SwiftKitten
SwiftKitten is a Swift autocompleter for Sublime Text, via the adorable SourceKitten framework. Faster than XCode !
This package is new and still in beta! I welcome any suggestions. If you find a bug, please open an issue. If you want to contribute, feel free to fork and submit a pull request.
Installation
First, make sure to install SourceKitten !
SwiftKitten is available via Package Control.
To install manually, clone this repository into your packages directory:
git clone https://github.com/johncsnyder/SwiftKitten.git
In Sublime, run Preferences: Browse Packages
from the command palette
to find your packages directory.
Dependencies
The dependencies are included with the SwiftKitten package.
ijson
SwiftKitten uses ijson to parse
completions results from SourceKitten. By default, SwiftKitten will use
the pure python backend. If the faster yajl2_cffi
backend is available,
SwiftKitten will automatically load it. It is highly recommended that
you build the cffi backend.
cffi [optional]
Navigate to [Packages]/SwiftKitten/cffi/
and run python setup.py build
.
This will build cffi in place. Maybe sure to run this command with python3.3
.
Must be compatible with Sublime. Next time you start Sublime, SwiftKitten will
load the yajl2_cffi
backend.
Caching
SwiftKitten uses pygments to parse autocomplete prefixes and caches the result for the next time you request it. There will be a slight delay the first time you autocomplete a function, but the next time, it will be instantaneous. For example
SwiftKitten will remember the autocomplete results for foo
and cache them.
The next time you type foo.
, SwiftKitten will return the cached results.
Also, an autocomplete request will be sent if the cached results have timed
out (See cache_timeout
in package settings). If the results
have changed, SwiftKitten will update the autocomplete window. A default
cache timeout of one second ensures you will always be shown up-to-date results,
while preventing a barrage of unnecessary requests to SourceKitten.
To clear the cache manually, run SwiftKitten: Clear Cache
from the command
palette (this clears the framework cache also).
Frameworks
SwiftKitten parses your file to find imported frameworks automatically.
SwiftKitten requests and caches framework globals separately, since they
are only needed once and requesting them via SourceKitten can take a while
(e.g. 20-30 seconds for Foundation). It is possible to exclude specific
frameworks from autocompletion results (See exclude_framework_globals
in
package settings).
The framework cache is persistant between sessions. It is saved to Sublime's cache folder on saving a view, and is loaded next time SwiftKitten is loaded.
External frameworks
Please provide a list of paths to external frameworks in settings under
extra_framework_paths
. These are passed to SourceKitten via compilerargs.
Documentation [experimental]
Running SwiftKitten: Display Documentation
from the command palette,
or by pressing ctrl+alt+d
will search a docset (path specified in settings)
via docsetutil and display the most relevant entry in an html popup.
Settings
See SwiftKitten.sublime-settings
for more settings and information.
Copy this file to [Packages]/User
to customize the settings.

*/
"docsetutil_binary" : "/usr/local/bin/docsetutil",
"docset" : "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Documentation/DocSets/com.apple.adc.documentation.OSX.docset"
}
Additionally, settings can be overridden in a sublime project file.
It is recommended to add the following to user or Swift syntax specific preferences:
"auto_complete_triggers": [ {"selector": "source.swift", "characters": "."} ]
Troubleshooting
If autocompletion is not working, pull up the Sublime python
console (ctrl+`
) and see if any error messages are reported.
TO DO
Add support for multi-file projects/modules (e.g. specified in a sublime project file).
Parse Xcode project to get file list and embedded frameworks (similiar to SourceKittenDaemon).
Add Xcode build, run and debug commands. Build system is not flexible enough. Specify the xcode project in sublime project file. Or if xcode project in same folder as sublime project, use this one as default.
Build cffi automatically on sublime package install ? I'm not sure if sublime's python interpreter has the necessary tools to build it. Tried briefly but could not get it to work.
Add support for multiple docsets. Make documentation context aware. Add support for api links, so that documentation can be navigated.
