Usage of SwiftyVIPER

Installing Templates

If you’re looking for VIPER architecture templates to use directly within Xcode, you can find these in the /Templates/VIPER folder. Open your terminal and run:

cd PATH/TO/REPO

Then, simply run this command in your terminal:

mkdir -p ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/File\ Templates
cp -R Templates/VIPER ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/File\ Templates

Adding a Module

Once you’ve installed the VIPER Templates, you’re ready to add a module. Select File > New > File or use press ⌘N to bring up the template selector. You’ll find the templates at the bottom.

Choose Module for a normal module, Module Storyboard for a normal module that interacts with Storyboards, or Module Tests for a module unit tests template.

Next, choose the Module name. We’ll go with Custom.

This will create 5 files per module:

• CustomModule.swift
• CustomViewController.swift
• CustomPresenter.swift
• CustomRouter.swift
• CustomInteractor.swift

Don’t forget to target your main app. Once you’ve added the main template, go ahead and add the Unit Test template. Make sure it’s the same name! In this case, we’d stay with Custom.

Using SwiftyVIPER

Simply add a new module using the VIPER template. Once done, simply call:

import SwiftyVIPER

CustomModule().present(from: self.viewController, style: .coverVertical, completion: nil)

The module will handle the rest, including initializing and attaching all the connections necessary for the Module to show properly.
