swift-mode

Summary

Major-mode for Apple's Swift programming language. Provides:

syntax highlighting
indentation
code navigation with imenu
automatic syntax checking with flycheck

This is currently at an early stage of development and there's plenty of work to do. Check the issue tracker.

Requires Emacs 24 or later.

Installing

swift-mode can be installed using Emacs' built-in package manager or from source. You can also install flycheck if you want syntax checking.

package.el

MELPA

You can install a snapshot version of swift-mode from the MELPA repository. The version of swift-mode there will always be up-to-date, but it might be unstable (albeit rarely).

You can add MELPA to the list of package.el repositories like this:

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/"))

MELPA Stable

You can install the last stable version of swift-mode from the MELPA Stable repository.

You can add MELPA Stable to the list of package.el repositories like this:

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa-stable" . "http://melpa-stable.milkbox.net/packages/"))

The package installation is as easy as:

M-x package-install swift-mode

If you'd like to get on-the-fly syntax checking you should install flycheck as well:

M-x package-install flycheck

Manual

You will need make and Cask to build the project.

cd swift-mode
make && make install

This will install swift-mode via package.el locally.

You can also install swift-mode the old-school way by simply dropping it somewhere on your load-path.

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacs.d/vendor")
(require 'swift-mode)
