SwitchIt 🔄

An Enum to Switch statement extension for XCode that is built to work with both Swift and Objective-C.

What made me build it?

I created it because I hate wasting time typing out all of the switch statements by hand.

Examples

Lets say you have a regular enum defined somewhere in your code. You'd go to the definition and highlight the area using your cursor. Once you've done this just go to Editor > SwitchIt > Create Switch to generate your full switch statement. See the output for both Swift and Objective-C below:

Do you not like separating out all of your enum types on different lines? Well, we still have you covered there too. Check out the extra examples below:

Tip

Finding it too slow to move your mouse to the Editor menu all the time? Create a shortcut for SwitchIt by going to XCode > Preferences > Key Bindings and filter by SwitchIt. From there you can assign any keyboard shortcut you like.

Installation

• Clone/Download the repo
• Open SwitchIt.xcodeproj
• Enable target signing for both the Application and the XCode Extension using your own developer ID
• Select the application target and then Product > Archive
• Export the archive as a macOS App
• Run the app, then you can quit it but dont delete it
• Go to System Preferences -> Extensions -> Xcode Source Editor and enable the SwitchIt extension
• The menu-item should now be available from Xcode's Editor menu
