SwiftColors

HEX color handling as an extension for UIColor. Written in Swift.

Examples

iOS

// With hash
let color: UIColor = UIColor(hexString: "#ff8942")

// Without hash, with alpha
let secondColor: UIColor = UIColor(hexString: "ff8942", alpha: 0.5)

// Short handling
let shortColorWithHex: UIColor = UIColor(hexString: "fff")

For those who don't want to type the double quotation, you can init a color from a real hex value (an Int)

// With hash  
let color: UIColor = UIColor(hex: 0xff8942)

// Without hash, with alpha
let secondColor: UIColor = UIColor(hex: 0xff8942, alpha: 0.5)

OSX

// With hash
let color: NSColor = NSColor(hexString: "#ff8942")

// Without hash, with alpha
let secondColor: NSColor = NSColor(hexString: "ff8942", alpha: 0.5)

// Short handling
let shortColorWithHex: NSColor = NSColor(hexString: "fff")

// From a real hex value (an `Int`)
// With hash  
let color: NSColor = NSColor(hex: 0xff8942)

// Without hash, with alpha
let secondColor: NSColor = NSColor(hex: 0xff8942, alpha: 0.5)
