Swift Project Creation

This extension allows to create an empty Swift project in VS Code. The necessary Package.swift file, a dummy main.swift file as well as VS Code-specific workspace files are generated. The user only needs to select a root folder for his workspace and indicate a project name.

The minimal Swift version (swift-tools-version) to be used in the Package.swift file can be set in the Settings (swift-project-creation.swift.toolsVersion).

This extension works well with the Swift for Visual Studio Code extension.

Installation

You can install this extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

Usage

• Install the extension and reload VS Code.
• Press Ctrl+Shift+P and enter swift. The autocompletion should suggest the option Create a Swift Project.
• Choose a root folder where the Swift project will be created in. A new folder with the necessary files will be created inside.
• Indicate the name of your Swift project.
• The newly created workspace will be opened. Please find the main.swift file inside the Sources folder.
• Happy Swift-ing :-)
