Hi! Thanks a lot for maintaining this lightweight SVG library, it's clean and really easy to use. 👏

Since I needed to discriminate paths based on their id, I have made a small change which will name the layers using the original value of id.

Is that something you'd consider adding to the main project?

Let me know if you need me to make some changes to the PR.

Hey there,

I've only been messing around with the example project and noticed that for some example files (Misc -> Christmas) it takes a second or two before it opens the next screen. It feels as if the simulator is frozen.

Questions:

1. Does the reading of the data/rendering the file take place on a background thread?
2. Can I use this lib from a background thread to not block the main thread?
3. Can I download SVG data from my backend and use it with this lib or does it currently only support SVGs that are bundled within the project?

A suggestion: What do you think of making this work with a UIImageView using a category? Render the data like you're doing now, then rasterise the output into an image (maybe even cache it on disk at this point as a PNG/JPEG for quick access next time and less processing?) and display it in the imageView. Not sure what sort of performance impact this would have, but it would make working with SVGs easier imo.

Thanks!

Sample project doesn't even work.

If I add

pod 'Snowflake', git: 'https://github.com/onmyway133/Snowflake'

to my Podfile, it fails to install Pre-downloading: Snowflake from https://github.com/onmyway133/Snowflake [!] Unable to find a specification for 'Snowflake'.

If I add FantasticSnowflake, it installs but can't find the module.

Hi - this looks like a great project!

I ran into a problem when starting up the iOS playground and was wondering if you had a clue as to want was going wrong.

Thanks,

Daniel

git clone https://github.com/onmyway133/Snowflake
cd Snowflake
carthage bootstrap --platform ios --cache-builds
xcodebuild -project Snowflake.xcodeproj -target Snowflake-iOS
open -a Xcode Snowflake.xcodeproj

Navigate to Playground-iOS.playground

error: could not build Objective-C module 'Clibxml2'

I want use this framework for my project which I written in Objective C, for some reasons I cannot add it using Cocoapods as still some of libraries used are static , so I cannot use_framework in my pods file.

Which files so as to use this framework in my Project ?

While pod installing snowflake, I run into this error message:

[!] Unable to satisfy the following requirements:

• Reindeers required by Snowflake (2.0.0)

Specs satisfying the Reindeers dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

My current project is set to 8, so that might be the problem

Running carthage update provokes an error 😞:

*** Cloning Snowflake
No tagged versions found for github "onmyway133/Snowflake"

Could you tag the repo with a version like 0.1.0 ?

I appreciate the library. This is great. Thank you! I did however try to use an svg with text and the text doesn't show. Also text1 and text2 do not show up in the example.

Hey !

You have multiple build errors in your repo.

This is due to the fact that your project hierarchy is not under versioning.

To reproduce: clone this repo and try to build from scratch.

Thank you for your great work !

load this svg file like this :

      guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "sample", ofType: "svg"),
        let data = try? Data(contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: path)),
         let document = Document(data: data)
       else { return }

      let view = document.svg.view(size: CGSize(width: 100, height: 100))
      self.view.addSubview(view)

but not working.

Was running the leaks instrument on an app I'm working on and it says there's a leak in the line:

document = Snowflake.Document(fileName: someFileName)

Also tried running the leaks instrument on the example project and it is identifying leaks when rendering some shapes. For example choose Misc and then path_s2.

Not sure what to do with this. Can it be safely ignored?
