1 Description

This layer adds support for Apple's Swift programming language, used as a general purpose scripting language.

It relies on the swift-mode major-mode* for Emacs 24.4 or later, to provide the following features:

Syntax highlighting
Indentation
Code navigation using imenu (built-in)
Automatic syntax checking with flycheck (available with the syntax-checking layer)

2 Install

First check that you are able to run this from the command line:

On OS X:

xcrun swift

Then to use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add swift to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

3 Usage information

Unless configured by the user, the REPL will be invoked using the command xcrun swift. You can launch the REPL using the keybinding SPC m s s (or C-c C-z). The universal prefix SPC u (C-u) may be used to modify command invocation.
