To add SwiftLint to third-party packages, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Add SwiftLint as a Dependency: You need to add SwiftLint as a dependency in your Package.swift file. This can be done by including it in the dependencies array.

    // swift-tools-version:5.3
    import PackageDescription
    
    let package = Package(
        name: "YourPackageName",
        dependencies: [
            .package(url: "https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint.git", from: "0.43.0")
        ],
        targets: [
            .target(
                name: "YourTargetName",
                dependencies: ["SwiftLint"]
            )
        ]
    )
    
  2. Configure SwiftLint: Create a .swiftlint.yml file in the root of your package to configure the rules and settings for SwiftLint.

    disabled_rules: # rule identifiers to exclude from running
      - line_length
      - type_name
    
    opt_in_rules: # some rules are only opt-in
      - empty_count
      - missing_docs
    
    included: # paths to include during linting. `--path` is ignored if present.
      - Source
    
    excluded: # paths to ignore during linting. Takes precedence over `included`.
      - Carthage
      - Pods
    
  3. Run SwiftLint: You can run SwiftLint manually from the command line or integrate it into your build process. To run it manually, navigate to your package directory and execute:

    swift run swiftlint
    
  4. Integrate with Xcode: If you are using Xcode, you can add a build phase to run SwiftLint automatically. Go to your Xcode project settings, select your target, and add a new "Run Script Phase" with the following script:

    if which swiftlint >/dev/null; then
      swiftlint
    else
      echo "warning: SwiftLint not installed, download from https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint"
    fi

What’s new in Swift

What’s new in Swift

Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.

Go small with Embedded Swift

Go small with Embedded Swift

Embedded Swift brings the safety and expressivity of Swift to constrained environments. Explore how Embedded Swift runs on a variety of microcontrollers through a demonstration using an off-the-shelf Matter device. Learn how the Embedded Swift subset packs the benefits of Swift into a tiny footprint with no runtime, and discover plenty of resources to start your own Embedded Swift adventure.

Explore the Swift on Server ecosystem
