How to write a new Extension

Add definition in Plist:

<dict>
    <key>XCSourceEditorCommandClassName</key>
    <string>aClassName</string>
    <key>XCSourceEditorCommandIdentifier</key>
    <string>test.extension</string>
    <key>XCSourceEditorCommandName</key>
    <string>Test Extension</string>
</dict>

Map handlers in class:

// Implement your modify strategy using block (you can implement as singleton dict)
// @{ @"commandIdentifier": handlerBlock }
- (NSDictionary *)handlers {
    static NSDictionary *_instance;
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        _instance = @{
            @"test.extension": ^NSString *(NSString *text) { return text; }
        };
    });
    return _instance;
}

Handle with regex:

// Override performCommandWithInvocation like that
- (void)performCommandWithInvocation:(XCSourceEditorCommandInvocation *)invocation completionHandler:(void (^)(NSError * _Nullable nilOrError))completionHandler {
    [xTextModifier select:invocation pattern:@"regex" handler:self.handlers[invocation.commandIdentifier]];
    completionHandler(nil);
}

TODO

• More strategy for xFormat
• Error handling
• Preferences panel
• JavaScript for text handling

Tips

Since Xcode 8.0 beta (8S128d) is totally unstable now, you may see nothing after you build & run this project :(
