With `IBLocalizable`, you can localize your views in `Interface Builder` easily.

Simply set the new `Localizable String` property that shows up in Interface builder to the value that you added in your Localizable `.string file`. Most views can be localized this way `without a single line of code`.



## Installation

### [Swift package manager](https://swift.org/package-manager)



Add `.Package(url: "https://github.com/PiXeL16/IBLocalizable.git",majorVersion: 1)` to your `Package.swift`



### [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org)



Add `pod 'IBLocalizable'` to your Podfile.



### [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage)



Add `github "PiXeL16/IBLocalizable"` to your Cartfile.



### Manual Installation

* Please note, installation via CocoaPods or Carthage is much simpler and recommended.



Download and drop `/IBLocalizable` in your project.



## Supported Views



* UILabel

* UIButton

* UINavigationItem (Navigation titles)

* UIBarItem (BarButton, TabBarItem, etc)

* UITextField

* UITextView

* UISearchBar



### Supporting custom views

Custom views can be supported easily. Just create an `extension` and implement the `Localizable` Protocol.



If your custom view extends from `UIView` you only need to extend your custom view and implement the `localizableProperty`.



For example: lets say that I have a custom view that contains several `UILabel` and a `UIImageView`. I will like to localize one of the `UILabel`.



```swift

import UIKit

extension MyCustomView {



    public override var localizableProperty: String?{



        get{

            return self.label.text

        }

        set{

            self.label.text = newValue

        }

    }

}

```

Thats it! :smile:.



## Usage

After the package its installed simply open your `Storyboard` or `Interface Builder`. All of the supported views will show a `new` `Localizable String` property.

Since everything is extension based, `IBLocalizable` should play nice with other libraries or `pods` that you are using.



### Build Performance



Since `IBLocalizable` only uses `IBInspectable` and never `IBDesignable`, your incremental builds will continue to work. (http://www.openradar.me/20690594)



## Sample Project

In the `Xcode Project` you can find a sample project of a simple `Login` view controller. All of this is automatically localizable in English and Spanish by just using `IBLocalizable`.

## To do

* Support more views (TableView Cells, etc)

* Improve sample project.
