swift-mod

A tool for Swift code modification intermediating between code generation and formatting.

Overview

swift-mod is a tool for Swift code modification that intermediating between code generator and formatter built on top of apple/SwiftSyntax.
It can generates boilerplate code, such as access control or memberwise initializers in modularized source code, taking into account the state of the AST.
You can improve your productivity for writing more advanced Swift codes with introducing swift-mod.

Example

• Before

struct Avenger {
    var heroName: String
    internal var realName: String?
}

let avengers = [
    Avenger(heroName: "Iron Man", realName: "Tony Stark"),
    Avenger(heroName: "Captain America", realName: "Steve Rogers"),
    Avenger(heroName: "Thor"),
]

• After

+ public struct Avenger {
+     public var heroName: String
    internal var realName: String?

+     public init(
+         heroName: String,
+         realName: String? = nil
+     ) {
+         self.heroName = heroName
+         self.realName = realName
+     }
}

+ public let avengers = [
    Avenger(heroName: "Iron Man", realName: "Tony Stark"),
    Avenger(heroName: "Captain America", realName: "Steve Rogers"),
    Avenger(heroName: "Thor"),
]

Getting Started

1. Install swift-mod.

2. Generates configuration file.

swift-mod init

3. Check the all modification rules.

swift-mod rules
swift-mod rules --detail [RULE IDENTIFIER] # Display more detailed rule description

4. Edit your configuration file with an editor you like, refering to the documentation.

5. Run

swift-mod

Command Usage

swift-mod [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]

All commands can be display a usage by option -h/--help.

• run (or not specified): Modifies Swift source code by rules.

  OPTION	SHORT	USAGE
  –configuration	-c	The path to a configuration Yaml file
  –target	-t	The target name to be run partially
  –dry-run		Run without actually changing any files
  –check		Dry run that an error occurs if the any files should be changed

• init: Generates a modify configuration file.

  OPTION	SHORT	USAGE
  –output	-o	Path where the modify configuration should be generated

• rules: Display the list of rules and overview.

  OPTION	SHORT	USAGE
  –detail	-d	A rule identifier to displaying detailed description

Configuration

Modification rules and targets are defines with YAML-formatted file. By default, it’s searched by name .swift-mod.yml.
Any file name is allowed with passing with option like follows:

swift-mod --configuration your-config-file.yml

Example

format:
  indent: 4
  lineBreakBeforeEachArgument: true
targets:
  main:
    paths:
      - "**/main.swift"
    excludedPaths:
      - Modules/
    rules:
      defaultAccessLevel:
        accessLevel: internal
        implicitInternal: true
  module:
    paths:
      - Modules/
    rules:
      defaultAccessLevel:
        accessLevel: openOrPublic
        implicitInternal: true
      defaultMemberwiseInitializer:
        enabled: true

Format

Determines the format setting in all rules.
Format according to this setting only when changes occur.

Targets

Defines the several targets by name key that defines different paths or rules to apply.
Glob paths are allowed for paths and excludedPaths.
Each target can runs partially by command with option like follows:

swift-mod --target [TARGET NAME]

Rules

Defines a modification rules enabled and its settings.
All rules are opt-in.
Rules where all settings are optional can specify only Boolean value indicating whether it’s enabled by key enabled.

Default Access Level

struct Avenger {
    var heroName: String
    internal var realName: String?
}

+ public struct Avenger {
+    public var heroName: String
    internal var realName: String?
}

Default Memberwise Initializer

struct Avenger {
    var heroName: String
    internal var realName: String?
}

struct Avenger {
    var heroName: String
    internal var realName: String?

+    init(
+        heroName: String,
+        realName: String? = nil
+    ) {
+        self.heroName = heroName
+        self.realName = realName
+    }
}

Ignoring Rules

swift-mod allows users to suppress modification for node and its children by comment like below.

• Ignore all rules

// swift-mod-ignore

// swift-mod-ignore
struct Avenger {
    var heroName: String
    internal var realName: String?
}

• Ignore specific rule(s)

// swift-mod-ignore: [COMMA DELIMITED RULE IDENTIFIERS]

// swift-mod-ignore: defaultAccessLevel, defaultMemberwiseInitializer
struct Avenger {
    var heroName: String
    internal var realName: String?
}

Installation

swift-mod doesn’t support HomeBrew because it’s hard to keep backward compatibility due to depended on the version of Swift toolchain you are using.

Using Swift Package Manager

Add the following to the dependencies of your Package.swift:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/ra1028/swift-mod.git", from: "swift-mod version"),
]

Run command:

swift run -c release swift-mod [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]

Using Mint

Install with Mint by following command:

mint install ra1028/swift-mod

Run command:

mint run ra1028/swift-mod [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]

Using CocoaPods

Add the following to your Podfile:

pod 'swift-mod'

Run command:

Pods/swift-mod/swift-mod [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]

* If you have changed the name of Xcode.app used in toolchain (xcode-select -p), swift-mod via CocoaPods can’t be excuted. Please set the Xcode name to Xcode.app. (See: https://forums.swift.org/t/swiftsyntax-with-swift-5-1/29051)

Swift Version Support

swift-mod depends on SwiftSyntax that the version in use must match the toolchain version.
So you should use swift-mod version that built with compatible version of Swift you are using.

Issue on macOS Before 10.14.4

Swift tool binary that works with static-stdlib can’t running on macOS before 10.14.4.
You need to update macOS or install the Swift 5 Runtime Support for Command Line Tools.

Development

Pull requests, bug reports and feature requests are welcome
?
.
See CONTRIBUTING.md file to learn how to contribute to swift-mod.

Please validate and test your code before you submit your changes by following commands:

 make autocorrect # Modifying, formatting, linting codes and generating Linux XCTest manifests.  
 make test

In addition, swift-mod supports running on Linux, so you should test by installing Docker and following command:

make docker-test

Known Issue

Currently, swift-mod doesn’t works properly with builds in debug configuration.
It may due to stack overflow with tail recursion in the method that enumerating the Swift file paths.
swift-mod works with optimizing tail recursion by builds in release configuration.
