swift-mode

Major-mode for Apple's Swift programming language.

Installation

Install swift-mode package from MELPA.

To install without MELPA, download latest release and execute M-x package-install-file for the .tar archive.

Features

  • Font Lock

  • Indentation

    switch foo {
    case let .P1(x)
           where
             x > 0,
         let .P2(x)
           where
             x > 0:
        bar()
          .then { x in
              return baz(x)
          }
          .then {(
                   x,
                   y
                 ) in
              return moo(x + y)
          }
    }
    
    // Hanging brace
    let x = [
      1,
      2,
      3
    ]
    
    // Brace on its own line
    let y =
      [
        1,
        2,
        3
      ]
    
    // Utrecht style
    let z =
      [ 1
      , 2
      , 3
      ]
    
  • forward-sexp

  • beginning-of-defun, end-of-defun, mark-defun, and narrow-to-defun.

  • beginning-of-sentence, end-of-sentence, kill-sentence, backward-kill-sentence, mark-sentence, and narrow-to-sentence. A sentence is a statement outside comments or strings, or an ordinal sentence inside comments or strings.

  • indent-new-comment-line

  • Imenu

  • Running Swift REPL in a buffer (M-x run-swift)

  • Build Swift module (M-x swift-mode:build-swift-module)

  • Build iOS app (M-x swift-mode:build-ios-app)

  • Running debugger on Swift module (M-x swift-mode:debug-swift-module)

  • Running debugger on iOS app in simulator or device (M-x swift-mode:debug-ios-app) (ios-deploy is required to debug on device).

This package does not provide flycheck. See flycheck-swift.

Limitations

Some syntax constructs removed from Swift 3.0 are not supported:

  • C-style for-loop: for var i = 1; i < 10; i++ { }

  • Multiple assignments in single if let:

    if let x = x,
           y = y {
    }
    

    Use multiple let instead:

    if let x = x,
       let y = y {
    }
    

Indentation may not accurate. For example, foo(Bar < A, B > (c)) can be indented like either

foo(Bar < A,
    B > (c)) // Passing two Boolean arguments to foo

or

foo(Bar < A,
          B > (c)) // Passing a new Bar with two type arguments and a value

The Swift compiler disambiguates this case using tokens after >, but those tokens may not available at editing time. We use some heuristic for this.

Another example is difficulty of handling of colons. We have to pair all ? and : of conditional operators to decide indentation of the below snippet. This is a future work.

switch foo {
  case let P(x) where x is Foo? ? a ? b : c ?? d : e ? f : g :
    h ? i?.j() : k()
}

switch foo {
  case let P(x) where (x is Foo?) ? (a ? b : c ?? d) : (e ? f : g) :
    h ? i?.j() : k()
}

Yet another difficult case is consistency of blocks. We want to indent method chains like this:

var x = foo
  .then { x in
      aaa
  }
  .then { x in
      aaa
  }

while we also want to indent the body of if like this:

if anotherVeryLongVariableName
     .veryLongPropertyName {
    aaa
}

That is, we have to indent the closing brace with offset if it is a part of expressions while it should be aligned with the beginning of the statement/declaration if it is a part of a statement/declaration.

Then, how should we indent the following code when the cursor is before @?

var x = foo
  .bar {
    @

This could be

var x = foo
  .bar {
    @abc willSet {
        aaa
    }
}
// property declaration

or

var x = foo
  .bar {
      @abc var x = 1
      x
  }
// property initialization

Both are syntactically correct code. We cannot handle this case properly. This is also a future work.

Other example is regex literals and custom operators. The following example is valid Swift code with regex literals and custom operators.

let x = /^/ /^/ /^/

We parse them as regex literals rather than custom operators for now.
