Compile-time checked SF Symbol names using Swift Macros
let package = Package(
name: "SymbolMacro",
platforms: [.iOS(.v13), .macOS(.v11), .tvOS(.v13), .watchOS(.v6), .macCatalyst(.v13)],
)
let symbolName = #symbol("figure.walk")
// Expands to:
let symbolName = "figure.walk"let symbolName = #symbol("figure.eating.beans")
// Error: 1:18 invalid symbol namelet symbol = #symbolImage("figure.walk")
// Expands to:
let symbol = Image("figure.walk")let symbol = #symbolImage("figure.eating.beans")
// Expands to:
// Error: 1:14 invalid symbol nameSF Symbols can be accessed using hardcoded enum cases using:
