Xcode 8 source code extension that automatically generates Swift Equatable protocol conformance for structs and classes.
Swift Equatable Generator was an Xcode 8 Source Code Extension that automatically generated conformance to Swift's Equatable protocol for structs and classes. It allowed developers to select which fields to include in equality comparisons, eliminating the need to manually write repetitive boilerplate code. The tool integrated directly into Xcode's editor menu for seamless workflow integration.
Swift developers working in Xcode 8 on macOS Sierra who needed to implement Equatable conformance for their structs and classes.
It saved developers time by automating the tedious process of writing Equatable implementations, reducing errors and boilerplate code. The Xcode integration made it convenient to use directly within the development environment without switching contexts.
Xcode 8 Source Code Extension will generate conformance to Swift Equatable protocol based on type and fields selection.

Generates Equatable conformance for structs or classes with a single command, saving time by eliminating manual code writing, as shown in the demo GIF.
Allows developers to choose which fields to include in equality comparisons, offering flexibility over default compiler synthesis, as highlighted in the key features.
Works directly within Xcode as a Source Code Extension, reducing context switching by integrating into the editor menu for convenient use.
The project is marked as deprecated and only supports Xcode 8 and macOS Sierra, making it obsolete for modern Swift development with native compiler support.
Requires manual steps like signing, archiving, and enabling extensions, which is cumbersome compared to contemporary package managers or built-in tools.
Lacks support for enums and has potential bugs, as admitted in the TODO section, reducing its usefulness for comprehensive Equatable implementation.
