Swift Initializer Generator
===========================

This Xcode Source Code Extension will generate a Swift initializer based on the lines you've selected. Handy if you made a struct public and now you have to provide the initializer implementation yourself.

Usage
-----

Select the lines with the attributes that should be included in the initializer. See below; ``>`` is the start of the selection and ``<`` is the end of the selection.
```swift
struct MyStruct {
> public var a: String
public var b: Int<
}
```
Run the extension's "Generate Swift Initializer". Voila! The code above is modified to:
```swift
struct MyStruct {
public var a: String
public var b: Int
public init(a: String, b: Int) {
self.a = a
self.b = b
}
}
```
