Xcode plugin that simplifies adding #import-s.

Xcode plugins are no longer supported since Xcode 8. If you're looking for an Xcode App Extension, check out

• install Alcatraz and search for Peckham

• clone the repository or download .zip
• open Peckham.xcodeproj
• build Peckham target
• restart Xcode

• ⌘ + ctrl + P to invoke the popup
• start typing or paste the keyword of your import
• use ↑ or ↓ keys to navigate
• press ↵ or double click to add an import

• fuzzy search => type mvc to find a ModelViewController
• copy paste => ⌘ + C the class name and then ⌘ + V after opening Peckham

Originally the plugin was supposed to handle adding / removing imports on the fly, which soon proved to be a more difficult task than I originally imagined, and took me on an exploration path of Clang libtooling and other cool stuff. I recently decided that I would instead make a GUI popup for adding an #import which seems to be a better approach to the problem in the first place. The code base contains a lot of parts that were originally meant to parse the code and make a tree (similar to Clang's AST) to find the #import statements in text. Due to performance reasons, this was dumped in favor of regex-es.

There are several things that are to be added to the project

• faster algorithm to find the header files associated with a certain target
• adding frameworks to the selected target build phases as soon as you add an #import in your file
• @import support

• the search includes the whole path of the header
• the table cell highlights the wrong piece of string
• user headers are not really handled properly
• there is an issue with header duplication (especially visible with CocoaPods)

• check issues section
• branch from develop and PR to develop
• use gitflow for creating a feature branch
