company-sourcekit

company-mode completion for Swift projects via SourceKit with the help of SourceKittenDaemon.

Limitations

• Only works when there is a *.xcodeproj up the directory tree.
• OSX-only, since this communicates with SourceKit which only runs on OSX (AFAIK)
• You need to have curl on your machine

Installation

First install SourceKittenDaemon. Make sure that it's in the exec-path of your Emacs.

And then you can install company-sourcekit in the following ways:

MELPA

M-x package-install <RET> company-sourcekit <RET>

Source

Make sure this repository is in your load-path, and then:

(require 'company-sourcekit)
(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-sourcekit)

Configuration

• company-sourcekit-use-yasnippet - Use yasnippet for completion expansion. By default this is enabled if yasnippet is detected.
• company-sourcekit-verbose - Log company-related messages to *messages* with verbosity
• sourcekit-available-ports - A list of ports that sourcekittendaemon is allowed to listen on.
• sourcekit-sourcekittendaemon-executable - Location of the sourcekittendaemon executable
• sourcekit-curl-executable - Location of the curl executable
• sourcekit-verbose - Log sourcekittendaemon-related messages to *messages* with verbosity

How it works

• company-sourcekit communicates with sourcekittendaemon via HTTP.
• Which in turn communicates with SourceKit using the sourcekitten framework.
• sourcekittendaemon will read your .xcodeproj file and determine the best configuration options to pass to sourcekit.

• Big thanks to @terhechte for spearheading SourceKittenDaemon!
• @jpsim for researching Sourcekit and making sourcekitten. Without which this would not be possible!
