Palette is a tool for use with TypographyKit which takes your app's color palette as defined in your TypographyKit.json or TypographyKit.plist file and generates a palette for use in Xcode Interface Builder so that developers can easily make use of the same colors regardless of whether they are being assigned programmatically or through IB.

In order to support dark mode in iOS 13 or higher, Palette now includes the option to export an asset catalog to host your dynamic colors.

Installation

Homebrew

To install using Homebrew:

brew install rwbutler/tools/palette

Usage

Color Palettes

In order to export a color palette for use in Xcode, Palette is invoked as follows:

palette --color-list <color palette name> --config-url <url> -export palette

Where the --color-list parameter specifies the name of the color palette as you wish it to appear in Interface Builder and --config-url specifies the URL to your TypographyKit.json or TypographyKit.plist file. This may either be a path to a local file or remotely-hosted file using either http or https protocol.

Asset Catalogs

In order to support dark mode in iOS 13, Palette now allows colors to be exported to asset catalogs. In order to export an asset catalog invoke palette as follows:

palette --color-list <asset catalog name> --config-url <url> -export assetCatalog --asset-catalog-url <directory to save asset catalog>

The --color-list parameter represents the name of the asset catalog to be exported and the --asset-catalog-url parameter represents the directory to which the asset catalog will be saved.
