Swift extensions that make it a breeze to work with attributed strings.

---

The original way to create an attributed string in Swift:

let attributes: [String: AnyObject] = [
    NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.blue, 
    NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName:  NSNumber(value: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue)
]
let fancyString = NSAttributedString(string: "Hello World!", attributes: attributes) 

With SwiftyAttributes, you can write the same thing like this:

let fancyString = "Hello World!".withTextColor(.blue).withUnderlineStyle(.styleSingle)

You can also easily combine attributed strings using a plus sign:

let fancyString = "Hello".withFont(.systemFont(ofSize: 12)) + " World!".withFont(.systemFont(ofSize: 18))

SwiftyAttributes Has support for every attribute that can be used in iOS.
