How to use an NSAttributedString with a ScrollView in SwiftUI?

问题

I've been able to render NSAttributedStrings via UIViewRepresentable which works great until I wrap the view in a ScrollView.

When placed inside the ScrollView, the NSAttributedString view stops rendering.

I've tried some other methods that replace an NSAttributedString with adding multiple Text() views together to get formatting which works inside the ScrollView and supports italics and monospace font. Unfortunately this doesn't work for links inside text blocks, which means I still need an NSAttributedString.

import SwiftUI

struct TextWithAttributedString: UIViewRepresentable {

    var attributedString: NSAttributedString

    init(_ attributedString: NSAttributedString) {
        self.attributedString = attributedString
    }

    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UITextView {
        let textView = UITextView(frame: .zero)
        textView.attributedText = self.attributedString
        textView.isEditable = false
        return textView
    }

    func updateUIView(_ textView: UITextView, context: Context) {
        textView.attributedText = self.attributedString
    }
}


let exampleText = """
Fugiat id blanditiis et est culpa voluptas. Vivamus aliquet enim eu blandit blandit. Sit eget praesentium maxime sit molestiae et alias aut.
"""

struct NSAttributedStringView: View {
    var body: some View {
// Note: when uncommented, the view breaks
//    ScrollView {
        TextWithAttributedString(NSAttributedString(string: exampleText))
//    }
    }
}

struct NSAttributedStringView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        NSAttributedStringView()
            .previewLayout(.sizeThatFits)
    }
}

Edit: I tried using the wrapped UITextView with the text property set instead of the attributeText property, but this also fails to render in the ScrollView, so the issue seems to be the UITextView, not the NSAttributedString.

So the question is, how do we get the UITextView to work in a ScrollView?

回答1:

The reason is that SwiftUI ScrollView requires defined content size, but used UITextView is itself a UIScrollView and detects content based on available space in parent view. Thus it happens cycle of undefined sizes.

Here is a simplified demo of possible approach how to solve this. The idea is to calculate content size of UITextView and pass it to SwiftUI...

struct TextWithAttributedString: UIViewRepresentable {
    @Binding var height: CGFloat
    var attributedString: NSAttributedString

    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UITextView {
        let textView = UITextView(frame: .zero)
        textView.isEditable = false
        return textView
    }

    func updateUIView(_ textView: UITextView, context: Context) {
        textView.attributedText = self.attributedString

        // calculate height based on main screen, but this might be 
        // improved for more generic cases
        DispatchQueue.main.async { // << fixed 
            height = textView.sizeThatFits(UIScreen.main.bounds.size).height
        }
    }
}


struct NSAttributedStringView: View {
    @State private var textHeight: CGFloat = .zero
    var body: some View {
        ScrollView {
            TextWithAttributedString(height: $textHeight, attributedString: NSAttributedString(string: exampleText))
                .frame(height: textHeight) // << specify height explicitly !
        }
    }
}

回答2:

If you want to use Asperi's TextWithAttributedString as a child view, replace

height = textView.sizeThatFits(UIScreen.main.bounds.size).height

DispatchQueue.main.async {
    height = textView.sizeThatFits(textView.visibleSize).height
}
