In my SwiftUI project, I am trying to convert HTML to Text.

Text("<h1>Test</h1><p >Test</p><br/><span>Test</span><ul><li>item1</li><li>item2</li></ul")
          .font(.body)
          .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
          .padding(.bottom, 16)

Is there a way to make it happen ?

Thank you

Accepted Answer

As for now, there's no support for rendering HTML in SwiftUI.

You may need to wrap WKWebView or UILabel with NSAttributedString into UIViewRepresentable.

You can send a feature request using Apple's Feedback Assistant.

One another option would be converting NSAttributedString to String and you can use SwiftUI Text. (detailStr)

String+Extension

extension String {
    func htmlToString() -> String {
        return  try! NSAttributedString(data: self.data(using: .utf8)!,
                                        options: [.documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html],
                                        documentAttributes: nil).string
    }
}

SwiftUI

 Text(str.htmlToString())
