I'm working on a notification page where inputs are mostly come from a JSON file and I need to combine them with localized strings. This is how it should look:
As can be predicted colored parts come from the JSON file and rest of it comes from Localizable.strings. This is what comes from Localizable file:
"%# has joined %#"
If I use String(format: String, [...]) I have a plain black text and I cant specify the parts needs to be colored.
I need the same feature for NSAttributedString but it doesn't have this method.
So how can I format attributed strings?
Check following example:
var myMutableString = NSMutableAttributedString()
myMutableString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your full label textString")
myMutableString.setAttributes([NSFontAttributeName : UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Light", size: CGFloat(17.0))!
, NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor(red: 232 / 255.0, green: 117 / 255.0, blue: 40 / 255.0, alpha: 1.0)], range: NSRange(location:12,length:8)) // What ever range you want to give
yourLabel.attributedText = myMutableString
Or another way:
To change the colour of a length of text you need to know the start and end index of the coloured-to-be characters in the string e.g.
var main_string = "Hello World"
var string_to_color = "World"
var range = (main_string as NSString).rangeOfString(string_to_color)
Then you convert to attributed string and use 'add attribute' with NSForegroundColorAttributeName:
var attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:main_string)
attributedString.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: NSColor.redColor() , range: range)
Try the below code and update your logic accordingly.
let localizableStr = "%# has joined %#"
let localisedStr = NSLocalizedString(localizableStr, comment: "")
let components = localizableStr.components(separatedBy: "%#")
let formatterStr = components.count > 2 ? components[1] : "has joined"
let evaluatedStr = NSString(format: localisedStr as NSString, "Rishi ", "Stack OVerflow")
let attributedStr = NSMutableAttributedString(string: evaluatedStr as String)
attributedStr.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.brown, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributedStr.length))
let formatterStrRange = evaluatedStr.range(of: formatterStr, options: .caseInsensitive)
attributedStr.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.black, range: formatterStrRange)
My two localised strings:
"welcome message" = "%# has joined %#";
"welcome message" = "انضم %# إلى %#";
Results
extension String {
func localisedAttributedString(_ replacements: CVarArg..., attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key : Any], replacementAttributes: [[NSAttributedString.Key : Any]?] ) -> NSAttributedString {
let message = String.init(format: NSLocalizedString(self, comment: ""), arguments: replacements)
let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: message, attributes: attributes)
for (i, replacement) in replacements.enumerated() {
if let att = replacementAttributes[i] {
let range = (attributedString.string.range(of: "\(replacement)".localized)?.nsRange(in: attributedString.string)) ?? NSRange(location: 0, length: 0)
attributedString.addAttributes(att as [NSAttributedString.Key : Any], range: range)
}
}
return attributedString
}
}
HOW TO USE
//General attr: Applied to the entire string
let generalAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont.getFont(.regular, size: 20)]
//Additional attrs applied to the replacement / dynamic bits. You can pass nil too
let nameAttributes = [ NSAttributedString.Key.backgroundColor: UIColor.red]
let companyAttributes = [ NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.blue]
myLabel.attributedText = "welcome message".localisedAttributedString("adam".localized, "space".localized, attributes: generalAttributes, replacementAttributes: [nameAttributes, companyAttributes] )
just started swift 3 and I have problems with swift syntax.
i'm trying to display a simple NSAttributedString.
so 1st I set my attributes :
let attributeFontSaySomething : [String : AnyObject] = [NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.fontSaySomething()]
let attributeColorSaySomething : [String : AnyObject] = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.blue]
Then I create my string :
let attStringSaySomething = NSAttributedString(string: "Say something", attributes: self.attributeFontSaySomething)
What i would like to do is to create the string with my 2 attributes not only just one. But when i do :
let attStringSaySomething = NSAttributedString(string: "Say something", attributes: [self.attributeFontSaySomething, self.attributeColorSaySomething])
Xcode tells me I can't and want me to change this for a literal dictionary.
How can I create my string with the 2 attributes without using a NSMutableAttributedString ?
The main issue is that you are passing an array [attr.. , attr...] rather than one dictionary.
You need to merge the two dictionaries into one
let attributeFontSaySomething : [String : Any] = [NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12.0)]
let attributeColorSaySomething : [String : Any] = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.blue]
var attributes = attributeFontSaySomething
for (key, value) in attributeColorSaySomething {
attributes(value, forKey: key)
}
let attStringSaySomething = NSAttributedString(string: "Say something", attributes: attributes)
However it might be easier to create the dictionary literally:
let attributes : [String : Any] = [NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12.0), NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.blue]
Just create a single dictionary with both sets of attributes:
let attributes: [String:AnyObject] =
[NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.fontSaySomething(),
NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.blue]
And then use the dictionary with both key/value pairs when creating your attributed string.
There's no built-in mechanism in Swift for combining dictionaries, but you could add an override of the + operator if you wanted to be able to add dictionaries together (You'd have to work out what to do if both dictionaries contained the same key however.)
Use like this:
let attStringSaySomething = NSAttributedString.init(string: "Hello", attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16), NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.black])
You can use this code for different attributes on different strings With Roboto font (For Roboto font use MDFRobotoFontLoader)
let yourAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.black, NSFontAttributeName: MDFRobotoFontLoader.sharedInstance().regularFont(ofSize: 20)]
let finalString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "", attributes: yourAttributes)
let attributeStr = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "XYZGFDGii", attributes: yourAttributes)
finalString.append(attributeStr)
let yourOtherAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.red, NSFontAttributeName: MDFRobotoFontLoader.sharedInstance().regularFont(ofSize: 24)]
let partTwo = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "hfjghlkdhkjld", attributes: yourOtherAttributes)
finalString.append(partTwo)
This example uses Roboto font
Thanks for #vadian's answer
Update For Swift 4
let attributes : [NSAttributedStringKey : Any] = [NSAttributedStringKey(rawValue: NSAttributedStringKey.font.rawValue) : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12.0), NSAttributedStringKey(rawValue: NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor.rawValue) : UIColor(hex:"4C0000")]
refreshControl.attributedTitle=NSAttributedString(string: "Refreshing...", attributes: attributes)
The problem is that you are inserting two dictionaries into a dictionary, what only expects [String: Any], not [[String: Any], [String: Any]] type.
You can do the following:
let attStringSaySomething = NSAttributedString(string: "Say something", attributes: [NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.fontSaySomething(), NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.blue])
You could also group the values into tuples instead of dictionaries, and insert them into your dictionary based on the key and value:
let attributeFontSaySomething = (key: NSFontAttributeName, value: UIFont.fontSaySomething())
let attributeColorSaySomething = (key: NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.blue)
let attStringSaySomething = NSAttributedString(string: "Say something", attributes: [attributeFontSaySomething.key : attributeFontSaySomething.value,attributeColorSaySomething.key : attributeColorSaySomething.value])
Some of the answers are out dated here, especially for Swift 4 and above, you can use something like:
let wholeString = "This is whole string"
let partToAttribute = "whole string"
let attributedMessage = NSMutableAttributedString(string: wholeString)
.highlightString(with: UIColor.blue, for: partToAttribute, isBackground: true)
.fontHighlightString(with: UIFont.makeBoldFont(size: 16), color: UIColor.white, for: partToAttribute)
titleLabel.attributedText = attributedMessage
So at the end, you apply 2 attributes which are highlightString and fontHighlightString
First you can initialise attributes by using
var myAttribute = [ NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.init(hexString: "#FFAEA9"), NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont(name: "Dubai-Medium", size: 16) ]
after that you can use it...
let myString = "Enter default amount"
let text = NSAttributedString(string: myString, attributes: myAttribute)
enterCustomAmount.setAttributedTitle(text, for: .normal)
I have a string like this
var str = "#text1 this is good #text1"
Now replace text1 with another string, say t 1. I am able to replace the text, but i am not able to bold it. I want to bold the new string t 1, so that the final output will be:
#t 1 this is good #t 1
How can I do it?
All the examples I am seeing are in Objective-C, but I want to do it in Swift.
Usage:
let label = UILabel()
label.attributedText =
NSMutableAttributedString()
.bold("Address: ")
.normal(" Kathmandu, Nepal\n\n")
.orangeHighlight(" Email: ")
.blackHighlight(" prajeet.shrestha#gmail.com ")
.bold("\n\nCopyright: ")
.underlined(" All rights reserved. 2020.")
Result:
Here is a neat way to make a combination of bold and normal texts in a single label plus some other bonus methods.
Extension: Swift 5.*
extension NSMutableAttributedString {
var fontSize:CGFloat { return 14 }
var boldFont:UIFont { return UIFont(name: "AvenirNext-Bold", size: fontSize) ?? UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: fontSize) }
var normalFont:UIFont { return UIFont(name: "AvenirNext-Regular", size: fontSize) ?? UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: fontSize)}
func bold(_ value:String) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let attributes:[NSAttributedString.Key : Any] = [
.font : boldFont
]
self.append(NSAttributedString(string: value, attributes:attributes))
return self
}
func normal(_ value:String) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let attributes:[NSAttributedString.Key : Any] = [
.font : normalFont,
]
self.append(NSAttributedString(string: value, attributes:attributes))
return self
}
/* Other styling methods */
func orangeHighlight(_ value:String) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let attributes:[NSAttributedString.Key : Any] = [
.font : normalFont,
.foregroundColor : UIColor.white,
.backgroundColor : UIColor.orange
]
self.append(NSAttributedString(string: value, attributes:attributes))
return self
}
func blackHighlight(_ value:String) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let attributes:[NSAttributedString.Key : Any] = [
.font : normalFont,
.foregroundColor : UIColor.white,
.backgroundColor : UIColor.black
]
self.append(NSAttributedString(string: value, attributes:attributes))
return self
}
func underlined(_ value:String) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let attributes:[NSAttributedString.Key : Any] = [
.font : normalFont,
.underlineStyle : NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue
]
self.append(NSAttributedString(string: value, attributes:attributes))
return self
}
}
Note: If compiler is missing UIFont/UIColor, replace them with NSFont/NSColor.
var normalText = "Hi am normal"
var boldText = "And I am BOLD!"
var attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:normalText)
var attrs = [NSAttributedString.Key.font : UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 15)]
var boldString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: boldText, attributes:attrs)
attributedString.append(boldString)
When you want to assign it to a label:
yourLabel.attributedText = attributedString
edit/update: Xcode 13.1 • Swift 5.5.1
If you know HTML and CSS you can use it to easily control the font style, color and size of your attributed string as follow:
DiscussionThe HTML importer should not be called from a background thread (that is, the options dictionary includes documentType with a value of html). It will try to synchronize with the main thread, fail, and time out. Calling it from the main thread works (but can still time out if the HTML contains references to external resources, which should be avoided at all costs). The HTML import mechanism is meant for implementing something like markdown (that is, text styles, colors, and so on), not for general HTML import.
extension StringProtocol {
var html2AttStr: NSAttributedString? {
try? NSAttributedString(data: Data(utf8), options: [.documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html, .characterEncoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue], documentAttributes: nil)
}
}
"<style type=\"text/css\">#red{color:#F00}#green{color:#0F0}#blue{color: #00F; font-weight: Bold; font-size: 32}</style><span id=\"red\" >Red,</span><span id=\"green\" > Green </span><span id=\"blue\">and Blue</span>".html2AttStr
If you're working with localised strings, you might not be able to rely on the bold string always being at the end of the sentence. If this is the case then the following works well:
e.g. Query "blah" does not match any items
/* Create the search query part of the text, e.g. "blah".
The variable 'text' is just the value entered by the user. */
let searchQuery = "\"\(text)\""
/* Put the search text into the message */
let message = "Query \(searchQuery). does not match any items"
/* Find the position of the search string. Cast to NSString as we want
range to be of type NSRange, not Swift's Range<Index> */
let range = (message as NSString).rangeOfString(searchQuery)
/* Make the text at the given range bold. Rather than hard-coding a text size,
Use the text size configured in Interface Builder. */
let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: message)
attributedString.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value: UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(label.font.pointSize), range: range)
/* Put the text in a label */
label.attributedText = attributedString
I extended David West's great answer so that you can input a string and tell it all the substrings you would like to embolden:
func addBoldText(fullString: NSString, boldPartsOfString: Array<NSString>, font: UIFont!, boldFont: UIFont!) -> NSAttributedString {
let nonBoldFontAttribute = [NSFontAttributeName:font!]
let boldFontAttribute = [NSFontAttributeName:boldFont!]
let boldString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: fullString as String, attributes:nonBoldFontAttribute)
for i in 0 ..< boldPartsOfString.count {
boldString.addAttributes(boldFontAttribute, range: fullString.rangeOfString(boldPartsOfString[i] as String))
}
return boldString
}
And then call it like this:
let normalFont = UIFont(name: "Dosis-Medium", size: 18)
let boldSearchFont = UIFont(name: "Dosis-Bold", size: 18)
self.UILabel.attributedText = addBoldText("Check again in 30 days to find more friends", boldPartsOfString: ["Check", "30 days", "find", "friends"], font: normalFont!, boldFont: boldSearchFont!)
This will embolden all the substrings you want bolded in your given string
This is the best way that I have come up with. Add a function you can call from anywhere and add it to a file without a class like Constants.swift and then you can embolden words within any string, on numerous occasions by calling just ONE LINE of code:
To go in a constants.swift file:
import Foundation
import UIKit
func addBoldText(fullString: NSString, boldPartOfString: NSString, font: UIFont!, boldFont: UIFont!) -> NSAttributedString {
let nonBoldFontAttribute = [NSFontAttributeName:font!]
let boldFontAttribute = [NSFontAttributeName:boldFont!]
let boldString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: fullString as String, attributes:nonBoldFontAttribute)
boldString.addAttributes(boldFontAttribute, range: fullString.rangeOfString(boldPartOfString as String))
return boldString
}
Then you can just call this one line of code for any UILabel:
self.UILabel.attributedText = addBoldText("Check again in 30 DAYS to find more friends", boldPartOfString: "30 DAYS", font: normalFont!, boldFont: boldSearchFont!)
//Mark: Albeit that you've had to define these somewhere:
let normalFont = UIFont(name: "INSERT FONT NAME", size: 15)
let boldFont = UIFont(name: "INSERT BOLD FONT", size: 15)
Building on Jeremy Bader and David West's excellent answers, a Swift 3 extension:
extension String {
func withBoldText(boldPartsOfString: Array<NSString>, font: UIFont!, boldFont: UIFont!) -> NSAttributedString {
let nonBoldFontAttribute = [NSFontAttributeName:font!]
let boldFontAttribute = [NSFontAttributeName:boldFont!]
let boldString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: self as String, attributes:nonBoldFontAttribute)
for i in 0 ..< boldPartsOfString.count {
boldString.addAttributes(boldFontAttribute, range: (self as NSString).range(of: boldPartsOfString[i] as String))
}
return boldString
}
}
Usage:
let label = UILabel()
let font = UIFont(name: "AvenirNext-Italic", size: 24)!
let boldFont = UIFont(name: "AvenirNext-BoldItalic", size: 24)!
label.attributedText = "Make sure your face is\nbrightly and evenly lit".withBoldText(
boldPartsOfString: ["brightly", "evenly"], font: font, boldFont: boldFont)
Swift 4 and higher
For Swift 4 and higher that is a good way:
let attributsBold = [NSAttributedString.Key.font : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16, weight: .bold)]
let attributsNormal = [NSAttributedString.Key.font : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16, weight: .regular)]
var attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Hi ", attributes:attributsNormal)
let boldStringPart = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "John", attributes:attributsBold)
attributedString.append(boldStringPart)
yourLabel.attributedText = attributedString
In the Label the Text looks like: "Hi John"
usage....
let attrString = NSMutableAttributedString()
.appendWith(weight: .semibold, "almost bold")
.appendWith(color: .white, weight: .bold, " white and bold")
.appendWith(color: .black, ofSize: 18.0, " big black")
two cents...
extension NSMutableAttributedString {
#discardableResult func appendWith(color: UIColor = UIColor.darkText, weight: UIFont.Weight = .regular, ofSize: CGFloat = 12.0, _ text: String) -> NSMutableAttributedString{
let attrText = NSAttributedString.makeWith(color: color, weight: weight, ofSize:ofSize, text)
self.append(attrText)
return self
}
}
extension NSAttributedString {
public static func makeWith(color: UIColor = UIColor.darkText, weight: UIFont.Weight = .regular, ofSize: CGFloat = 12.0, _ text: String) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let attrs = [NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: ofSize, weight: weight), NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: color]
return NSMutableAttributedString(string: text, attributes:attrs)
}
}
Accepting as valid the response of Prajeet Shrestha in this thread, I would like to extend his solution using the Label if it is known and the traits of the font.
Swift 4
extension NSMutableAttributedString {
#discardableResult func normal(_ text: String) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let normal = NSAttributedString(string: text)
append(normal)
return self
}
#discardableResult func bold(_ text: String, withLabel label: UILabel) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
//generate the bold font
var font: UIFont = UIFont(name: label.font.fontName , size: label.font.pointSize)!
font = UIFont(descriptor: font.fontDescriptor.withSymbolicTraits(.traitBold) ?? font.fontDescriptor, size: font.pointSize)
//generate attributes
let attrs: [NSAttributedStringKey: Any] = [NSAttributedStringKey.font: font]
let boldString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:text, attributes: attrs)
//append the attributed text
append(boldString)
return self
}
}
Super easy way to do this.
let text = "This string is having multiple font"
let attributedText =
NSMutableAttributedString.getAttributedString(fromString: text)
attributedText.apply(font: UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 24), subString:
"This")
attributedText.apply(font: UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 24), onRange:
NSMakeRange(5, 6))

For -> Search Television by size
1-way using NString and its Range
let query = "Television"

let range = (message as NSString).range(of: query)
let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: message)
attributedString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.font, value: UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: label1.font.pointSize), range: range)

This could be useful
class func createAttributedStringFrom (string1 : String ,strin2 : String, attributes1 : Dictionary<String, NSObject>, attributes2 : Dictionary<String, NSObject>) -> NSAttributedString{
let fullStringNormal = (string1 + strin2) as NSString
let attributedFullString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: fullStringNormal as String)
attributedFullString.addAttributes(attributes1, range: fullStringNormal.rangeOfString(string1))
attributedFullString.addAttributes(attributes2, range: fullStringNormal.rangeOfString(strin2))
return attributedFullString
}
Swift 3.0
Convert html to string and font change as per your requirement.
do {
let str = try NSAttributedString(data: ("I'm a normal text and <b>this is my bold part . </b>And I'm again in the normal text".data(using: String.Encoding.unicode, allowLossyConversion: true)!), options: [ NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType], documentAttributes: nil)
myLabel.attributedText = str
myLabel.font = MONTSERRAT_BOLD(23)
myLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.left
} catch {
print(error)
}
func MONTSERRAT_BOLD(_ size: CGFloat) -> UIFont
{
return UIFont(name: "MONTSERRAT-BOLD", size: size)!
}
Swift 5.1
use NSAttributedString.Key instead of NSAttributedStringKey
let test1Attributes:[NSAttributedString.Key: Any] = [.font : UIFont(name: "CircularStd-Book", size: 14)!]
let test2Attributes:[NSAttributedString.Key: Any] = [.font : UIFont(name: "CircularStd-Bold", size: 16)!]
let test1 = NSAttributedString(string: "\(greeting!) ", attributes:test1Attributes)
let test2 = NSAttributedString(string: firstName!, attributes:test2Attributes)
let text = NSMutableAttributedString()
text.append(test1)
text.append(test2)
return text
for making mixed-type strings (Attributed String ) It is better to use Xcode's interface builder if the text is static.
it is very easy and convenient.
Just use code something like this:
let font = UIFont(name: "Your-Font-Name", size: 10.0)!
let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(attributedString: noteLabel.attributedText!)
let boldedRange = NSRange(attributedText.string.range(of: "Note:")!, in: attributedText.string)
attributedText.addAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.font : font], range: boldedRange)
noteLabel.attributedText = attributedText
two liner in swift 4:
button.setAttributedTitle(.init(string: "My text", attributes: [.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20, weight: .bold)]), for: .selected)
button.setAttributedTitle(.init(string: "My text", attributes: [.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20, weight: .regular)]), for: .normal)
With recent versions (iOS 15+) you can use AttributedString to create Markdown strings :
let rawMarkdown = "This is **bold**"
let content;
do {
content = try AttributedString(markdown: rawMarkdown)
} catch {
content = AttributedString(rawMarkdown)
}
and display them with Swift UI's Text:
Text(content)
Improving upon Prajeet Shrestha answer : -
You can make a generic extension for NSMutableAttributedString which involves less code. In this case I have chosen to use system font but you could adapt it so you can input the font name as a parameter.
extension NSMutableAttributedString {
func systemFontWith(text: String, size: CGFloat, weight: CGFloat) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let attributes: [String: AnyObject] = [NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: size, weight: weight)]
let string = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text, attributes: attributes)
self.append(string)
return self
}
}
You can do this using simple custom method written below.
You have give whole string in first parameter and text to be bold in the second parameter. Hope this will help.
func getAttributedBoldString(str : String, boldTxt : String) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let attrStr = NSMutableAttributedString.init(string: str)
let boldedRange = NSRange(str.range(of: boldTxt)!, in: str)
attrStr.addAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.font : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17, weight: .bold)], range: boldedRange)
return attrStr
}
usage:
initalString = I am a Boy
label.attributedText = getAttributedBoldString(str : initalString, boldTxt : "Boy")
resultant string = I am a Boy
