Qlift-uic

Description

qlift-uic takes a Qt5 user interface description file and compiles it to Swift code for use with QLift. Splitted from main QLift repo.

Use with Swift package manager plugin

Add dependency to your swift package manifest:

    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/DimaRU/QliftUIC", branch: "master"),
    ],

Then add plugin to target declaration:

plugins: [
    .plugin(name: "QliftUICPlugin", package: "QliftUIC"),
]
