Stop writing boilerplate code yourself. Let hackman do it for you via the command line.

Overview

HackMan is an innovative tool designed to streamline the tedious process of boilerplate code generation directly from the command line. By taking inspiration from the efficient Rails command, HackMan aims to alleviate the repetitive nature of coding tasks, allowing developers to focus on more critical aspects of their projects. This package manager-compatible tool is not only easy to install but also offers a range of features that enhance productivity, making it an invaluable asset for Swift developers.

Features

  • Command Line Interface: HackMan operates seamlessly via the command line, enabling quick and effective generation of code without needing to switch contexts.

  • Project Structure Generation: Easily scaffold new projects, models, and controllers with minimal input, making setup rapid and straightforward.

  • Custom Type Support: You can specify custom types for properties in your models, offering greater flexibility to align with your project’s specific needs.

  • Multiple Fields Creation: When generating scaffolds, you can specify multiple fields simultaneously, speeding up the model creation process significantly.

  • String Type Defaulting: If you omit the property type during generation, HackMan defaults to String, simplifying the coding process for common properties.

  • Compatibility with Swift: Built for users of Xcode 10 and Swift 5, ensuring that it integrates smoothly into modern development environments.

  • Future Enhancements: Plans for adding SwiftUI based templates and support for localization generators indicate a continual evolution of the tool for expanding developer needs.
