To use your new color in your project, adding a color extension with the custom color’s name makes your life easier. Example below…

extension Color {
    static let myAwesomeClr = Color("theNameOfMyColorInAssets")
}

Then you can do things like…

Color(.myAwesomeClr)

If you want to include that color in a Package, you need to..

• Declare your extension public (like everything in a Package)
• Create a UIColor and cast that as a Color. (This took me a while to figure out which is why I am posting this.) See below…

public extension Color {
    static let myAwesomeClr = Color(UIColor(named: "theNameOfMyColorInAssets", in: .module, compatibleWith: nil)!)
}

• And, you need to add a resource target to your Package file…

let package = Package(
    name: "YourPackageName",
    
... some common package info here omitted for this example ....

    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "YourPackageName",
            dependencies: [],
            resources: [
                .process("Assets.xcassets"),
            ]
            ),
        .testTarget(
...  more code here ....

Where Assets is the name of the media file that has your color.

I needed a way for a single view to show alerts with one button, with two buttons, and with two buttons and a destructive action (destructive actions are shown in red). I came up with a solution for Fasty, then I wanted to use it in another project, so I put it in a package.

To use:

1. Import the package
2. Add “@State private var alertParams: AlertParams?” to the view that you want to have the Alert.
3. At the bottom of that view, add: “.modifier(AlertModifier(alertParams: $alertParams))”
4. Add the following (or something similar) to the view: Button(“Pop up an alert with one button and an action”) { alertParams = AlertParams(title: “One Button”, message: “One button that calls an action”, primaryButtonLabel: “The button label”) { print(“The user clicked the Alert button”) } }

import SwiftUI
import AlertPopUp_iOS13

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var alertParams: AlertParams?
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button("Pop up an alert with one button and an action") {
                alertParams = AlertParams(title: "One Button", message: "One button that calls an action", primaryButtonLabel: "The button label") { print("The user clicked the Alert button") }
            }
        }
        .modifier(AlertModifier(alertParams: $alertParams))
        .padding()
    }
}

The readMe gives more details.

Here’s a sample project that uses the package.
