format files with just the application

[codemongerer]

It would be very convenient for me to format multiple files without even opening Xcode. EG. by selecting a folder with files from a menu.

I am new to Swift development, but I'll take a stab to add this to the project if there's interest...

Hey @codemongerer - could you explain the feature set that you're envisioning a little more? Are you interested in a UX, wherein:

• User runs a command line program that takes a directory or a file as an argument
• Application runs and prints out success (return code 0) or error (return code 1) with a bunch of linting errors

OR

• User runs a GUI tool that let's the user input a directory or file as an argument
• Application runs and prints out success or error list on the GUI somewhere

Let me know what you are thinking.

Additionally, we welcome all PRs and would love any contributions! So feel free to make a PR. We'd be happy to work with you on this. Since we are supporting this in our spare time at work, we normally take a minute to implement new feature requests based on resource availability on our end!

Thanks for the message, please excuse for the late reply

I am more interested in using the existing settings app "Uncrustifier", not another tool. For example if I want to start using formatting right now, I have to go to each file in Xcode and format each. I would rather format a whole folder of files (only apply formatting to .m or .h files). I wouldn't expect a success or error list — I can see the change using source control like git.
