iKenndac/generate-imageasset-symbols

A little command-line application to generate a header file containing string constants for images in a .xcassets folder.

What is it?

generate-imageasset-symbols is a tiny little Mac command-line tool that creates a header file containing NSString constants for the images in the given .xcassets folder. Combined with a custom build step in your Xcode project and a bit of macro magic, it can be used to automatically give compile-time checked keys for your image names.
