Are you tired of dealing with broken projects over time, struggling to set up Swift with its many platform-specific nuances, or simply curious about trying Swift on non-Apple platforms? This extension is here to help!
Swift Stream is a powerful IDE for VS Code that enhances your ability to work with Swift projects beyond the traditional iOS/macOS ecosystem.
This extension enables you to write Swift code for multiple streams on any platform, all within a Docker container.
With a feature-packed and user-friendly environment, it ensures an exceptional development experience.
Ensure you have the Dev Containers extension installed in VS Code.
Additionally, make sure Docker Desktop or Docker Engine is installed and running on your machine, depending on the requirements of the Dev Containers extension for your platform.
- Web: Progressive web apps using WebAssembly
- Server: Backend apps using Vapor and Hummingbird
- Android: Apps (coming soon) and libraries (available today) via JNI
- Embedded: ESP32-C6, Raspberry Pi Pico, STM32, nrf52
- Pure: Libraries, macros, CLI tools, etc.
Projects for any of these streams can be easily created via the "Start New Project" wizard:
For iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms, you still need to use Xcode.
Literally anywhere VS Code is available!
On Windows, Linux, and macOS, you'll have the same experience since your code and tools always run inside the same containerized environment — powered by Docker + DevContainer or via SSH tunnel.
- Keeps your machine clean — no more toolchain and CLI-tools mess
- Even very old projects will still compile, since they retain the original environment
- You can deploy binaries compiled inside the container immediately
- Easily switch between toolchains with one click
- Work on a slow device by tunneling into a more powerful machine or server via SSH
- Stay developer-friendly
- Let Swift newcomers start playing right away
- Provide as many useful tools, conveniences, and features as possible
First of all, you can easily create new Swift projects in an isolated, well-prepared environment.
Each stream provides a thoughtfully designed project interface, crafted with love to make maintaining your Swift project a joy.
Enhance your development experience in each stream by installing powerful features with just one click!
Server Stream includes development tools like Nginx and Ngrok, as well as hosting integrations with Fly.io, Heroku, and more.
Web Stream supports a wide range of hosting platforms, including Azure, Alibaba Cloud, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, Firebase, Fly.io, Heroku, Vercel, Yandex Cloud, and others.
