How do I set a weight to SF Symbols for iOS 13?

Question

I have this

Image(systemName: "arrow.right")

But how do I make it bold, semibold etc?

I am using the new SwiftUI.

Answer 1

When using the font modifier, set a weight to the font you're passing.

For example, if you want to use one of the default text styles (which I recommend, since they adapt to the user's Dynamic Type setting), you can do it like this:

Image(systemName: "arrow.right")
  .font(Font.title.weight(.ultraLight))

If you want to specify a font size, you can do it like this:

Image(systemName: "arrow.right")
  .font(Font.system(size: 60, weight: .ultraLight))

Answer 2

For UIKit, symbols can be configured as follows:

UIImage(systemName: "arrow.right",
        withConfiguration: UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(pointSize: 16, weight: .bold))
