Xcode plugin that simplifies adding #import-s.
Xcode plugins are no longer supported since Xcode 8. If you're looking for an Xcode App Extension, check out
- install Alcatraz and search for Peckham
- clone the repository or download .zip
- open Peckham.xcodeproj
- build Peckham target
- restart Xcode
- ⌘ + ctrl + P to invoke the popup
- start typing or paste the keyword of your import
- use ↑ or ↓ keys to navigate
- press ↵ or double click to add an import
- fuzzy search => type
mvcto find aModelViewController - copy paste => ⌘ + C the class name and then ⌘ + V after opening Peckham
Originally the plugin was supposed to handle adding / removing imports on the fly, which soon proved to be a more difficult task than I originally imagined, and took me on an exploration path of Clang libtooling and other cool stuff. I recently decided that I would instead make a GUI popup for adding an #import which seems to be a better approach to the problem in the first place. The code base contains a lot of parts that were originally meant to parse the code and make a tree (similar to Clang's AST) to find the #import statements in text. Due to performance reasons, this was dumped in favor of regex-es.
There are several things that are to be added to the project
- faster algorithm to find the header files associated with a certain target
- adding frameworks to the selected target build phases as soon as you add an #import in your file
- @import support
- the search includes the whole path of the header
- the table cell highlights the wrong piece of string
- user headers are not really handled properly
- there is an issue with header duplication (especially visible with CocoaPods)
- check issues section
- branch from develop and PR to develop
- use gitflow for creating a feature branch
