About RichTextKit

RichTextKit is a Swift SDK that lets you edit rich text in Swift & SwiftUI with a multi-platform RichTextEditor:

The RichTextEditor supports text styles (bold, italic, underline, etc.), fonts, font sizes, colors, text alignments, image attachments, and much more. It's powered by a RichTextView that bridges UITextView & NSTextView and adds additional, platform-agnostic APIs that make the two views behave more alike.

If you just want to view rich text content, you can use the RichTextViewer SwiftUI view, which wraps the editor and applies a read-only configuration to it.

Installation

RichTextKit can be installed with the Swift Package Manager:

https://github.com/danielsaidi/RichTextKit.git

Getting started

RichTextKit has a SwiftUI RichTextEditor that takes a text binding and a RichTextContext:

struct MyView: View {

    @State
    private var text = NSAttributedString(string: "Type here...")
    
    @StateObject
    var context = RichTextContext()

    var body: some View {
        RichTextEditor(text: $text, context: context) {
            // You can customize the native text view here
        }
        .focusedValue(\.richTextContext, context)
    }
}

The editor uses a RichTextCoordinator to sync changes between the editor, context, and platform-specific view. You can use the context to change font, colors, alignment etc. and observe context changes to update the UI.

If you just want to display rich text, you can use the RichTextViewer instead:

struct MyView: View {

    private var text = NSAttributedString(...)

    var body: some View {
        RichTextViewer(text: text)
    }
}

RichTextKit provides UI components, keyboard shortcuts & menu commands that can be used in a rich text editor.

For more information, please see the getting started guide.
