PrintlnMagic

An alternative for Swift’s println() along the lines of DLog

Background

If you’re like me, you miss seeing the filename, method name, and/or line number in your println() statements in your Swift projects.

Fear not, PrintlnMagic is here to bring you back to the good old days of DLog.

Changelog (v1.2.1)

• Updated method println() method description and README based on #2.

Installation

• CocoaPods
  • pod 'PrintlnMagic'
  • Make sure to call import PrintlnMagic in the files you want to use it. This is a CocoaPods-specific step.

• Manual
  • Copy the PrintlnMagic.swift file into your project

Usage

magic()

Replace all the println() statements in your project with magic().

println()

Before Xcode 6.3, all instances of println() were automaticlaly overridden by the redefined println() method in PrintlnMagic.swift.

After Xcode 6.3, and thanks to some handy-work on the part of Jesse Squires in Issue #2, you can override println() using MyAppName.println(). In this example, MyAppName is the name attached to your .xcodeproj.

Example

Before PrintlnMagic, your console will display the following from println():

This is a test string.

After PrintlnMagic, your console will display the following from magic() and/or MyAppName.println():

ViewController.viewDidLoad()[15]: This is a test string.
// ViewController is the filename
// viewDidLoad() is the name of the function 
// [15] is the line number
