We've chosen to stand on the shoulders of giants, and follow Google's Swift styleguide and Swift API guidelines, with 2 additional rules:
-
We should try and use whatever language/syntax features the latest stable Swift compiler allows for.
-
Constructors should be as side-effect free as possible to aid with testing. Specifically, we should not do the following in a constructor:
- Heavy I/O
- Starting timers
- Scheduling work
Instead, an object should only start to operate after an explicit start() invocation.
All code should be formatted with the latest release of swiftformat. The swiftformat configuration in the
mullvadvpn-app repository is the reference configuration.
