Enable the extension

• Open the app.
• Open System Preferences -> Extensions
• Check the box under NitGuard to enable it in Xcode
• Restart Xcode

Configure your project

Put a .nitguard file next to your workspace or project file, or in any root parent directory. It can look something like this:

{
    "command": "tools/swiftformat",
    "args": [ "--config", ".swiftformat" ]
}

Or this:

{
    "command": "tools/clang-format",
    "args": [ "--assume-filename, "${CTX:documentName}" ]
}

Use contextual data if needed

A secondary feature of NitGuard is to deliver contextual data to your format commands. This data can be accessed using the format: ${CTX:[DATA]} where [DATA] is one of the provided items. The list of provided items is:

• documentName: The name of the document being formatted.
