Swift package for accessing SF Symbols in a type safe manner.

Features

• 💫 Contains all SF Symbols - 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0.
• 🏠 Supports all platforms: 📱 iOS, 💻 macOS, 📺 tvOS, ⌚️ watchOS.
• 💯 100% Test Coverage, every SF Symbol String extension is tested.
• 👷 Easy to maintain for future SF Symbol releases (see Maintenance section).
• ✅ Availability checks i.e. @available(iOS 15.0, macOS 12.0, tvOS 15.0, watchOS 8.0, *).

Usage

import Symbols
// Swift >= 5.5 
UIImage(systemName: .Symbols.magazineFill) // magazine.fill
NSImage(systemSymbolName: .Symbols.magazineFill, accessibilityDescription: nil) // magazine.fill
// Swift < 5.5
UIImage(systemName: String.Symbols.magazine) // magazine.fill
NSImage(systemSymbolName: String.Symbols.magazine, accessibilityDescription: nil) // magazine.fill
// Leading numbers prefixed with underscore

Aren't there already packages like this?

Yep! But for one reason or another, they didn't fulfil my needs (as of 2021/11/05).

• lennet/Symbols - No updates since June 2019
• piknotech/SFSafeSymbols - Missing support for SF Symbols 3 (issue since 8 June 2021)
• abadikaka/SFSymbolsFinder - Feature rich package but I wanted something lean
• jollyjinx/SFSymbolEnum - Swift package index shows build breaking with iOS
• justMaku/Symbolic - No updates since June 2019
• omeasraf/SFIcons - Swift package index shows build breaking with iOS

TODO

• Show symbol in code completion
