# Swift Stream IDE

Are you tired of dealing with broken projects over time, struggling to set up Swift with its many platform-specific nuances, or simply curious about trying Swift on **non-Apple platforms**? This extension is here to help!

**Swift Stream** is a powerful **IDE** for VS Code that enhances your ability to work with Swift projects beyond the traditional iOS/macOS ecosystem.

## 🐳 Containerized Swift Development

This extension enables you to write Swift code for **multiple streams** on **any platform**, all within a Docker container.

With a feature-packed and user-friendly environment, it ensures an exceptional development experience.

**[Install from the marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/?itemName=swiftstream.swiftstream)**

## 🔧 Before Installation

Ensure you have the **[Dev Containers](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers)** extension installed in VS Code.  

Additionally, make sure **[Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)** or **[Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/)** is installed and running on your machine, depending on the requirements of the **Dev Containers** extension for your platform.

## 🌊 Choose Your Stream

- **Web**: Progressive web apps using WebAssembly

- **Server**: Backend apps using Vapor and Hummingbird

- **Android**: Apps (coming soon) and libraries (available today) via JNI

- **Embedded**: ESP32-C6, Raspberry Pi Pico, STM32, nrf52

- **Pure**: Libraries, macros, CLI tools, etc.

Projects for any of these streams can be easily created via the **"Start New Project"** wizard:

## 📱 iOS, macOS, etc.

For **iOS**, **macOS**, and other Apple platforms, you still need to use **Xcode**.

## 🖥️ Where Does It Work?

Literally anywhere VS Code is available!

On Windows, Linux, and macOS, you'll have the **same experience** since your code and tools always run inside the same containerized environment — powered by Docker + DevContainer or via SSH tunnel.

## 💁‍♂️ Why Choose Containerized Development?

- Keeps your machine clean — no more toolchain and CLI-tools mess  

- Even very old projects will still compile, since they retain the original environment  

- You can deploy binaries compiled inside the container immediately  

- Easily switch between toolchains with one click  

- Work on a slow device by tunneling into a more powerful machine or server via SSH

## 🌷 Main Goals

- Stay developer-friendly  

- Let Swift newcomers start playing right away  

- Provide as many useful tools, conveniences, and features as possible

## 🧰 Functionality

First of all, you can easily create new Swift projects in an isolated, well-prepared environment.

Each stream provides a thoughtfully designed project interface, crafted with love to make maintaining your Swift project a joy.

## 💎 Features Collection

Enhance your development experience in each stream by installing powerful features with just one click!

**Server Stream** includes development tools like **Nginx** and **Ngrok**, as well as hosting integrations with **Fly.io**, **Heroku**, and more.

**Web Stream** supports a wide range of hosting platforms, including **Azure**, **Alibaba Cloud**, **Cloudflare**, **DigitalOcean**, **Firebase**, **Fly.io**, **Heroku**, **Vercel**, **Yandex Cloud**, and others.
