InitMacro

Read my article on Macros in TradeRepublic's engineering blog: Get Ready for Swift Macros

This repo showcases a Swift Macro implementation that generates initializers for classes and structs. It's intended as a playground to explore this fantastic new feature in Swift.

I'm not an expert, so this implementation might not cover all possible cases. If you come across an unsupported case, please create an issue to let us know.

Contributions are highly encouraged and warmly welcomed. Feel free to contribute!

Parameters

defaults: [String: Any]

Set this if there are properties that will have an initial value.

wildcards: [String]

Set this if there are properties that will have an underscore before their name.

public: Bool

In case the initializer needs to be internal, set this to false.

Originally, this macro was built with public initializers in mind, since internal generators can be implicit in certain cases.

Signature

@Init(
	defaults: [String: Any], // default [:]
	wildcards: [String], // default []
	public: Bool // default true
)

Usage

Area.2023-06-17.01.36.53.Jun.17.2023.0138.AM.mp4

Testing

Open the example app and use your creativity.

Known Issues

  1. It doesn't support adding a default closure
  2. The compiler can complain about Undefined symbol: ___llvm_profile_runtime. This is a bug in the current betas:
    • It can be bypassed for now by adding linkerSettings: [.unsafeFlags(["-fprofile-instr-generate"])] to your macro target.
