About:
Sourcery is a powerful meta-programming tool that automatically generates repetitive Swift code like `Equatable`, `Hashable`, and `Codable` conformance. By scanning your source code and applying user-defined templates, it significantly reduces boilerplate and maintenance overhead. This allows developers to focus on core application logic rather than repetitive implementation details.
|
Key Features:
- Automatic code generation using Stencil templates
- Supports generating `Equatable`, `Hashable`, `Codable`, and custom protocols
- Annotation-based scanning to target specific types or properties
- Integrates seamlessly with Xcode and build systems
- Live editing mode for real-time template updates
|
Use Cases:
- Generating boilerplate model code (Equatable, Hashable, Codable)
- Creating dependency injection boilerplate
- Generating view model bindings for SwiftUI
- Automating protocol stubs for testing
|
Alternatives:
-
Swift-Macro
– Apple's native solution; Sourcery offers more flexibility for complex logic and doesn't require a compiler plugin.
-
Rswift
– Focuses on type-safe resource access, whereas Sourcery is a general-purpose code generator.
