Clean Start

Clean Start is a remix of the Clean Swift templates.

Why Clean Start?

• Use one true brace style over the default templates Allman brace style.
• Use guard to return early in some places.
• Use extensions to organize code into logical sections.
• Provide templates for apps that manage views in code.
• Provide default access levels for classes, methods, and properties.

Templates

Templates are shared from the repo and have to be managed manually. To install the Clean Start Swift Xcode templates clone or download this repo and then:

To install templates for storyboards and view code $: make install_templates

To install templates for just storyboards $: make install_storyboard_templates

To install templates for just view code $: make install_viewcode_templates

To uninstall the Xcode templates, run:

$: make uninstall_templates

Using Clean Start

Add the pod to your Podfile

pod 'CleanStart', git: 'https://github.com/ajself/CleanStart.git'

If you are managing views in code:

Install the Clean Start pod

$: pod install

And the Clean Start pod includes only a single helpful file: ViewConfigurable.swift.

It is important to first understand Clean Swift in general, then read the following to see how Clean Start differs.

Clean Start Format

View Controllers/Views are now organized into logical sections using extensions.

1. Object lifecycle (instance specific methods such as initializers).
2. View lifecycle (instance specific methods such as viewDidLoad).
3. Inputs, sectioned into use case specific areas. This is where you place your protocol conformance methods.
4. View code only View configuration by conforming to ViewConfigurable.
