Question 1

How to use Transformer for Swift attributed strings?

Accepted Answer

Visit the online app, visually format your text, and it will generate Swift code for NSAttributedString that you can copy into your Xcode project. For local use, run 'npm start' after installing dependencies.

Question 2

Transformer or manual coding for NSAttributedString – which is faster?

Accepted Answer

Transformer speeds up prototyping and reduces errors with its visual editor, but manual coding might be better for complex, dynamic scenarios where fine-grained control is needed.

Question 3

Can Transformer handle custom fonts in iOS development?

Accepted Answer

Not yet – custom font support is listed as a to-do feature in the README. You'll need to manually integrate fonts until this is implemented.

Question 4

How to run Transformer offline on my computer?

Accepted Answer

Clone the GitHub repository, run 'npm install' to install dependencies, then 'npm start' to launch a local server at localhost:3000 for offline access.

Question 5

Is Transformer compatible with SwiftUI or only UIKit?

Accepted Answer

Transformer generates NSAttributedString code for UIKit/AppKit. For SwiftUI, you may need to bridge the code using interoperability layers like NSMutableAttributedString.

Question 6

What text formatting options does Transformer currently support?

Accepted Answer

It supports basic attributes like fonts, colors, and sizes, but the README notes plans to add more formats, so advanced styling might be limited.
