I have implemented and UIImageView inside a subview on a UITableViewCell. The InitialsImage didn't show up until I scrolled and cell was reused. Any ideas? Thank you!

All its working now with new commit. Thanks

Hi,

With Swift 4 we have a error:

Value of type 'UIImageView' has no member 'setImageForName'

Thanks a lot!

I forgot to do this in #19. Currently, the latest tag on the repo is 0.7.0, which doesn't include the SPM manifest—so SPM doesn't actually work if you try to specify a version.

Even though there are no code changes, I'd like to request an 0.8.0 tag for SPM support—this single commit would bump the Podspec to match across the Pod and SPM.

With this PR, a given name will always get the same background color. This makes sense for my use case (using this thing for a hobby project atm, thanks for writing and publishing it!) and I imagine for many others.

gradient is an optional boolean parameter. The colors for gradient can be generated automatically as offsets for the backgroundColor.

Example randomImage.setImageForName(string: "Michael Bluth", backgroundColor: .cyan, circular: true, textAttributes: nil, gradient: true)

Or with a random color: randomImage.setImageForName(string: "Michael Bluth", circular: true, textAttributes: nil, gradient: true)

Another version of the setImageForName has an optional tuple named gradientColors. Thus it's possible to specify two explicit colors for the gradient.

Example randomImage.setImageForName(string: "Michael Bluth", gradientColors: (top: .magenta, bottom: .purple), circular: true, textAttributes: nil)

Previously if non letter characters, such as John (Doe), were in the string it would extract the incorrect initials.

Here are before and after tests: Passed String: John Old: J New: J Passed String: John Doe Old: JD New: JD Passed String: *** John Doe *** Old: ** New: JD Passed String: John (Doe) Old: J( New: JD Passed String: John Ron Long (Lucky) Doe Old: JD New: JD Passed String: &(#($)%))@^^%$ Old: & New:

Everything works fine for "John do" but only "John" give nothing.

var nameComponents = string.uppercased().components(separatedBy: CharacterSet.letters.inverted)

nameComponents is nil with only "John". I don't know if it's expected but would be nice to get only a J in this case

Hi, first of all, thank you for this library :)

Currently the background color doesn't get updated if the user switches between light and dark mode. This is because of using cgColor, which doesn't automatically update.
