Color Literal not being suggested - Xcode 9

Question

Im trying to set an attribute with a specific color, in this case I want to use the Color Literal function however Xcode is not suggesting Color Literal and only giving me the options to pick from UIColor... How can I fix the suggestions issue?

Answer 1

I think you can add this literal to your code snippet library.

#colorLiteral(red: 1.0, green: 1.0, blue: 1.0, alpha: 1.0)

Answer 2

This is possibly because the compiler does not know that you want a color. You are putting it into a dictionary and all you have told it is that it is of type Any.

Try creating the color first...

let color: UIColor = ColorLiteral

That should then pop up the picker. And you can put color into your dictionary.
