I tried to follow this documentation https://github.com/apple/swift-syntax/blob/main/Sources/SwiftSyntax/Documentation.docc/Working%20with%20SwiftSyntax.md#building-syntax-trees

In my Package.swift:

    .package(url: "https://github.com/apple/swift-syntax", exact: "508.0.0"),
...
            dependencies: [
                .product(name: "SwiftSyntax", package: "swift-syntax"),
                .product(name: "SwiftParser", package: "swift-syntax")
            ]),
...

In my code:

import SwiftSyntax
import SwiftParser

func createClass(named name: String) -> ClassDeclSyntax {
  return """
         class \(raw: name) {}
         """
}

Error received:

Cannot convert return expression of type 'String' to return type 'ClassDeclSyntax'
