Would it be possible to expand the search for usernames to include ones that have periods in them, such as my name "@alex.figueroa"? It is currently being highlighted only until the period. (It seems Github does this with their markdown too 😅)

Hi I'm using the storyboard.

I got an error like this.

file:///Users/test_ios9/test/Base.lproj/Main.storyboard: error: IB Designables: Failed to render and update auto layout status for FeedVC (EIx-SL-E27): dlopen(ActiveLabel.framework, 1): Symbol not found: __TMPVs19DictionaryGenerator Referenced from: ActiveLabel.framework Expected in: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Overlays/../../../../../../Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/iphonesimulator/libswiftCore.dylib in ActiveLabel.framework

Anyone know about this problem?

My Xcode version is 8 and I had convert to swift 2.3.

Handle functions are not working until scrolling the tableview. While scrolling handle functions are working for a moment. It's hard to describe but, cell is on Storyboard. It has single UILabel and constraints, using system-regular font and it's multiline.

Do you know anything about this issue?

By the way, it is working on clean UITableView. Unfortunately it is not possible to start making the tableview from the beginning.

Than you in advance.

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "commonCommentCell", for: indexPath) as! CommonCommentTableViewCell
        cell.getData(userPhotoUrl: self.commentList[indexPath.section].userThumbnailUrl!, userName: self.commentList[indexPath.section].userName!, message: self.commentList[indexPath.section].content!, date: self.commentList[indexPath.section].crtm!)
        cell.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
        cell.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0
        cell.layoutMargins.top = 15
        /*cell.optionsButton.accessibilityHint = String(describing: self.commentList[indexPath.section].id!)
        cell.optionsButton.accessibilityLabel = String(describing: self.commentList[indexPath.section].isOwner!)
        cell.optionsButton.accessibilityValue = "\(indexPath.section)"
        cell.optionsButton.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
        let optionButtonTapGesture : UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(openOptions(_:)))
        cell.optionsButton.addGestureRecognizer(optionButtonTapGesture)
        */
        //cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.none
        
        cell.messageLabel.enabledTypes = [.mention, .hashtag]
        cell.messageLabel.hashtagColor = UIColor(r: 78, g: 194, b: 205)
        cell.messageLabel.mentionColor = UIColor(r: 78, g: 194, b: 205)
        
        cell.messageLabel.handleMentionTap { (str) in
            print("NOT WORKING")
        }
        
        cell.messageLabel.handleURLTap { (str) in
            print("NOT WORKING")
        }
        
        return cell
    }

its not working do you know why it is happening ?

Hi, I successfully modified the detection String for my needs to match @userName:userId;

Where would I best modify the lib to cutoff :userId; during rendering, but keep the original object intact? Optionally also just cutting down to username would be fine ^^

Hello! I use ActiveLabel in IB and I get this error

 IB Designables: Failed to render and update auto layout status for RegisterMainViewController (Ovd-Ud-K0B): dlopen(ActiveLabel.framework, 1): no suitable image found.  Did find:
	ActiveLabel.framework: required code signature missing for 'ActiveLabel.framework'

Allows full customization of customTap by opening up the NSAttributedString configuration in a callback

I, personally, needed this to bold the username at the start of a comment label and this seemed like the best, easiest, and most flexible solution

Somewhat helps #97 and #118

Example below simply sets the username at the beginning of the label to a bold system font of size 14

let customType = ActiveType.custom(pattern: "^\(username)\\b")
lblComment.enabledTypes = [.mention, .hashtag, .url, customType]

lblComment.configureLinkAttribute = { (type, attributes, isSelected) in
    var atts = attributes
    switch type {
    case .custom:
        atts[NSFontAttributeName] = isSelected ? UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(16) : UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(14)
    default: ()
    }

    return atts
}

lblComment.handleCustomTap(for: customType) { element in
    print("Custom type tapped: \(element)")
}

Thank you guys! It's the best what I've seen! So I'm not sure but it seems like handles do not work in 0.3.7. I downloaded and compiled source code folder 0.3.7 and 0.3.6. In 0.3.6 handleMentionTap, handleHashtagTap, handleURLTap working as expected. In 0.3.7 they don't work.

:tophat: What? Why?

As pointed out in #27 , when using ActiveLabel inside a cell, the whole customisation process that is behind any change on it, makes the table to drop a lot of frames. The customisation ActiveLabel is doing on every change is expensive, so the intention is to try to reduce the cost of every change.

:warning: Disclaimer: This PR has a huge refactor, so has to be treated carefully before merging

Things covered:

• Changed towards a tableView Demo This change may not be the better option as a the example project, so considering changing it back to the current example.. 🤔

  • [x] Revert to previous Example

• Rethought way to extract elements from the label text: Previously the way ActiveLabel was searching for ActiveElements was by iterating through all the words the label had, and then passing a Regex individually to each one of them to see if they were ActiveElements or not. Now the Regex Parser is passing the Regex to the whole text at once. And extracting elements based in specific Regex for each ActiveType

  • [x] Added RegexParser whose only responsibility is to manage Regex related things
  • [x] Added ActiveBuilder. Taking advantage of the RegexParser creates ActiveElements
  • [x] Removed top level functions that were passing a regex to each work

• Changed Way to Test Previously, the way ActiveElement was checking things was by checking if an String was satisfying the requirements to be an specific ActiveType. This way of testing has been broken with the refactor, so the new way the tests are working now is by passing a text to an ActiveLabel and expect that it to contain X amount of active elements, and check the string and type of it.

  • [x] Change Tests
  • [x] Add more Tests

• Perform only necessary things when changing variables At the moment, each time the user sets a property (overridden & custom) we are executing updateTextStorage(). This is expensive, and could be a bottleneck.

  • [x] Avoid calling updateTextStorage() if possible when changing a prop

• Regex is now detecting # and @ in the middle of words That should not occur :no_entry:

  • [x] Avoid detecting # and @ in the middle of words ( Closes #9 )

• Move urlDetector to use regex: I've been looking for a correct URL Regex, and I've came across with this page: https://mathiasbynens.be/demo/url-regex. The option I've chosen is the one purposed by @krijnhoetmer, and I've tweaked it a bit

  • [x] Use regex for the urlDetector

  :warning: Dropped support for detecting urls like google.com. Maintaining support for old school www.google.com

📈 DATA

This table reflects the necessary time to customise a cell changing text and textAlignment when calling cellForRow:

| Necessary time (s) | Before | After | | :-: | :-: | --- | | First iteration | 0.015 - 0.020 | 0.002 - 0.003 | | Going async | 0.015 - 0.020 | 0.0005 - 0.0007 |

In some cases 10x less time :scream:

:open_mouth: IMPORTANT:

Even that this PR reduces the label reuse cost, it is not completely solving the issue

Hi Johannes, thanks for ActiveLabel - nice work!

I notice that when using ActiveLabel in a CollectionView and scrolling up or down, I sometimes get the following error:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: 'NSMutableRLEArray objectAtIndex:effectiveRange:: Out of bounds'

This has also been documented in another UILabel github lib (Obj-C), here:

https://github.com/SebastienThiebaud/STTweetLabel/issues/55

The bug is hard to reproduce, but it has happened multiple times. It doesn't appear to be associated with the speed of scrolling or anything else I can reproduce, but as I mentioned, it has happened multiple times now, and it does seem related to ActiveLabel. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hello it's me again :)

I noticed some unwanted behavior when integrating ActiveLabel in UICollectionViewCell instances. There were 2 problems:

• Tapping on a URL (or mention or hashtag) would call urlTapHandler, but would immediately trigger the - collectionView:didSelectItemAtIndexPath: delegate method - which can cause unwanted side effects - such as pushing a new ViewController etc.
• Starting touches on a URL (or mention or hashtag), then scrolling the collection view up / down would not stop urlTapHandler from firing when the touches end (because the touch is always on the label while scrolling), even when UICollectionView has canCancelContentTouches turned on. This is very unpleasant and different from how - say - UIButton works in a UICollectionViewCell.

I know the changes that caused these are related to #3 - To be fair same problems demonstrated in the video can also occur while using a UIButton in a TableView/CollectionView as well - when canCancelContentTouches and delaysContentTouches are set incorrectly.

I chose to solve these problems by overriding more UIGestureRecognizerDelegate methods - and have our UILongPressGestureRecognizer fail when the user scrolls.

I'm working on a single case scenario with ActiveLabel, so I'm not 100% sure (but pretty sure) if this will not break things for anyone.

Please just let me know if you don't want to merge this, so I can switch to using my own fork in the project.

Thank you

I am able to tap on tags and mention but I also want a function to tap on label part except tags and mentions or whatever other detections are there. Is it possible? So, make all label clickable with different kind of taps.

I'm attempting to add padding to the label to present the run off as shown below. Here's how I'm calling the view within SwiftUI

SUILabel(text: tweet.text, preferredMaxLayoutWidth : UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 50)
                        .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true)

Here's the code I'm using,

struct SUILabel: UIViewRepresentable {
    @Environment(\.openURL) var openURL

    let text: String

    var preferredMaxLayoutWidth: CGFloat = UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 50
    func makeUIView(context: UIViewRepresentableContext<SUILabel>) -> UILabel {
        let label = ActiveLabel()
        label.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 25)
        label.numberOfLines = 10
        label.enabledTypes = [.mention, .hashtag, .url]
        label.hashtagColor = .systemBlue
        label.mentionColor = .systemBlue
        label.URLColor = .systemBlue
        label.text = text
        label.textColor = UITraitCollection().userInterfaceStyle == .light ? .black : .white
        label.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = UIScreen.main.bounds.width
        label.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill

        // MARK: - handle types

        label.handleHashtagTap { hashtag in
            print("Success. You just tapped the \(hashtag) hashtag")
            openURL(URL(string: "https://twitter.com/hashtag/\(hashtag)")!)
        }
        label.handleURLTap { url in
            openURL(url)
        }
        label.handleMentionTap { handle in
            openURL(URL(string: "https://twitter.com/\(handle)")!)
        }
        return label
    }


    func updateUIView(_ uiView: UILabel, context: UIViewRepresentableContext<SUILabel>) { }
}

lab.configureLinkAttribute = { type, attributes, isSelected in var atts = attributes switch type { case privacyType, agreementType: atts[NSAttributedString.Key.font] = isSelected ? kxFontMedium(12) : kxFont(12) default: break } return atts } isSelected == true时设置为粗体字， isSelected == false时设置为常规体， 但是点击之后就全部变成常规体了，粗体设置无效

if the the string has a username without space mention is not working, I attach a screenshot for reference. I want @niravtest also clickable like @hitman_007 shown in the screenshot.
