UIKonf '14: TextKit For The Rest Of Us

TextKit is Apple's way to layout, render and edit text on iOS 7. This new collection of classes enables developers to work with text in unprecedented ways.

After shedding some light on mysterious class names, this talk will highlight a few of those new possibilities. Things you never dared asking for are now are just a few lines of code away.

16. Syntax Highlighting
17. Comments Pragmas Keywords
18. NSTextStorage Store Text NSTextContainer Define Text Area Model NSLayoutManager Control Layout Controller UITextView Display + Input View
19. NSTextStorage Store Text + Attributes
20. Class Cluster TKETextStorage NSTextStorage Abstract - string! - attributesAtIndex:effectiveRange:! ! - replaceCharactersInRange:withString:! - setAttributes:range: NSAttributedString storage
21. Simple Text Storage TKETextStorage NSAttributedString storage - (NSString *)string { return [storage string]; } - (NSDictionary *)attributesAtIndex:(NSUInteger)location effectiveRange:(NSRangePointer)range { return [storage attributesAtIndex:location effectiveRange:range]; } - (id)init { self = [super init]; ! if (self) { storage = [NSMutableAttributedString new]; } return self; }
22. Simple Text Storage - (void)setAttributes:(NSDictionary *)attrs range:(NSRange)range { [storage setAttributes:attrs range:range]; ! } - (void)replaceCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range withString:(NSString *)str { [storage replaceCharactersInRange:range withString:str]; ! ! ! } [self edited:NSTextStorageEditedCharacters range:range changeInLength:(NSInteger)str.length - (NSInteger)range.length]; [self edited:NSTextStorageEditedAttributes range:range changeInLength:0];
24. Code Text Storage TKETextStorage - string! - attributesAtIndex:effectiveRange:! ! - replaceCharactersInRange:withString:! - setAttributes:range: Text / Code Attributes TKECodeString storage NSAttributedString cache
25. Code Text Storage - (void)setAttributes:(NSDictionary *)attrs range:(NSRange)range { [cache setAttributes:attrs range:range]; ! [self edited:NSTextStorageEditedAttributes range:range changeInLength:0]; } - (void)replaceCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range withString:(NSString *)str { [storage replaceCharactersInRange:range withString:str]; [cache replaceCharactersInRange:range withString:str]; ! [self edited:NSTextStorageEditedCharacters range:range changeInLength:(NSInteger)str.length - (NSInteger)range.length]; }
26. Text Storage Mutation -beginEditing -endEditing -replaceCharactersInRange:… Notify Change
27. Text Storage Mutation -beginEditing -endEditing -processEditing -replaceCharactersInRange:… All textual changes done -replaceCharactersInRange:… Compute colors Notify Change
28. Compute Colors - (void)processEditing { ... // Clean up colors ! ! [self.content enumerateCodeInRange:range usingBlock:^(NSRange range, TKECodeType type) { ! [self addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[self textColorForCodeType: type] range:range]; ! }]; ! [super processEditing]; } CodeString knows code TextStorage maps colors
