This plugin written for Xcode 8's new plugin infrastructure uses Clang's libclangFormat
library to format code according to a .clang-format
file.
Open the app, select a predefined style, or open the .clang-format
file from your project:
Then, use the Format Source Code command in Xcode's Editor menu:
Due to macOS Sandboxing restrictions, this Plugin behaves slightly differently compared to the command line clang-format
command: It always uses the style selected in the configuration app, and will not use the nearest .clang-format
file on disk.
Download the precompiled app or build it yourself, then open the app. You might have to right click on the app bundle, and choose Open to run non-codesigned applications. Then,
- On OS X 10.11, you'll need to run
sudo /usr/libexec/xpccachectl
, then reboot to enable app extensions. - On macOS Sierra, extensions should be loaded by default.
To define a keyboard shortcut, open System Preferences, click on Keyboard, and switch to the Shortcuts tab. In the list on the left, select App Shortcuts, then hit the + button. Select Xcode, enter Format Source Code
, and define a shortcut of your liking.
To build XcodeClangFormat, run ./configure
on the command line, then build the XcodeClangFormat scheme in the included Xcode project.
