### Swift Package Manager

```
### Manual
1. [Download FontBlaster](//github.com/ArtSabintsev/FontBlaster/archive/master.zip).
2. Copy `FontBlaster.swift` into your project.
## Setup
Typically, all fonts are automatically found in `Bundle.main`. 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:
```Swift
FontBlaster.blast() // Defaults to Bundle.main 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 `Bundle` in the `blast(_:)` method:
```Swift
FontBlaster.blast(bundle:) // Takes one argument of type Bundle, or as mentioned above, defaults to Bundle.main if no arguments are passed
```
If you need a list of all of the loaded fonts, an overloaded version of the `blast(_:)` method has a completion handler that returns just that. Just like the original method, this method takes either a custom `Bundle` or defaults to `Bundle.main` if no argument is passed.
```Swift
// Defaults to Bundle.main as no argument is passed
FontBlaster.blast() { (fonts) in
print(fonts) // fonts is an array of Strings containing font names
}
// Custom bundle is passed as argument
FontBlaster.blast(bundle:) { (fonts) in
print(fonts) // fonts is an array of Strings containing font names
}
```
To turn on console debug statements, simply set `debugEnabled() = true` **before** calling either `blast()` method:
```Swift
FontBlaster.debugEnabled = true
FontBlaster.blast()
```
## Sample Project
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 on the navigation bar. After pushing the button, **FontBlaster** imports your fonts and redraws the view.
## Inspiration
This project builds upon an old solution that [Marco Arment](http://twitter.com/marcoarment) proposed and wrote about on his [blog](http://www.marco.org/2012/12/21/ios-dynamic-font-loading).
