SymbolPicker is a SwiftUI package that provides a native, highly customizable symbol picker component for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. Built to integrate seamlessly with SwiftUI, it leverages Apple’s SF Symbols and offers a familiar interface for browsing and selecting symbols with flexible styling and color options. With support for dynamic type, accessibility, and platform-adaptive presentations, SymbolPicker is ideal for creating intuitive symbol selection experiences.

The SymbolPicker component is a SwiftUI View that adapts to each platform, offering a simple yet powerful API for integration and customization.

A minimal setup for a functional symbol picker across platforms:

import SwiftUI
import SymbolPicker

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var isPresented = false
    @State private var symbolName = "star.fill"

    var body: some View {
        Button(action: { isPresented = true }) {
            Image(systemName: symbolName)
                .resizable()
                .scaledToFit()
                .frame(width: 50, height: 50)
        }
        .symbolPicker(isPresented: $isPresented, symbolName: $symbolName)
        .symbolPickerSymbolsStyle(.filled)
        .symbolPickerDismiss(type: .onSymbolSelect)
    }
}

Enhance the symbol picker with color selection using [Double], SymbolColor, or SwiftUI Color, along with custom styles and platform-specific behaviors:

import SwiftUI
import SymbolPicker

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var isPresented = false
    @State private var symbolName = "car.fill"
    @State private var colorValues: [Double] = [0.906, 0.392, 0.416, 1.0]

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Image(systemName: symbolName)
                .foregroundStyle(Color(
                    red: colorValues[0],
                    green: colorValues[1],
                    blue: colorValues[2],
                    opacity: colorValues[3]
                ))
                .font(.system(size: 64))
            Button("Select Symbol") { isPresented.toggle() }
            Text("Symbol: \(symbolName)")
        }
        .padding()
        .symbolPicker(
            isPresented: $isPresented,
            symbolName: $symbolName,
            color: $colorValues
        )
        .symbolPickerSymbolsStyle(.filled)
        .symbolPickerDismiss(type: .onSymbolSelect)
    }
}

The SymbolPicker package offers modifiers to customize its appearance, behavior, and interaction. Below are key examples from each category. For a complete list, refer to the SymbolPicker Documentation.

• symbolPicker(isPresented:symbolName:): Presents the picker without color selection, ideal for simple symbol selection.
  Available on iOS (14.0+), iPadOS (14.0+), macOS (11.0+), visionOS (1.0+).
• symbolPicker(isPresented:symbolName:color:): Configures the picker with color binding supporting [Double] for RGBA, SwiftUI Color, or SymbolColor.
  Available on iOS (14.0+), iPadOS (14.0+), macOS (11.0+), visionOS (1.0+).

• symbolPickerSymbolsStyle(_:): Toggles between .filled (e.g., star.fill) and .outline (e.g., star) symbol variants.
  Available on iOS (14.0+), iPadOS (14.0+), macOS (11.0+), visionOS (1.0+).
• symbolPickerDismiss(type:): Configures dismissal behavior, with .onSymbolSelect to close the picker upon symbol selection.
  Available on iOS (14.0+), iPadOS (14.0+), macOS (11.0+), visionOS (1.0+).

• Supports predefined SymbolColor values (e.g., .red, .blue, .customColor(red:green:blue:alpha:)) for consistent styling.
• Allows [Double] for RGBA values, SwiftUI Color, or SymbolColor.customColor(red:green:blue:alpha:) for precise color customization.
