About:
Configen is a command-line utility that generates Swift configuration files from JSON or Plist inputs. It streamlines the management of build settings and environment variables in Xcode projects. The tool helps maintain consistency and reduces manual errors by automating code generation.
Key Features:
  • Generates Swift code from JSON/Plist definitions
  • Supports custom templates for flexible output
  • Integrates easily into Xcode build phases
  • Ensures type-safe configuration access
Use Cases:
  • Managing environment-specific API keys and endpoints
  • Generating version and build number constants
  • Centralizing app configuration for multiple targets
Alternatives:
  • SwiftGen – SwiftGen focuses on assets, strings, and colors, whereas Configen is specialized for generic configuration data.
  • Manual Swift files – Manual editing is error-prone and harder to maintain compared to Configen's automated, source-of-truth approach.
