Functions

The following functions are available globally.

  • Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the font names of two UIFontProvider font text styles are equal.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func == (lhs: UIFontProvider?, rhs: UIFontProvider?) -> Bool

  • Sets an associated value for a given object using a given key and association policy, whether it is a value type or a class.

    Note

    It uses the objc runtime through objc_setAssociatedObject, but wraps the value if it is a struct.

    Warning

    Using associated objects should be avoided, as they are used in runtime and not in compile time, and could lead to performance issues.

    Seealso

    objc_setAssociatedObject.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func setAssociatedObject<T>(_ object: AnyObject, key: UnsafeRawPointer, value: T?, policy: objc_AssociationPolicy = .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN)

    Parameters

    object

    The source object for the association.
    value

    The value to associate with the key for object.
    key

    The key for the association.
    policy

    The policy for the association.

  • Returns the value associated with a given object for a given key, whether it is a value type or a class.

    Note

    It uses the objc runtime through objc_setAssociatedObject, but wraps the object if it is a struct.

    Warning

    Using associated objects should be avoided, as they are used in runtime and not in compile time, and could lead to performance issues.

    Seealso

    objc_getAssociatedObject.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func getAssociatedObject<T>(_ object: AnyObject, key: UnsafeRawPointer) -> T?
