Truffaut

A humble tool to help you presenting ideas by writing Swift

Requirements

• Xcode 10.2.1, the embedded swiftc will be used to interpret the slides manifest file
• Ruby gem rouge, this gem will be used to provide syntax highlighting for source code blocks

Usage

Get Truffaut.app

Clone this repo and build the target Truffaut.

Create slides manifest

Create a Swift file:

$ touch slides.swift

Import the supporting module:

import TruffautSupport

Initialize a presentation with pages:

let presentation = Presentation(pages: [
  Page(title: "Hello World", subtitle: "A Swift Slide"),
])

Manifest file reference

Caveats and Known Issues

• The Xcode version selected by xcode-select must be the same as the one used to build the application.
  • Otherwise opening slides may fail with errors like this: slides.swift:1:8: error: cannot load underlying module for 'TruffautSupport'
  • In Swift 5.1, this issue is likely to be fixed by Library Evolution.
• Currently the syntax highlighter is assuming ruby is installed at path /usr/local/bin/ruby which is usually true if the ruby is intalled with homebrew.
  • If this is not true for you, you can modify the ruby path in the preference (⌘ + ,).
• Export to PDF is not implemented.
