How to autocomplete enum switch using Xcode?

Question

Let say you have an enum:

typedef enum {
    Sunday,
    Monday,
    Tuesday,
    Wednesday,
    Thursday,
    Friday,
    Saturday
} DayOfWeek;

when writing a switch statement, a Xcode is trying to help with switch statement snippet:

and then:

great, but I need to list all enums:

DayOfWeek day = ...; // a day of week
switch (day) {
    case Sunday:
        break;
    case Monday:
        break;
    case Tuesday:
        break;
    case Wednesday:
        break;
    case Thursday:
        break;
    case Friday:
        break;
    case Saturday:
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

Unfortunately, have to do it manually :( Is there any known snippet to populate all cases? Of course I saw some answers 3 years old states that it is impossible, but maybe something changed since that time? Any ideas?

Answer 1

Short Answer :

Use Editor > Refactor > Add Missing Switch Cases

Convenient way :

1. Open Preferences by pressing [command] + [,] in Xcode.
2. Go to Key Bindings tab and set a shortcut for the command Refactor > Add Missing Switch Cases.
3. Input the shortcut in editor. Be sure the cursor is on switch letters.

Answer 2

Saw your question and decided to build an Xcode plugin that does exactly that.

Answer 3

in Xcode 10 do the following

1. add switch...case template and set your enum type instead of self so that xcode understands what it should autocomplete

2. move cursor inside word switch and go to menu > editor > refactor > expand switch cases

This is what you will get as result
