A lightweight Swift wrapper for CodeMirror that provides a native code editor component for macOS and iOS apps.
CodeMirror-Swift is a Swift package that provides a lightweight wrapper around the CodeMirror web-based code editor for macOS and iOS applications. It allows developers to embed a fully-featured code editor component in their native Apple apps with minimal configuration. The package handles the integration between Swift and CodeMirror's JavaScript-based editor, making it accessible through native APIs.
iOS and macOS developers who need to embed a code editor in their applications, such as those building development tools, text editors, or apps requiring code input and syntax highlighting.
Developers choose CodeMirror-Swift because it provides a ready-to-use, native Swift wrapper for CodeMirror with built-in themes and addons, eliminating the need to manually integrate the web-based editor. It offers a balance between CodeMirror's rich features and native performance on Apple platforms.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Built with 100% native Swift 5 and modern WKWebView, enabling easy embedding in iOS and macOS apps with minimal setup, as demonstrated in the README's installation via SPM.
Includes dozens of built-in themes and syntax highlight modes, plus support for custom addons, leveraging CodeMirror's extensive capabilities out of the box.
Works on both iOS and macOS, allowing developers to use a single codebase for editor components across Apple platforms without separate implementations.
Requires minimal configuration to start, with preloaded themes and examples provided, reducing initial setup time for embedding a code editor.
Wraps CodeMirror 5.52.2, an older version that lacks newer features and improvements from CodeMirror 6, such as modern APIs and enhanced performance.
Adding themes or enabling addons requires manual editing of the index.html file, which is error-prone and less intuitive for Swift-focused developers.
Relies on WKWebView for rendering, which can introduce performance bottlenecks, increased app size, and potential issues with offline functionality compared to native components.
