Rules

andOperator

Prefer comma over && in if, guard or while conditions.

Examples 
- if true && true {
+ if true, true {

- guard true && true else {
+ guard true, true else {

- if functionReturnsBool() && true {
+ if functionReturnsBool(), true {

- if functionReturnsBool() && variable {
+ if functionReturnsBool(), variable {

anyObjectProtocol

Prefer AnyObject over class in protocol definitions.

Examples 
- protocol Foo: class {}
+ protocol Foo: AnyObject {}

NOTE: The guideline to use AnyObject instead of class was only introduced in Swift 4.1, so the anyObjectProtocol rule is disabled unless the swift version is set to 4.1 or above.


blankLinesAroundMark

Insert blank line before and after MARK: comments.

Examples 
  func foo() {
    // foo
  }
  // MARK: bar
  func bar() {
    // bar
  }

  func foo() {
    // foo
  }
+
  // MARK: bar
+
  func bar() {
    // bar
  }

blankLinesAtEndOfScope

Remove trailing blank line at the end of a scope.

Examples 
  func foo() {
    // foo
-
  }

  func foo() {
    // foo
  }

  array = [
    foo,
    bar,
    baz,
-
  ]

  array = [
    foo,
    bar,
    baz,
  ]

blankLinesAtStartOfScope

Remove leading blank line at the start of a scope.

Examples 
  func foo() {
-
    // foo
  }

  func foo() {
    // foo
  }

  array = [
-
    foo,
    bar,
    baz,
  ]

  array = [
    foo,
    bar,
    baz,
  ]

blankLinesBetweenScopes

Insert blank line before class, struct, enum, extension, protocol or function declarations.

Examples 
  func foo() {
    // foo
  }

+ ]

  switch foo {

isEmpty

Prefer isEmpty over comparing count against zero.

Examples 
- if foo.count == 0 {
+ if foo.isEmpty {

- if foo.count > 0 {
+ if !foo.isEmpty {

- if foo?.count == 0 {
+ if foo?.isEmpty == true {

NOTE: In rare cases, the isEmpty rule may insert an isEmpty call for a type that doesn't implement that property, breaking the program. For this reason, the rule is disabled by default, and must be manually enabled via the --enable isEmpty option.


leadingDelimiters

Move leading delimiters to the end of the previous line.

Examples 
- guard let foo = maybeFoo // first
-     , let bar = maybeBar else { ... }

+ guard let foo = maybeFoo, // first
+      let bar = maybeBar else { ... }

linebreakAtEndOfFile

linebreaks

Use specified linebreak character for all linebreaks (CR, LF or CRLF).

Option Description

modifierOrder

Use consistent ordering for member modifiers.

Option Description

Examples 
- lazy public weak private(set) var foo: UIView?
+ public private(set) lazy weak var foo: UIView?

- final public override func foo()
+ override public final func foo()

- convenience private init()
+ private convenience init()

numberFormatting

Use consistent grouping for numeric literals. Groups will be separated by _ delimiters to improve readability. For each numeric type you can specify a group size (the number of digits in each group) and a threshold (the minimum number of digits in a number before grouping is applied).

Option Description
--decimalgrouping Decimal grouping,threshold (default: 3,6) or "none", "ignore"
--binarygrouping Binary grouping,threshold (default: 4,8) or "none", "ignore"
--octalgrouping Octal grouping,threshold (default: 4,8) or "none", "ignore"

--exponentcase Case of 'e' in numbers: "lowercase" or "uppercase" (default)
Examples 
- let color = 0xFF77A5
+ let color = 0xff77a5

- let big = 123456.123
+ let big = 123_456.123

preferKeyPath

Convert trivial map { $0.foo } closures to keyPath-based syntax.

Examples 
- let barArray = fooArray.map { $0.bar }

+ let barArray = fooArray.map(\.bar)

ranges

Add or remove space around range operators.

Note: ranges rule is deprecated. Use spaceAroundOperators instead.

redundantBackticks

Remove redundant backticks around identifiers.

Examples 
- let `infix` = bar
+ let infix = bar

- func foo(with `default`: Int) {}
+ func foo(with default: Int) {}

redundantBreak

Remove redundant break in switch case.

Examples 
  switch foo {
    case bar:
        print("bar")
-       break
    default:
        print("default")
-       break
  }

redundantExtensionACL

Remove redundant access control modifiers.

Examples 
  public extension URL {
-   public func queryParameter(_ name: String) -> String { ... }
  }

  public extension URL {
+   func queryParameter(_ name: String) -> String { ... }
  }

redundantFileprivate

Prefer private over fileprivate where equivalent.

Examples 
-  fileprivate let someConstant = "someConstant"
+  private let someConstant = "someConstant"

In Swift 4 and above, fileprivate can also be replaced with private for members that are only accessed from extensions in the same file:

  class Foo {
-   fileprivate var foo = "foo"
+   private var foo = "foo"
  }

  extension Foo {
    func bar() {
      print(self.foo)
    }
  }

redundantGet

Remove unneeded get clause inside computed properties.

Examples 
  var foo: Int {
-   get {
-     return 5
-   }
  }

  var foo: Int {
+   return 5
  }

redundantInit

Remove explicit init if not required.

Examples 
- String.init("text")
+ String("text")

redundantLet

Remove redundant let/var from ignored variables.

Examples 
- let _ = foo()
+ _ = foo()

redundantLetError

Remove redundant let error from catch clause.

Examples 
- do { ... } catch let error { log(error) }
+ do { ... } catch { log(error) }

redundantNilInit

Remove redundant nil default value (Optional vars are nil by default).

Examples 
- var foo: Int? = nil
+ var foo: Int?

// doesn't apply to `let` properties
let foo: Int? = nil

// doesn't affect non-nil initialization
var foo: Int? = 0

redundantObjc

Remove redundant @objc annotations.

Examples 
- @objc @IBOutlet var label: UILabel!
+ @IBOutlet var label: UILabel!

- @IBAction @objc func goBack() {}
+ @IBAction func goBack() {}

- @objc @NSManaged private var foo: String?
+ @NSManaged private var foo: String?

redundantParens

Remove redundant parentheses.

Examples 
- if (foo == true) {}
+ if foo == true {}

- while (i < bar.count) {}
+ while i < bar.count {}

- queue.async() { ... }
+ queue.async { ... }

- let foo: Int = ({ ... })()
+ let foo: Int = { ... }()

redundantPattern

Remove redundant pattern matching parameter syntax.

Examples 
- if case .foo(_, _) = bar {}
+ if case .foo = bar {}

- let (_, _) = bar
+ let _ = bar

redundantRawValues

Remove redundant raw string values for enum cases.

Examples 
  enum Foo: String {
-   case bar = "bar"
    case baz = "quux"
  }

  enum Foo: String {
+   case bar
    case baz = "quux"
  }

redundantReturn

Remove unneeded return keyword.

Examples 
- array.filter { return $0.foo == bar }
+ array.filter { $0.foo == bar }

redundantSelf

Insert/remove explicit self where applicable.

Option Description
--self Explicit self: "insert", "remove" (default) or "init-only"
--selfrequired Comma-delimited list of functions with @autoclosure arguments
Examples 
  func foobar(foo: Int, bar: Int) {
    self.foo = foo
    self.bar = bar
-   self.baz = 42
  }

  func foobar(foo: Int, bar: Int) {
    self.foo = foo
    self.bar = bar
+   baz = 42
  }

In the rare case of functions with @autoclosure arguments, self may be required at the call site, but SwiftFormat is unable to detect this automatically. You can use the --selfrequired command-line option to specify a list of such methods, and the redundantSelf rule will then ignore them.

An example of such a method is the expect() function in the Nimble unit testing framework (https://github.com/Quick/Nimble), which is common enough that SwiftFormat excludes it by default.

There is also an option to always use explicit self but only inside init, by using --self init-only:

  init(foo: Int, bar: Int) {
    self.foo = foo
    self.bar = bar
-   baz = 42
  }

  init(foo: Int, bar: Int) {
    self.foo = foo
    self.bar = bar
+   self.baz = 42
  }

redundantVoidReturnType

Remove explicit Void return type.

Examples 
- func foo() -> Void {
    // returns nothing
  }

+ func foo() {
    // returns nothing
  }

semicolons

Remove semicolons.

Option Description
--semicolons Allow semicolons: "never" or "inline" (default)
Examples 
- let foo = 5;
+ let foo = 5

- let foo = 5; let bar = 6
+ let foo = 5
+ let bar = 6

// semicolon is not removed if it would affect the behavior of the code
return;
goto(fail)

sortedImports

Sort import statements alphabetically.

Option Description
--importgrouping "testable-top", "testable-bottom" or "alphabetized" (default)
Examples 
- import Foo
- import Bar
+ import Bar
+ import Foo

- import B
- import A
- #if os(iOS)
-   import Foo-iOS
-   import Bar-iOS
- #endif
