HexColors is an extension for UIColor and NSColor to support for creating colors from a hex string like #FF0088 or 8844FF and back to a String. Completely rewritten in Swift 3!

If you want to use this in Objective-C jump to the 4.X version tag.

If you want to use this in Swift < 3.2 use the 5.X version tag.

# Examples

How to use HexColors in the different systems.

## iOS / watchOS / tvOS

### Generating UIColors

``` swift

let colorWithHex = UIColor("#ff8942")

let colorWithoutHex = UIColor("ff8942")

let colorWithHexAndAlhpa = UIColor("#ff8942DF")

let colorWithoutHexAndAlhpa = UIColor("ff8942DF")

let shortColorWithHex = UIColor("#fff")

let shortColorWithoutHex = UIColor("fff")

let shortColorWithHexAndAlpha = UIColor("#FFFD")

let shortColorWithoutHexAndAlpha = UIColor("#FFFD")

```

### Generating Hex Strings from UIColor

``` swift

let colorWithHex = UIColor("#ff8942")

let stringFromColor = colorWithHex.hex

```

## macOS

### Generating NSColor

``` swift

let colorWithHex = NSColor("#ff8942")

let colorWithoutHex = NSColor("ff8942")

let colorWithHexAndAlhpa = NSColor("#ff8942DF")

let colorWithoutHexAndAlhpa = NSColor("ff8942DF")

let shortColorWithHex = NSColor("#fff")

let shortColorWithoutHex = NSColor("fff")

let shortColorWithHexAndAlpha = NSColor("#FFFD")

let shortColorWithoutHexAndAlpha = NSColor("#FFFD")

```

### Generating Hex Strings from NSColor

``` swift

let colorWithHex = NSColor("#ff8942")

let stringFromColor = colorWithHex.hex

```

# Installation

# Credits

HexColors was created by [Marius Landwehr](https://github.com/mRs-) because of the pain to create Colors from a API (mostly hex) converting to a UI/NSColor.
