Implicitly import specific Swift module

I use a third party Swift framework in my Swift app very often and would like to use it without having to write import ModuleName in every single Swift file over and over again.

Is there a way to specify default imports like it was possible in Objective-C using a .pch file?

I already checked Xcode build settings and swiftc flags but none of them offers this functionality.

Actually there's a very easy workaround I could have thought about earlier…

Simply add the following to your app project's Objective-C bridging header:

@import ModuleName;

Swift will pick it up too! No need for import ModuleName in every Swift file where you intend to use the module.

No, there is no Swift analogue for Objective-C .pch files.

One could ostensibly reduce the number of import statements by creating an umbrella target framework that includes a number of other modules, but there's no way to avoid explicit imports of dependent modules outright.
