Add .editorconfig for consistent code formatting (#38)
Xcode 16 added support for the [EditorConfig standard](https://editorconfig.org/)[^1]. This allows a project/repo to specify basic formatting rules so the editor can behave correctly.[^2] > [!NOTE] > You may need to quit and relaunch Xcode for it to pick up the `.editorconfig` file after switching to a branch where it's present.[^3] The added `.editorconfig` file contains: ``` # editorconfig.org root = true [*] indent_style = space indent_size = 2 trim_trailing_whitespace = true insert_final_newline = true ``` - `root = true`: Specifies that this is the top-most .editorconfig file. The file search will stop here. - `indent_style = space`: Uses soft tabs (spaces) for indentation instead of hard tabs. - `indent_size = 2`: Sets the indentation to 2 columns. - `trim_trailing_whitespace = true`: Removes any whitespace characters preceding newline characters. - `insert_final_newline = true`: Ensures the file ends with a newline when saving. These settings apply to all files in the project (`[*]`). **This change make much easier the process of switch between projects that use 2-space and 4-space indentation (what is quite common in your community).** [^1]: [Xcode 16 Beta 2 Release Notes–Source Editor New Features](https://arc.net/l/quote/zuzqnfeq) [^2]: Inspired by: [Add an EditorConfig file](swiftlang/swift-syntax#2714) [^3]: [Xcode 16 Beta 2 Release Notes–Source Editor Known Issues](https://arc.net/l/quote/olmnhsqo)
