RIBsCodeGen generates RIBs boilerplate. Router, Interactor, Builder and ViewController are created automatically following its templates.
This tool also resolves the dependencies between parent and child RIB. Not only add the ComponentExtension file but also add the child listener and builder to parent Router, Builder.
Additionally, the operation is enable to run for multiple RIBs. If writes the RIBs tree by Markdown list style, this tool generates all RIBs following the tree.
Let's save time to create RIBs as much as possible.
- Generate Router, Interactor, Builder, ViewController following template
- Generate ComponentExtension following template
- Add child listener and builder to parent Router and Builder file
- Bulk generation following RIBs tree
- Remove the RIB and the related codes
- Rename the RIB directories, files and the related codes
- Customise rename targets
add .ribscodegen file to the current directory the operation runs. RIBsCodeGen loads this setting file before runs the below commands.
targetDirectory: "Sample"
templateDirectory: "Templates"
targetDirectory is RIBs source codes directory. This tool loads RIBs files under the target directory. And the output is generated to the target directory.
RIBs templates are added to templateDirectory. The hierarchy is the below.
- ComponentExtension
- ComponentExtension.swift
- Default
- Router.swift
- Interactor.swift
- Builder.swift
- OwnsView
- Router.swift
- Interactor.swift
- Builder.swift
- ViewController.swift
Template file is based on Xcode template style. Refer to sample Templates for the detail.
scaffold, it is bulk generation command. Loads the RIBs tree and generates files and directories, then resolves the dependencies for its parent.
This operation is combination of add and link commands.
swift run ribscodegen scaffold ribstree.md --parent SampleParent
Write RIBs tree as Markfown like the below.
- **Node1**
- Node2
- Node3
- Node4
- **Node5**
- Node6
Show the hierarchy as list style ( - ). Add bold style ( ** ) for Viewless RIB.
add, it is just creating a single RIB command.
swift run ribscodegen add Demo
The below files are generated.
- Demo/DemoRouter.swift
- Demo/DemoInteractor.swift
- Demo/DemoBuilder.swift
- Demo/DemoViewController.swift
If wants to create viewless RIB, add --noview command.
add command with --parent option, it is creating a single RIB and resolving the dependency for its parent.
swift run ribscodegen add Demo --parent SampleParent
The below files are generated.
- Demo/DemoRouter.swift
- Demo/DemoInteractor.swift
- Demo/DemoBuilder.swift
- Demo/DemoViewController.swift
- SampleParent/Dependencies/SampleParentComponent+Demo.swift
And the below files would be updated for resolving dependency.
- SampleParent/SampleParentRouter.swift
- SampleParent/SampleParentBuilder.swift
link command, it is resolving dependency for the parent. If there are reusable RIBs, the command is useful.
swift run ribscodegen link Demo --parent SampleParent
The below files are generated.
- SampleParent/Dependencies/SampleParentComponent+Demo.swift
And the below files would be updated for resolving dependency.
- SampleParent/SampleParentRouter.swift
- SampleParent/SampleParentBuilder.swift
unlink command, it is deleting dependency from the parent.
swift run ribscodegen unlink Demo --parent SampleParent
This command uses replacingOccurrences method, there's no guarantee to delete perfectly. ( regular expression option is used. )
The deleting codes are managed by .ribscodegen_unlink file. The example is here.
The below words are replaced to concrete RIB name.
__PARENT_RIB_NAME____RIB_NAME____RIB_NAME_LOWER_CASED_FIRST_LETTER__
rename command, it is renaming RIB name. Related protocols, classes, methods and some codes are renamed. Additionally, the directory and file name is renamed as well.
swift run ribscodegen rename Sample NewSample
This command uses replacingOccurrences method, there's no guarantee to rename perfectly. ( regular expression option is NOT used. )
The replaced text is managed by .ribscodegen_rename file.
if run ribscodegen rename Sample NewSample command with the below condition,
interactor:
- "protocol __RIB_NAME__Routing:"
RIBsCodeGen reads SampleInteractor.swift file, search protocol SampleRouting: and replace it with protocol NewSampleRouting: .
.ribscodegen_rename setting example is here.
remove command, it is deleting the target RIB after deleting the dependencies for its all parent.
swift run ribscodegen remove Sample
unlink command is used in remove. Deleting the dependencies for it all parent, remove the target RIB directory and files.
help command, it is checking the tool usage.
swift run ribscodegen help
