| ## Objective-C and clang-format |
| |
| We use [clang-format](http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html) to automatically format our |
| Objective-C code. If you're going to be contributing more than a few one-off patches, then to reduce |
| the time it takes to reveiw code, we suggest installing clang-format as an Xcode plugin and have it |
| format your code whenever you write to disk. |
| |
| ### Installing clang-format |
| |
| You can install clang-format via [Brew](http://brew.sh/) by running |
| `scripts/install/install_clang_format`. |
| |
| ### Installing the Xcode plugin |
| |
| You can install |
| [Travis Jeffery's clang-format Xcode plugin](https://github.com/travisjeffery/ClangFormat-Xcode) |
| by following his |
| [installation instructions](https://github.com/travisjeffery/ClangFormat-Xcode#installation). |
| |
| Once you've installed it configure it in Xcode: |
| |
| 1. `Edit > Clang Format > File` to use MDC's particular clang-format configuration file. |
| 1. `Edit > Clang Format > Use System ClangFormat` to ensure that you're using the same version of |
| clang-format as we are. |
