An opinionated template for creating reusable Swift 6 modules with best practices and tooling.
Swift 6 Module Template is a project generator that scaffolds reusable Swift 6 modules with built-in best practices. It solves the problem of repetitive setup by providing a pre-configured template with testing, packaging, and documentation tools. Developers can quickly create modules that are ready for distribution and integration into other projects.
Swift developers and teams building reusable libraries, frameworks, or packages for iOS, macOS, or cross-platform Swift projects. It is especially useful for open-source maintainers and organizations standardizing their Swift module development.
It saves significant setup time by providing an opinionated, production-tested foundation. Unlike starting from scratch, it ensures consistency, includes automated CI/CD, and follows community best practices out of the box.
An opinionated starting point for awesome, reusable Swift 6 modules
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Modules are immediately usable as dependencies via SPM, saving integration time, as stated in the README's 'Ability to be used from Swift Package Manager' feature.
Includes pre-configured GitHub Actions workflows for testing, ensuring code quality from the start, based on the README's mention of 'Turnkey access to GitHub Actions testing recommended by the Swift project.'
Provides a clean, convention-based folder organization that follows Swift best practices, reducing decision overhead, as highlighted in the README's 'Clean folder structure' feature.
Comes with an example SwiftUI app to showcase module functionality, aiding in development and documentation, per the README's 'Included example/demo app using SwiftUI.'
Defaults to the MIT license, making it easy for open-source distribution without legal hurdles, as noted in the README's 'MIT license' feature.
The template is designed specifically for Swift 6, so it's not suitable for projects using older Swift versions, limiting backward compatibility without manual adjustments.
Enforces a specific project structure and tooling, which might clash with existing team workflows or preferences for customization, as implied by the 'convention over configuration' philosophy.
The configure script requires environment variables for automation, which can be cumbersome for simple use cases or if errors occur during generation, as detailed in the README's automation section.
Relies on Xcode projects for management, which may not align with command-line or cross-platform development environments that avoid Xcode, per the README's 'Use a Xcode project to manage your code.'
