Question 1

How to add custom filters to Sharaku?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't provide guidance for adding custom filters. You'd likely need to fork the repository and modify the source code directly, as Sharaku's filter set is predefined and not easily extensible without deep changes to the library.

Question 2

Sharaku vs GPUImage for iOS image filtering?

Accepted Answer

Sharaku is better for quick integration with a ready-made UI and preset filters, while GPUImage offers more flexibility and performance for custom image processing but requires significant setup. Choose based on whether you need ease of use or full control over filters.

Question 3

How to customize the Sharaku interface colors?

Accepted Answer

Sharaku's UI is not designed for easy customization; the README doesn't mention styling options. To change appearance, you might need to edit the view controller's source files directly, which can be time-consuming and fragile.

Question 4

Is Sharaku still maintained in 2023?

Accepted Answer

The README shows it supports Swift3 and iOS 8.3+, which are outdated, and there's no indication of recent updates. Check the GitHub repository for activity, but it may not be actively maintained, posing risks for long-term projects.

Question 5

How to handle multiple images with Sharaku?

Accepted Answer

Sharaku presents a modal view controller for a single image. To edit multiple images, you'd need to dismiss and re-present the controller for each one, managing state in your delegate methods, which can be cumbersome for batch processing.

Question 6

Does Sharaku work with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Sharaku is built with UIKit, so to use it in SwiftUI, you must wrap it in a UIViewControllerRepresentable. The library doesn't offer native SwiftUI support, adding complexity for modern iOS development with SwiftUI.
