Lorem Ipsum

Lorem Ipsum is a simple lorem ipsum generator for iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS apps. It supports generating text in different formats (words, sentences, paragraphs), miscelianous data (names, URLs, dates etc.) and placeholder images.

This project was inspired by a great static site generator Middleman. Its lorem ipsum feature was also a data source for this project.

Texts

let word: String = LoremIpsum.word // => "voluptatem"
let words: String = LoremIpsum.words(withNumber: 5) // => "est dolores voluptatem cumque itaque"
let sentence: String = LoremIpsum.sentence  // => "Facilis magni autem ut iure cum voluptas excepturi eos."
let sentences = LoremIpsum.sentences(withNumber: 2)
let paragraph = LoremIpsum.paragraph
let paragraphs = LoremIpsum.paragraphs(withNumber: 2)
let title = LoremIpsum.title // => "Et Quibusdam"

Misc. Data

let firstName = LoremIpsum.firstName // => "Dora"
let lastName = LoremIpsum.lastName // => "Glass"
let name = LoremIpsum.name // => "Tomas Beasley"
let email = LoremIpsum.email // => "[e-mail]"
let url: URL = LoremIpsum.URL // => "http://stumbleupon.com/"
let tweet: String = LoremIpsum.tweet
let date = LoremIpsum.date

Images

Lorem Ipsum supports creating placeholder images by downloading them from following supported services:

Service	Value of LIPlaceholderImageService
lorempixel.com	LIPlaceholderImageServiceLoremPixel
dummyimage.com	LIPlaceholderImageServiceDummyImage
placekitten.com	LIPlaceholderImageServicePlaceKitten

Lorem Ipsum offers methods for synchronous and asynchronous downloading of images as well as retrieving the URL for an image without downloading it. All methods work for all four supported platforms. According to the platform, UIImage or NSImage instances are created.

Synchronous Downloading

UIImage *image = [LoremIpsum placeholderImageFromService:LIPlaceholderImageServicePlaceKitten
                                                withSize:CGSizeMake(250, 250)];
                                                 
NSImage *image = [LoremIpsum placeholderImageWithSize:NSMakeSize(100, 400)];

Asynchronous Downloading

[LoremIpsum asyncPlaceholderImageFromService:LIPlaceholderImageServicePlaceKitten
                                    withSize:CGSizeMake(250, 250)
                                  completion:^(UIImage *image) {
                                      // use image here
                                  }];
                                  
[LoremIpsum asyncPlaceholderImageWithSize:NSMakeSize(100, 400)
                               completion:^(NSImage *image) {
                                   // use image here
                               }];

Image URLs

NSURL *URL = [LoremIpsum URLForPlaceholderImageFromService:LIPlaceholderImageServiceDummyImage
                                                  withSize:CGSizeMake(250, 250)];
