VIPER-modular-template

Template generator based on VIPER Architecture for Xcode.

This project contains the settings which I personaly use to generate all modules and clases for my projects.

About VIPER

VIPER is a backronym for View, Interactor, Presenter, Entity and Router. It’s basically an approach that implements the Single Responsibility Principle to create a cleaner and more modular structure for your iOS project. You can learn more about it in this blog post.

Installation

• Clone the repository
• Go to the project directory and run command: sudo swift install.swift

Manual

• Download VIPER Template or clone the project
• Copy the Design Pattern folder to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/File Templates/ or create a symbolic link to that folder.

Using the template

• Start Xcode and create a new group for your VIPER module
• Create a new file (File > New > File or ⌘N)
• Choose Design Pattern and VIPER Files
• Set the module name in specified text box and click Ok.

Created Files

• Contract/[moduleName]Contract.swift
• Interactor/[moduleName]Interactor.swift
• Presenter/[moduleName]Presenter.swift
• View/[moduleName]View.swift
• View/[moduleName]Storyboard.storyboard
• WireFrame/WireFrame.swift

One more steps: The generated folder w'll be imported as a reference. We have to convert to a group. The simplest solution is to remove the folder reference manually and import them as a group.

1. Right click on the main module[moduleName].
2. Select "Delete" button.
3. Select "Remove Reference" button.
4. Right click on module from your project where you want to add it.
5. Select "Add files to [your-project-name]".
6. Select generated VIPER module.

This is necessary to do because Xcode recognize generated files as simple folders and files.
