TextReplacements is a SwiftUI library that extends the Text view with ways to customize any parts of its text.

TextReplacements works on all major Apple platforms and is designed to be easy to use.

TextReplacements can be installed with the Swift Package Manager:

https://github.com/danielsaidi/TextReplacements.git

TextReplacements let you create a Text with one or multiple text replacements. For instance, the preview above was created like this:

Text(
    "TextReplacements is a SwiftUI library that extends the Text view...",
    replacements: [
        "TextReplacements": {
            Text($0)
                .font(.title)
                .fontWeight(.black)
                .fontDesign(.rounded)
                .foregroundColor(.green)
        },
        "SwiftUI": {
            Text($0)
                .font(.headline)
                .fontWeight(.black)
                .fontDesign(.rounded)
                .foregroundColor(.blue)
        },
        "Text": {
            Text($0)
                .fontWeight(.black)
                .fontDesign(.rounded)
                .foregroundColor(.primary.opacity(0.6))
        }
        ...
    ]
)

Since each text replacement must return a Text result, we can only apply view modifiers that return a Text. This brings some limitations, like not being able to apply a background color to individual components.

TextReplacements lets you initialize a Text view with a collection of texts and links:

Text(
    .text("You must accept our"),
    .link("terms & conditions", .init(string: "https://danielsaidi.com")),
    .text("to use this app. See our"),
    .link("website", .init(string: "https://danielsaidi.com")),
    .text("for more information.")
)
.textLinkStyle(.boldItalic)
.accentColor(.orange)
.foregroundColor(.blue)
.padding()

The resulting text is rendered as Markdown, which makes it possible to use plain view modifiers to style the view.

The online documentation has more information, articles, code examples, etc.

This package will get a demo application once it gets more than 100 stars.
