When you decide to use VIPER architecture in your project, it is very tired create new modules, because you need create at least 5 files for each. Imagine that you need to create 6 modules...I was suffering this problem, and this is the raison why I've created this template. It's very useful for me and I hope that for you too.

How to install

Using script (easy)

Only need execute this command in terminal:

sudo swift install.swift

You should be this output message:

If all it's ok you now could find your template in Xcode.

Manual

Go to Application folder, browse to the Xcode application icon. Right-click it and choose 'Show Package Contents'. Then browse to: Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates/iOS/Application and add "Module VIPER.xctemplate" file. Now you can find your template in Xcode.

Easy to use

Generated code

This template generates all files that you need to create a new VIPER module. All generated code is Swift 4.

This is an example, we're creating a Login module:

• Default, without divide
• With divided Interactor (Input & Output)
