create a game that stuck in my mind from the childhood. The main idea was to build a cool mobile game where a user would create his own country and think over about politics, economy and all the ways of developing his ownership. Actually when I was twelve I liked to read some courses and books about society, economy and politic science, I got to know which differences an empire and federation or confederation had, or how to build dictatorship or democracy. China, Hong Kong, South Korea where I traveled and North Korea that I saw through the river proved all that I read

Simple app for beginners. Nuked Code [0]

The code has been nuked. There is the pilot video on my channel. In this video you will learn how to make a simple app for iOS by using Swift 5 and Xcode. Also this video covers the basic information about constants and variables, Xcode interface and NSAttributedString or attributed, coloured text as a bonus. 12 minutes of puuuuure content. Used code: import UIKit class ViewController : UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var messagesLabel : UILabel ! @IBOutlet weak var messageTextField : UITextField ! var messages = NSMutableAttributedString ( ) let firstAttribute : [ NSAttributedString . Key : Any ] = [ . foregroundColor : UIColor . blue ] let secondAttribute : [ NSAttributedString . Key : Any ] = [ . foregroundColor : UIColor . purple ] var useFirstAttribute : Bool = true override func viewDidLoad ( ) { super . viewDidLoad ( ) messagesLabel . text = nil
