Colorizer

Colorizer is a tool written in Swift to auto-generate a Apple's Color Palette file (.clr file) from .txt file.

In result you can:

• use the same colors in code and storyboards
• share project colors
• be sure that you are always up to date

Installation

• Via CocoaPods

  Simply a pod 'Colorizer' to your Podfile.

  Now you can use Colorizer in Build Phases invoking $PODS_ROOT/Colorizer/bin/colorizer.

• Via Homebrew

  You can install Colorizer just by: brew install arturjaworski/formulae/colorizer

Usage

colorizer generate /path/to/colors-file.txt /path/to/output-color-palette-file.clr

This will generate a Apple's Color Palette file with all colors listed in the text file passed as argument.

Your input text file should be contain one color per line, each line being composed by the Name to give to the color, followed by :, followed by the Hex representation of the color (like rrggbb or rrggbbaa, optionally prefixed by # or 0x). Whitespaces are ignored. Almost the same as used in SwiftGen.

It means it's looks like:

Black       : #000000
White       : ffffff
Translucent : 0x111111cc
Title       : #ff0000

Tips & Tricks

1. Generate Swift code from the same .txt file by SwiftGen.

2. Share your .txt files in your project directory.

3. Integrate Colorizer with your Xcode project to regenerate .clr file on every build using Build Phases.

4. Install your color palette in your system placing it in ~/Library/Colors/.

Also you can add it as "Run Script Phase": ln -sf ${SRCROOT}/color-palette.clr ${HOME}/Library/Colors/${PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME}.clr
