TextKit及应用

在iOS开发中我们常常使用UIKit的UITextView、UITextField、UILabel来显示文字。它们底层都是基于一个叫做TextKit的强大引擎。通过TextKit，我们可以方便地修改文字的样式和排版，而不需要直接操作复杂的Core Text。

1.什么是TextKit

在iOS7中，苹果引入了Text Kit——一个快速而又现代化的文字排版和渲染引擎。Text Kit在UIKit framework中的定义了一些类和相关协议，它最主要的作用就是为程序提供文字排版和渲染的功能。通过Text Kit可以对文字进行存储(store)、布局(lay out)，以及用最精细的排版方式(例如文字间距、换行和对齐等)来显示文本内容。
苹果引入Text Kit的目的并非要取代已有的Core Text，Core Text的主要作用也是用于文字的排版和渲染中，它是一种先进而又处于底层技术，如果我们需要将文本内容直接渲染到图形上下文(Graphics context)时，从性能和易用性来考虑，最佳方案就是使用Core Text。而如果我们直接利用苹果提供的一些控件(例如UITextView、UILabel和UITextField等)对文字进行排版，无疑就是借助于UIkit framework中Text Kit提供的API。

2.TextKit的作用

两个最重要的功能：

文字排版
文字渲染

3.TextKit中的类

要了解TextKit需要先了解其包含的几个类：

1.Text Storage（NSTextStorage）：NSMutableAttributedString的子类，保存需要显示的文字和属性。
2.TextContainer（NSTextContainer）:确定文字的布局区域。一般为矩形，但是可以创建NSTextContainer的子类来创建其它如圆形、五边形或不规则图形等。
3.Layout Manager（NSLayoutManager）:负责根据NSTextContainer的布局信息渲染NSStorage中的文字。
4.TextView一般为UITextView等

TextKit是典型的MVC（model-view-controller ）范例：

Controller: NSLayoutManager。负责将NSTextStorage中的字符转换为文字符号，根据NSTextContainer对文字符号进行布局并显示到View中
Model: NSTextStorage和NSTextContainer。前者保存有文字和对应的字体、颜色、大小等属性。后者保存了文字的绘制区域。
View :UITextView或其它UIView的子类

一般情况下，一个NSTextStorage、NSLayoutManager、NSTextContainer为一一对应关系：

也可能有多个NSTextContainer：

或者是多个NSLayoutManager：

实际运用Demo1：高亮显示

效果：

新建HYHighlightTextStorage类，继承自NSTextStorage
NSTextStorage的子类需要我们自己存储attributed string，在HYHighlightTextStorage中声明变量

NSMutableAttributedString *_mutableAttributedString;

并且重写以下4个抽象方法：

 - (NSString *)string;- (NSDictionary *)attributesAtIndex:(NSUInteger)location effectiveRange:(NSRangePointer)range;- (void)replaceCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range withString:(NSString *)str;- (void)setAttributes:(NSDictionary *)attrs range:(NSRange)range;

修改text storage的内容时，需要3个步骤：
（1）首先调用beginEditing方法。
（2）通过调用 replaceCharactersInRange:withString: 或 setAttributes:range: 改变字符或属性
（3）修改完成后调用endEditing，此时会调用代理方法 textStorage:willProcessEditing:range:changeInLength: 以及processEditing方法。

完整代码：
HYHighlightTextStorage.h

@interface HYHighlightTextStorage : NSTextStorage@end

HYHighlightTextStorage.m

#import "HYHighlightTextStorage.h"@implementation HYHighlightTextStorage{NSMutableAttributedString *_mutableAttributedString;NSRegularExpression *_expression;
}-(instancetype)init{if (self = [super init]) {_mutableAttributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] init];_expression = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(\\*\\w+(\\s*\\w+)*\\s*\\*)" options:0 error:NULL];}return self;
}- (NSString *)string{return _mutableAttributedString.string;
}- (NSDictionary<NSString *,id> *)attributesAtIndex:(NSUInteger)location effectiveRange:(NSRangePointer)range {return [_mutableAttributedString attributesAtIndex:location effectiveRange:range];
}- (void)replaceCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range withString:(NSString *)str {[self beginEditing];[_mutableAttributedString replaceCharactersInRange:range withString:str];[self edited:NSTextStorageEditedCharacters range:range changeInLength:(NSInteger)str.length - (NSInteger)range.length];[self endEditing];
}- (void)setAttributes:(NSDictionary<NSString *,id> *)attrs range:(NSRange)range {[self beginEditing];[_mutableAttributedString setAttributes:attrs range:range];[self edited:NSTextStorageEditedAttributes range:range changeInLength:0];[self endEditing];
}- (void)processEditing {[super processEditing];//去除当前段落的颜色属性NSRange paragaphRange = [self.string paragraphRangeForRange: self.editedRange];[self removeAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName range:paragaphRange];//根据正则匹配，添加新属性[_expression enumerateMatchesInString:self.string options:NSMatchingReportProgress range:paragaphRange usingBlock:^(NSTextCheckingResult *result, NSMatchingFlags flags, BOOL *stop) {[self addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:result.range];}];
}

HYHighlightViewController.m

#import "HYHighlightViewController.h"
#import "HYHighlightTextStorage.h"@interface HYHighlightViewController ()@property (nonatomic, strong) UITextView *textView;
@property (nonatomic, strong) HYHighlightTextStorage *textStorage;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSTextContainer *textContainer;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSLayoutManager *layoutManager;@end@implementation HYHighlightViewController- (void)viewDidLoad {[super viewDidLoad];_textContainer = [[NSTextContainer alloc] init];_layoutManager = [[NSLayoutManager alloc] init];_textStorage = [[HYHighlightTextStorage alloc] init];[_textStorage addLayoutManager:_layoutManager];[_layoutManager addTextContainer:_textContainer];_textView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 100, self.view.bounds.size.width-20, 300) textContainer:_textContainer];_textView.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];[self.view addSubview:_textView];[_textStorage replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0) withString:@"星号引起来的字符都会被*高亮*，*hello world* 星号引起来的字符都会"];
}

实际运用Demo2：文本元素与非文本元素混排

效果：

通过设置NSTextContainer的exclusionPaths属性，可以设置禁止填充文字的区域。此属性为NSArray数组，包含的是一组UIBezierPath数据，表示所有排除路径。如图：

完整代码：

#import "HYExclusionViewController.h"@interface HYExclusionViewController ()@property (nonatomic, strong) UITextView *textView;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSTextStorage *textStorage;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSTextContainer *textContainer;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSLayoutManager *layoutManager;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIView *exclusionView;@end@implementation HYExclusionViewController- (void)viewDidLoad {[super viewDidLoad];_textContainer = [[NSTextContainer alloc] init];_layoutManager = [[NSLayoutManager alloc] init];_textStorage   = [[NSTextStorage alloc] init];[_textStorage addLayoutManager:_layoutManager];[_layoutManager addTextContainer:_textContainer];_textView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero textContainer:_textContainer];_textView.frame = CGRectMake(10, 100, self.view.bounds.size.width-20, 300);_textView.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];[self.view addSubview:_textView];NSString *testString = @"a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a";[_textStorage replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0) withString:testString];[self setupExclusion];
}-(void)setupExclusion{//红圆圈_exclusionView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(140, 40, 120, 120)];_exclusionView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];_exclusionView.layer.cornerRadius = 60;[self.textView addSubview:_exclusionView];CGRect originalPathRect = self.exclusionView.frame;CGFloat circle_X = originalPathRect.origin.x - self.textView.textContainerInset.left;CGFloat circle_Y = originalPathRect.origin.y - self.textView.textContainerInset.top;CGFloat circle_W = originalPathRect.size.width;CGFloat circle_H = originalPathRect.size.height;CGRect circleRect = CGRectMake(circle_X, circle_Y, circle_W, circle_H);UIBezierPath *exclusionCirclePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect:circleRect];_textContainer.exclusionPaths = @[exclusionCirclePath];
}

实际运用Demo3：不规则的显示区域

效果：

NSTextContainer确定了文字的布局区域，默认是矩形，新建HYCustomTextContainer继承自NSTextContainer，重写NSTextContainer的-(CGRect)lineFragmentRectForProposedRect: atIndex: writingDirection: remainingRect:方法，返回每一行文字的位置个大小，即可将显示区域修改成需要的形状，例如圆形。

#import "HYCustomTextContainer.h"@implementation HYCustomTextContainer-(CGRect)lineFragmentRectForProposedRect:(CGRect)proposedRect atIndex:(NSUInteger)characterIndex writingDirection:(NSWritingDirection)baseWritingDirection remainingRect:(CGRect *)remainingRect{[super lineFragmentRectForProposedRect:proposedRectatIndex:characterIndexwritingDirection:baseWritingDirectionremainingRect:remainingRect];CGSize size = [self size];//圆半径CGFloat radius = fmin(size.width, size.height) * 0.5;CGFloat y = proposedRect.origin.y;CGFloat height = proposedRect.size.height;CGFloat width = 0;if (proposedRect.origin.y == 0) {width = 40.0;}else if(proposedRect.origin.y <= 2*radius){width = 2 * sqrt(powf(radius,2.0) - powf(fabs(y-radius), 2.0));}CGFloat x = radius - width/2.0;return CGRectMake(x, y, width, height);
}@end

实际运用Demo4：可点击字符的UILabel

效果：

新建HYLabel继承自UILabel
在初始化方法中初始化内部的NSTextStorage、NSLayoutManager、NSTextContainer。
重写drawTextInRect:方法，让我们自己的NSTextContainer去替代默认的展示控件。
重写touchesBegan:withEvent:方法，进行点击判断。

完整代码HYLabel.m代码：

#import "HYLabel.h"@interface HYLabel()@property (nonatomic, strong) NSTextStorage *textStorage;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSLayoutManager *layoutManager;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSTextContainer *textContainer;@end@implementation HYLabel-(void)setText:(NSString *)text{[super setText:text];[self setupTextSystem];[self.textStorage replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0) withString:text];
}-(void)setAttributedText:(NSAttributedString *)attributedText{[super setAttributedText:attributedText];[self setupTextSystem];[self.textStorage replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0) withAttributedString:attributedText];
}-(instancetype)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame{if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {self.userInteractionEnabled = YES;[self setupTextSystem];}return self;
}-(void)setupTextSystem{_textStorage = [[NSTextStorage alloc] init];_layoutManager = [[NSLayoutManager alloc] init];_textContainer = [[NSTextContainer alloc] init];[_textStorage addLayoutManager:_layoutManager];[_layoutManager addTextContainer:_textContainer];
}-(void)drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect{NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0, self.textStorage.length);[self.layoutManager drawBackgroundForGlyphRange:range atPoint:CGPointMake(0, 0)];[self.layoutManager drawGlyphsForGlyphRange:range atPoint:CGPointMake(0, 0)];
}-(void)layoutSubviews{[super layoutSubviews];self.textContainer.size = self.bounds.size;
}-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet<UITouch *> *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{UITouch *touch = touches.anyObject;CGPoint point = [touch locationInView:self];//获取点击的字的indexNSUInteger glyphIndex = [self.layoutManager glyphIndexForPoint:point inTextContainer:self.textContainer];//获取字的rectCGRect glyphRect = [self.layoutManager boundingRectForGlyphRange:NSMakeRange(glyphIndex, 1) inTextContainer:self.textContainer];//最后判断点击位置是否在该字的显示范围内if(CGRectContainsPoint(glyphRect, point)){NSUInteger charaterIndex = [self.layoutManager characterIndexForGlyphAtIndex:glyphIndex];unichar charater = [[self.textStorage string] characterAtIndex:charaterIndex];if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(didClickCharater:)]) {[self.delegate didClickCharater:charater];}}
}@end
