This is more of a coding style question but i believe it is valid. Coming from an obj c background i always create a .h and a .m when creating a class. However with swift that changes and all that goes into a single file. I know that for some people this is cool but i miss having these two things separate.
Quoting a comment from Zaph
"What I miss is a list of public methods as opposed to searching an entire source file for methods not marked private. There is a programming concept of "writing to the interface". And the public methods should be carefully picked, not just because the developer forgot to make some private."
is there a way to have a header - implementation class in separate files using swift? Maybe some trick?
Thanks

The easiest way to expose your Swift code to Objective-C is by importing the Swift Bridging Header file (ProjectName-Swift. h, which is automatically generated by Xcode) from the Precompiled Header file.
To create a Objective-C class, you have to select "Cocoa class". This will create an . h and . m file for you.
Overview. You can work with types declared in Swift from within the Objective-C code in your project by importing an Xcode-generated header file. This file is an Objective-C header that declares the Swift interfaces in your target, and you can think of it as an umbrella header for your Swift code.
h, which is called the header file. The implementation section goes into MyClass. m, which is called the implementation file. The separation into two files is not inconvenient, because Xcode, expecting you to follow this convention, makes it easy to jump from editing a . h file to the corresponding .
May be you can use Generated Interface to view all the public methods and properties. You can find that option at the bottom of related files popup in the upper-left of the source editor window. To switch back, click Original Source in the same pop up.

This is how generated interface file looks.
