Tuist VS swift-format

At my current workplace, we use Tuist. It's a great tool, but there are 20 of us, so it's necessary. In smaller teams (up to 5-7 people) I didn't feel like there were huge problems with .xcodeproj. Sure, some conflicts now and then, but far from every time you merge something. https://github.com/tuist/tuist

Tuist Projects ('Project.swift'), Swift packages ('Package.swift'), and barebone xcodeproj are now supported.

On a project I worked on I transitioned the codebase to a micro framework setup using tuist.io.

I think the hate comes from seeing its unresponsiveness and slow builds in large-scale projects. Everything works great in a recently-creates project until your project turns into a complex dependency graph of targets with intricate and inconsistent build settings. That’s the main reason why we are building https://tuist.io

Curious why you guys built XCodeJS instead of going with XcodeGen or Tuist

I actually don't see anything worth changing. It looks good to me. I think the most important thing is just to maintain the constructive attitude you already have about future-you dealing with the code, because only future-you will really know where you could have done better. One personal-preference thing I carried over from working on Go code is to look for a tool like gofmt [1,2] for Swift. I've been using swift-format [3] for about 2 years and haven't been dissatisfied enough to reach for something more fully featured like SwiftLint [4]. I didn't like the idea at first of delegating most formatting control over to a tool designed with someone else's subjective idea of formatting. But my feeling afterward was that it was freeing: it was no longer (completely) my job/burden/responsibility. An "assistant" would clean up the formatting of my code every time I saved the file. That's a nightmare if you can't configure the tool as much as you need, but if you're lucky and find a configuration you can live with, it lets you focus more on naming and other conventions that aren't so easily automated (yet).

if you want your code to be formatted with a specific set of rules in mind, you can forward the generated code to a formatting utility, e.g. swift-format

VERSION=0.50500.0 # replace this with the version you need git clone https://github.com/apple/swift-format.git cd swift-format git checkout "tags/$VERSION" swift build -c release ln -s /usr/local/bin/swift-format .build/release/swift-format

Apple literally provides a version that you can integrate into Xcode should you wish to.

swift-format works across different platforms and does a pretty good job with minimal configuration fuss.
