I'm working on integrating the new format panel shown in the WWDC24 session "What's New in UIKit" under the Text Improvements section. So far, I've implemented long-press functionality on a text passage, allowing the editing options to appear. From there, you can go to Format > More..., which successfully opens the new format panel.
However, I would also like to add a button to programmatically display this format panel—similar to how the Apple Notes app has a button in the keyboard toolbar to open it.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Here's my current code for the text editor (I've enabled text formatting by setting allowsEditingTextAttributes to true):
struct TextEditorView: UIViewRepresentable {
@Binding var text: String
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UITextView {
let textEditorView = UITextView()
textEditorView.delegate = context.coordinator
textEditorView.allowsEditingTextAttributes = true
return textEditorView
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: UITextView, context: Context) {
uiView.text = text
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, UITextViewDelegate {
var parent: TextEditorView
init(_ uiTextView: TextEditorView) {
self.parent = uiTextView
}
func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
self.parent.text = textView.text
}
}
}
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
