PrintingKit helps you print PDF documents, images, etc. in Swift and SwiftUI.
With PrintingKit, you just have to create a Printer instance or use Printer.shared, then use it to print any of the supported PrintItem types with a single line of code.
PrintingKit works on both iOS and macOS.
PrintingKit can be installed with the Swift Package Manager:
https://github.com/danielsaidi/PrintingKit.git
If you prefer to not have external dependencies, you can also just copy the source code into your app.
PrintingKit currently supports the following PrintItem types:
.attributedString(_:configuration:)- an attributed string..imageData(_:)- JPG or PNG data..imageFile(at:)- a JPG or PNG file at a certain URL..pdfData(_:)- PDF document data..pdfFile(at:)- a PDF document file at a certain URL..string(_:configuration:)- a plain string..view(_:withScale:)- any SwiftUI view.
To print any of the supported items, just use a Printer instance, or Printer.shared:
struct MyView: View {
let printer = Printer()
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Print PDF") {
try? printer.print(.pdf(at: anyUrl))
}
Button("Print view") {
try? printer.print(image)
}
Button("Print view without try") {
printer.printInTask(image)
}
}
}
}For more information, see the getting started.
The online documentation has more information, code examples, etc.
The demo app lets you explore the library on iOS and macOS. To try it out, just open and run the Demo project.
