nicklockwood/SwiftFormat ★ 8933 717 APPLICATION

SwiftFormat is a mature, rule-based Swift source code formatter and linter. It operates as a command-line tool, an Xcode source editor extension, and a Swift Package Manager plugin. The core engine tokenizes Swift source code and applies a configurable set of formatting rules, each defined as a static `FormatRule` with help text, options, and a closure that manipulates the token stream via a `Formatter` API. The architecture is modular: rules are isolated in individual files under `Sources/Rules/`, the formatter provides reusable token manipulation primitives, and reporters (JSON, XML, SARIF, GitHub Actions) handle output. Configuration is hierarchical via `.swiftformat` files, inline directives, and command-line options. The system's primary data flow is: source file → tokenization → rule application (ordered by dependencies) → token stream mutation → output. Rules can be disabled, version-gated, or run once. The test suite uses a shared `testFormatting` helper that verifies formatting output, lint idempotency, and change tracking. The project also includes an Xcode extension with a preferences UI and an SPM plugin for build-time formatting. External dependencies are minimal (Foundation, XcodeKit for the extension, and git for header metadata). Key entry points include `CommandLineTool/main.swift` (CLI), `EditorExtension/Extension/FormatFileCommand.swift` (Xcode), and `Plugins/SwiftFormatPlugin/SwiftFormatPlugin.swift` (SPM). The library target `SwiftFormat` exposes `format()` and `lint()` APIs for programmatic use. The codebase demonstrates high craftsmanship with a declarative rule DSL, auto-updating declaration tracking, and a comprehensive test infrastructure that catches regressions across real-world Swift projects (vendored as snapshot fixtures).
