Usage

Color Extensions

UIColor from Hex

import EaseKit

// Create colors from hex strings
let color1 = UIColor(hexString: "#FF5733")
let color2 = UIColor(hexString: "3498DB", alpha: 0.8)
let color3 = UIColor(hexString: "F39") // 3-character hex

// Generate random colors
let randomColor = UIColor.random

SwiftUI Color from Hex

import SwiftUI
import EaseKit

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello, World!")
            .foregroundColor(Color(hex: "#FF5733"))
            .background(Color(hex: "3498DB", alpha: 0.5))
    }
}

UIView Extensions

Anchoring Views

import EaseKit

let myView = UIView()
parentView.addSubview(myView)

// Anchor to specific edges with padding
myView.anchorView(
    top: parentView.topAnchor,
    leading: parentView.leadingAnchor,
    trailing: parentView.trailingAnchor,
    paddingTop: 20,
    paddingLeft: 16,
    paddingRight: 16
)

Fill Superview

let backgroundView = UIView()
parentView.addSubview(backgroundView)
backgroundView.fillSuperView()

Set Dimensions

let button = UIButton()
button.setDimension(width: 200, height: 50)

Centering Views

let logoView = UIImageView()
parentView.addSubview(logoView)

// Center in any view
logoView.center(in: parentView)

// Center in immediate superview
logoView.centerInsideParent()

// Center only horizontally or vertically
logoView.centerX(inView: parentView)
logoView.centerY(inView: parentView)

Render View as Image

let myView = UIView()
// ... configure your view ...

let image = myView.asImage()
// Use the image (save, share, etc.)
