Xcode Snippets

My collection of useful Xcode code snippets! It has been a great time-saver for me so I decided to share it with everyone :)

Using these Snippets

• Go to your Xcode user's code snippets directory. Create one if it doesn't exist. open ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets
• In that folder, you can either:
  • run git init, then git pull https://github.com/hlung/Xcode-Snippets to that folder (recommended, easy update), OR...
  • download ZIP of this repo, extract .codesnippet files to that folder
• Restart Xcode.
• Enjoy!

Note: Each code snippet has a unique IDECodeSnippetIdentifier key, which Xcode generates when I created each snippet. There's a small chance that they will collide with your existing snippets. Fingers crossed.

Creating your own Snippets

In Xcode 4 or 5, open a workspace and toggle the right sidebar to be visible. On the bottom, there is a panel with four icons in the header. Click on the { } icon to open the Code Snippets Library.

Highlight your code block and drag it to the Code Snippet panel. Make sure to match the suggested platform, language, and completion scope.
