Swift Macros 🚀

Swift Macros have brought in a new wave of possibilities. The aim of this project is to curate a list of community-created Macros and associated learning resources.

A lot of use-cases my Sourcery covered before can now be implemented by Swift Macros.

Learning Resources 📚

Tools

Swift AST Explorer
- This is extremely helpful when working with SwiftSyntax, I used this when writing Sourcery parser and you can leverage it to build your own Macros.

Apple:

Dive into Swift Macros with these WWDC sessions:

Write Swift Macros: An introductory session on Macros, their roles, and workings with a basic example.
Expand Swift Macros: A deeper exploration into crafting your Macros and testing their functionality.

Other Apple Resources:

Macros: The Official Step-by-Step Guide to Using Macros for Compile-Time Code Generation in Swift.
Example Swift Macros: Check out real-world examples from Apple, like @AddCompletionHandler and @AddAsync.

Community Blogs

- Francesco goes over creating your first macro with testing and some interesting tidbits.

- Sergey goes over creating a macro for a memberwise initaliser step by step with tests and convenience methods for SwiftSyntax

Macros 💻

SwiftUI

EnvironmentValues & EnvironmentValue: Bypass boilerplate code and swiftly support new SwiftUI Environment Keys and Values.
SFSymbols Macro: A Swift Macro for "type-safe" SF Symbols.

Models

Coding Keys: Effortlessly generate CodingKeys for converting snake_case to lowerCamelCase.
Coding Keys: A Swift Macro for automating CodingKeys creation in Codable structs. Supports custom string mappings for properties.
Builder pattern: Apply the Builder Pattern with ease by generating a Builder helper class, mimicking stored properties of the associated struct.
EnhancedMirror: An experimental Mirror alternative that utilizes Swift Macros for static reflection.

Testing

Power Assert: Adds assertions that can automatically produce information about the values being evaluated, and present it in an easily digestible form.
Spyable: A Swift macro that simplifies and automates the process of creating spies for testing. Using the @Spyable annotation on a protocol, the macro generates a spy class that implements the same interface as the protocol and keeps track of interactions with its methods and properties.

Networking

SwiftRequest: SwiftRequest is a lightweight, type-safe HTTP client for Swift, streamlining the construction and execution of HTTP request build on top of Macros.

Enums

ExtractCaseValue: A Swift macro that extracts associated values from enum cases.

Misc

MacroKit: A collection of macros including:
- @PublicInit: Generate public memberwise init
- @GenerateMock: Create a mock object for testing from a protocol
- @KeyPathIterable: Like CaseIterable but for available keypaths on a type
- @StaticMemberIterable: Like CaseIterable but for available static members on a type
- More to come...
InitMacro: A Swift Macro implementation that generates initializers for classes and structs with support for default values, wildcards and access control.
AssociatedObject: A Swift Macro for adding stored properties in Extension to classes defined in external modules, etc.
(This is implemented by wrapping objc_getAssociatedObject/objc_setAssociatedObject.)
UtilityType: UtilityType is an innovative library designed to realize TypeScript's UtilityTypes in Swift. See more details: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/utility-types.html
- @Partial,@Required: Constructs a type with all properties set to optional(@Partial) or require(@Required). This utility will return a type that represents all subsets of a given type.
- @Pick,@Omit: Constructs a type by picking(@Pick) or removing(@Omit) the set of specific properties keys (only string literal) from attached Type.
- @Exclude,@Extract: Constructs a type by excluding(@Exclude) or extracting(@Extract) from enum all cases.
- @Parameters: Constructs a tuple type from the types used in the parameters of a function type.
- @ReturnType: Constructs a type consisting of the return type of function.
Reuse Identifier: A Reuse Identifier Macro that is useful in generation of a reuse id for your UICollectionViewCells and UITableViewCells
