RegX
Prettify plugin for Xcode. It enables alignment of specific source code elements and makes code easier to read and understand.
Installation
$ git clone [email protected]:kzaher/RegX.git- Build in Xcode. (building will automagically install it)
- Restart Xcode and that should be it.
If it doesn't work, please check messages in console (Console.app) while starting Xcode and look for error messages. There is a possibility that you have Xcode version whose DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID hasn't been specified in Info.plist. To resolve the issue, add your DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID to Info.plist
How does it work?
RegX uses regular expressions to group text in columns and align those columns. Every regular expression group creates one vertically aligned column. Additional settings for columns can be specified.
Customization
All of the regular expressions and settings for them are defined in a file called 'Configuration.swift'.
e.g.
static let assignments = "^" +
" (?# lvalue GROUP)" +
" ([^=]*)" +
" (?# = GROUP)" +
" (\\=) " +
" (?# expression GROUP)" +
" ((?:[^/] | (?:/(?!/)) )*)" +
" (?# comments GROUP)" +
" (//.*)?" +
"$"RegularForm(name: "Assignments", // name in Edit -> RegX menu
pattern: Patterns.assignments, // grouping regular expression
shortcut: String(UnicodeScalar(NSF4FunctionKey)), // shortcut key
modifier: NSEventModifierFlags.CommandKeyMask, // shortcut modifier
settings: [ // each setting controls start and end padding
GroupSettings(nil, 0), // nil means keep existing padding
GroupSettings(1, 1), // value means ensure padding
GroupSettings(0, 0),
GroupSettings(1, 0),
]
