Converting from std::string to NSString

Question

How can I convert from std::string to NSString in this case?

void Piles::imagePlacer(Card card, int xCoord, int yCoord) {
    string cardType = card.toString();

    UIImageView *cardImg = [[UIImageView alloc]
                 initWithImage:cardType];
    cardImg.frame = CGRectMake(xCoord, yCoord, 126, 190);
    [self.view addSubview:cardImg];
}

I want to use a string as the name of the image (assuming I have a list of UIImages somewhere with names that correspond to all possible strings stored in cardType)?

Just go through a C string:

[NSString stringWithUTF8String:cardType.c_str()]

or using the new syntax:

@(cardType.c_str())
