# SFSymbolsMacro

This Swift Macro provides an easy way to make the use of SF Symbols in Swift more or less *"type-safe"*.

## Installation

### Xcode

1. Click File > Add Package Dependencies
2. Paste the following link into the search field on the upper-right:
```
https://github.com/lukepistrol/SFSymbolsMacro.git
```

### Swift Package Manager

In `Package.swift`:

```swift
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/lukepistrol/SFSymbolsMacro.git", from: "0.1.0")
]
```

And then add the dependency to your targets.

## Usage

Simply create an `enum` which will hold all the SF Symbols for your project:

```swift
enum Symbols: String {
case circle
case circleFill = "circle.fill"
case shareIcon = "square.and.arrow.up"
case globe
}
```

Then simply import `SFSymbolsMacro` and add the `@SFSymbol` macro annotation to the enum:

```swift
import SFSymbolsMacro
import SwiftUI

@SFSymbol
enum Symbols: String { ... }
```

The macro will then validate each `case` and the expanded macro will look something like this:

```swift
enum Symbols: String {
case circle
case circleFill = "circle.fill"
case shareIcon = "square.and.arrow.up"
case globe

var image: Image {
Image(systemName: self.rawValue)
}
var name: String {
self.rawValue
}
#if canImport(UIKit)
func uiImage(configuration: UIImage.Configuration? = nil) -> UIImage {
UIImage(systemName: self.rawValue, withConfiguration: configuration)!
}
#else
func nsImage(accessibilityDescription: String? = nil) -> NSImage {
return NSImage(systemSymbolName: self.rawValue, accessibilityDescription: accessibilityDescription)!
}
#endif
func callAsFunction() -> String {
return self.rawValue
}
}
```

In your code you can then call a symbol:

```swift
var body: some View {
VStack {
Symbols.circleFill.image
Label("Globe", systemImage: Symbols.globe.name)
// the above can also be written as
Label("Globe", systemImage: Symbols.globe())
}
}
```

In case the provided raw value is not a valid SF Symbol, Xcode will show a compile error at the `enum-case` in question:

![explicit raw value](https://github.com/lukepistrol/SFSymbolsMacro/assets/9460130/36713049-6b14-4fc4-8a07-df86837e4704)

![inferred raw value](https://github.com/lukepistrol/SFSymbolsMacro/assets/9460130/9db30861-4b98-4e31-9c41-0b5e0a553293)

## Contribution

If you have any ideas on how to take this further I'm happy to discuss things in an issue.
