swift package-collection search

Search for packages by keywords or module names.

Overview

This subcommand searches for packages by keywords or module names within imported collections. The result can optionally be returned as JSON using --json for integration into other tools.

String-based search

The search command does a string-based search when using the --keywords option and returns the list of packages that matches the query:

$ swift package-collection search [--json] --keywords yaml
https://github.com/jpsim/yams: A sweet and swifty YAML parser built on LibYAML.
...

Module-based search

The search command does a search for a specific module name when using the --module option:

$ swift package-collection search [--json] --module yams
Package Name: Yams
Latest Version: 4.0.0
Description: A sweet and swifty YAML parser built on LibYAML.

–json

Output as JSON

–keywords|module

Pick the method for searching.

search-query

The search query.

–package-path=<package-path>

Specify the package path to operate on (default current directory). This changes the working directory before any other operation.

–cache-path=<cache-path>

Specify the shared cache directory path.

–config-path=<config-path>

Specify the shared configuration directory path.

–security-path=<security-path>

Specify the shared security directory path.

–scratch-path=<scratch-path>

Specify a custom scratch directory path. (default .build)

–swift-sdks-path=<swift-sdks-path>

Path to the directory containing installed Swift SDKs.

–toolset=<toolset>

Specify a toolset JSON file to use when building for the target platform. Use the option multiple times to specify more than one toolset. Toolsets will be merged in the order they’re specified into a single final toolset for the current build.

–pkg-config-path=<pkg-config-path>

Specify alternative path to search for pkg-config .pc files. Use the option multiple times to specify more than one path.

–enable-dependency-cache|disable-dependency-cache

Use a shared cache when fetching dependencies.

–enable-build-manifest-caching|disable-build-manifest-caching
–manifest-cache=<manifest-cache>

Caching mode of Package.swift manifests. Valid values are: (shared: shared cache, local: package’s build directory, none: disabled)

–enable-experimental-prebuilts|disable-experimental-prebuilts

Whether to use prebuilt swift-syntax libraries for macros.

–verbose

Increase verbosity to include informational output.

–very-verbose|vv

Increase verbosity to include debug output.

–quiet

Decrease verbosity to only include error output.

–color-diagnostics|no-color-diagnostics

Enables or disables color diagnostics when printing to a TTY. By default, color diagnostics are enabled when connected to a TTY and disabled otherwise.

–disable-sandbox

Disable using the sandbox when executing subprocesses.

–netrc

Use netrc file even in cases where other credential stores are preferred.

–enable-netrc|disable-netrc

Load credentials from a netrc file.

–netrc-file=<netrc-file>

Specify the netrc file path.

–enable-keychain|disable-keychain

Search credentials in macOS keychain.

–resolver-fingerprint-checking=<resolver-fingerprint-checking>
–resolver-signing-entity-checking=<resolver-signing-entity-checking>
–enable-signature-validation|disable-signature-validation

Validate signature of a signed package release downloaded from registry.

–enable-prefetching|disable-prefetching
–force-resolved-versions|disable-automatic-resolution|only-use-versions-from-resolved-file

Only use versions from the Package.resolved file and fail resolution if it is out-of-date.

–skip-update

Skip updating dependencies from their remote during a resolution.

–disable-scm-to-registry-transformation

Disable source control to registry transformation.

–use-registry-identity-for-scm

Look up source control dependencies in the registry and use their registry identity when possible to help deduplicate across the two origins.

–replace-scm-with-registry

Look up source control dependencies in the registry and use the registry to retrieve them instead of source control when possible.

–default-registry-url=<default-registry-url>

Default registry URL to use, instead of the registries.json configuration file.
