STTweetLabel

A custom UILabel view controller for iOS with certain words tappable like Twitter (#Hashtag, @People and http://www.link.com/page)

Documentation

You need only 2 files:

• STTweetLabel.h
• STTweetLabel.m

You can change the fonts and colors for the different words (#Hashtag/@People AND http://link.com) via the STTweetLabel attributes.

Demo

Build and run the project STTweetLabelExample in Xcode to see STTweetLabel in action.

Example Usage

    STTweetLabel *tweetLabel = [[STTweetLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20.0, 60.0, 280.0, 200.0)];
    
    [tweetLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:17.0]];
    [tweetLabel setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
    [tweetLabel setDelegate:self];
    [tweetLabel setText:@"Hi. This is a new tool for @you! Developed by->@SebThiebaud for #iPhone #ObjC... ;-) My GitHub page: https://t.co/pQXDoiYA"];
    [self.view addSubview:tweetLabel];

When an user will click on a tappable word, the delegate methods

- (void)twitterAccountClicked:(NSString *)link;
- (void)twitterHashtagClicked:(NSString *)link;
- (void)websiteClicked:(NSString *)link;

will be called. The word clicked by the user is the parameter (NSString *)link.
