Using this definition with an existing folder

While the definition itself works unmodified, you can select the version of Swift the container uses by updating the VARIANT arg in the included devcontainer.json (and rebuilding if you've already created the container).

"args": { "VARIANT": "4" }

Given how frequently web applications use Node.js for front end code, this container also includes an optional install of Node.js. You can enable installation and change the version of Node.js installed or disable its installation by updating the args property in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json.

"args": {
    "VARIANT": "4",
    "INSTALL_NODE": "true",
    "NODE_VERSION": "10",
}
