.swift

Source file generation can be useful when doing things such as annotation processing or interacting with metadata files (e.g., database schemas, protocol formats). By generating code, you eliminate the need to write boilerplate while also keeping a single source of truth for the metadata.

Example

Here's a

HelloWorld

import RxSwift


class Greeter {
  private let name: String
  init(name: String) {
    self.name = name
  }
  func greet() -> Observable {
    return Observable.from("Hello (name)")
  }
}

And this is the code to generate it with SwiftPoet:

val observableTypeName = DeclaredTypeName.typeName("RxSwift.Observable")

val testClass = TypeSpec.classBuilder("Greeter")
   .addProperty("name", STRING, Modifier.PRIVATE)
   .addFunction(
      FunctionSpec.constructorBuilder()
         .addParameter("name", STRING)
         .addCode("self.name = name\n")
         .build()
   )
   .addFunction(
      FunctionSpec.builder("greet")
         .returns(observableTypeName.parameterizedBy(STRING))
         .addCode("return %T.from("Hello \(name)")\n", observableTypeName)
         .build()
   )
   .build()
val file = FileSpec.builder("Greeter")
   .addType(testClass)
   .build()
val out = StringWriter()
file.writeTo(out)

The KDoc catalogs the complete SwiftPoet API, which is inspired by JavaPoet.
