Textualize - Text Manipulation App

Capitalfun is an iOS app built with SwiftUI that allows users to manipulate text by changing its case. This app provides features to capitalize text in all caps, first letter capitalization, and lowercase with a simple interface. Additionally, the app allows the user to copy the manipulated text to the clipboard. The main purpose of the app is to save me some time when working with text that needs quick capitalization or modification without using the Shift key (bit against the camelCasing ;)).

Features:

• Text Manipulation:
  • ALL CAPS: Converts the text to all uppercase letters.
  • First Letter Capitalization: Capitalizes the first letter of each word.
  • Lowercase: Converts the text to all lowercase letters.
• Text Input: The app provides a TextField for input, allowing the user to interact with the app easily.
• Copy Text: A button allows users to copy the manipulated text directly to the clipboard.
• Simple UI: Clean and responsive design using SwiftUI components.

Technologies Used:

• SwiftUI: Used for building the app's UI with declarative syntax.
• State Management: Utilized @State for managing dynamic text inputs and UI updates.
• UI Design: Created custom buttons with CustomButtonView using Text, Padding, Frame, Color, and RoundedRectangle to build aesthetically pleasing, interactive UI elements.

Key Concepts Learned:

In building this app, I gained practical experience with several SwiftUI concepts:

• View Composition: I composed UI elements like Text, TextField, Button, and HStack to form the app’s interface.
• State Binding: I used the @State property wrapper to manage and bind user input (userText) and control the app’s state (like toggling between capitalization modes).
• Action Handling: Implemented custom actions for buttons to change the text case or copy text to the clipboard.
• Custom Components: Created reusable custom button views (CustomButtonView) for consistent styling and actions across the app.
• App Architecture: Utilized basic principles of functional UI design and view updates with dynamic state management.

How I Used These Concepts:

The app was designed to provide a quick solution to avoid the need for manually using the Shift button for capitalization. I needed a tool to manipulate text efficiently, especially when typing names or headings in varying formats. This app offers users the following:

• Quick Text Formatting: Change the text case with one click, saving time and effort when adjusting capitalization formats.
• Improved User Interaction: The app is simple to use with a clean design, allowing users to change the case of text without switching to a different keyboard.

Grammar Rules (Future Enhancements):

I am actively working on adding grammar rules to the app, which will allow users to:

• Fix Capitalization: Implement logic to automatically correct improper capitalization based on common grammar rules (like capitalizing only the first word of a sentence).
• Sentence Casing: Convert text to proper sentence casing based on punctuation and structure.
• Contextual Capitalization: Detect specific keywords or phrases and apply context-sensitive formatting (e.g., names, titles, etc.).

Planned Features:

• Grammar Suggestions: The app will give grammar suggestions, including punctuation or missing capitalization, to improve text formatting.
• Customizable Text Editing: Users will be able to add their own grammar rules or select predefined styles.

How to Run:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PurvaT-11/Capitalfun.git

2. Open the project in Xcode.

3. Run the app on iOS Simulator or a connected device.
