# Swift Coding Style
> This file extends [common/coding-style.md](../common/coding-style.md) with Swift specific content.
## Formatting
- **SwiftFormat** for auto-formatting, **SwiftLint** for style enforcement
- `swift-format` is bundled with Xcode 16+ as an alternative
## Immutability
- Prefer `let` over `var` — define everything as `let` and only change to `var` if the compiler requires it
- Use `struct` with value semantics by default; use `class` only when identity or reference semantics are needed
## Naming
Follow [Apple API Design Guidelines](https://www.swift.org/documentation/api-design-guidelines/):
- Clarity at the point of use — omit needless words
- Name methods and properties for their roles, not their types
- Use `static let` for constants over global constants
## Error Handling
Use typed throws (Swift 6+) and pattern matching:
```swift
func load(id: String) throws(LoadError) -> Item {
guard let data = try? read(from: path) else {
throw .fileNotFound(id)
}
return try decode(data)
}
```
## Concurrency
Enable Swift 6 strict concurrency checking. Prefer:
- `Sendable` value types for data crossing isolation boundaries
- Actors for shared mutable state
- Structured concurrency (`async let`, `TaskGroup`) over unstructured `Task {}`
