The original way to create an attributed string in Swift:

let attributes: [String: AnyObject] = 
	[NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.blueColor(), 
     NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName:  NSNumber(integer: NSUnderlineStyle.StyleSingle.rawValue)]
let fancyString = NSAttributedString(string: "Hello World!", attributes: attributes) 

With SwiftyAttributes, you can write the same thing like this:

let fancyString = "Hello World!".withTextColor(UIColor.blueColor()).withUnderlineStyle(.StyleSingle)

You can also easily combine attributed strings using a plus sign:

let fancyString = "Hello".withFont(UIFont.systemFontOfSize(12)) + " World!".withFont(UIFont.systemFontOfSize(18))

SwiftyAttributes Has support for every attribute that can be used in iOS.

With CocoaPods:

pod 'SwiftyAttributes'

Manually:

Download the zip file (or clone the project), and drag SwiftyAttributes.swift into your project.
