Auto Importer for Xcode

Quickly import your headers on the fly without having to manually go to the top of your file and type the import statement.

Features

• Allows to import a class/protocol/category header by selecting some text matching its name.
• Allows to import from a list of all classes/protocols/categories and headers in your project.

Prerequisites

• Xcode 6

Install

Alcatraz

• Install Alcatraz and search for Auto-Importer

Manual

• Clone and build the project, then restart Xcode.

Usage

• ⌘ + ctrl + H after selecting some text (or you can have no selection at all)
• If the selected text matches the name of a class/protocol or category method, it will import the header and you're done, otherwise it will show a list of filtered identifiers and headers...
• start typing the keyword of your import
• use ↑ or ↓ keys to navigate
• press ↵ or double click to add an import

NOTE: on the list, classes are shown as [C], protocols as [P] and category methods as [ClassExtended()]

Uninstall

Run rm -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/AutoImporter.xcplugin/

Known Issues

• If you get an error alert while typing the shortcut, it may be because of a bad bundle build, so delete ~/Library/Application Support/Alcatraz/Plug-ins/Auto-Importer, ~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/Auto-Importer and ~/library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/* and reinstall from scratch.
• When two workspaces (and thus two windows) are open, there is no distinction between workspaces and all identifiers are shown on the listing.
• Avoid using 'InstallApplicationEventHandler' since it prevent other plugins to use it.

Dependencies

• XcodeEditor https://github.com/jasperblues/XcodeEditor

Roadmap

• Read headers from frameworks.

Misc

Thanks to the Peckham project since I used some pieces from it.
