[**In-Depth Sourcery guide is covered as part of my SwiftyStack engineering course.**](https://www.swiftystack.com/)



**Sourcery Pro provides a powerful Stencil editor and extends Xcode with the ability to handle live AST templates: [available on Mac App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sourcery-pro/id1561780836?mt=12)**

**Sourcery** is a code generator for Swift language, built on top of Apple's own SwiftSyntax. It extends the language abstractions to allow you to generate boilerplate code automatically.



It's used in over 40,000 projects on both iOS and macOS and it powers some of the most popular and critically-acclaimed apps you have used (including Airbnb, Bumble, New York Times). Its massive community adoption was one of the factors that pushed Apple to implement derived Equality and automatic Codable conformance. Sourcery is maintained by a growing community of [contributors](https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/Sourcery/graphs/contributors).



Try **Sourcery** for your next project or add it to an existing one -- you'll save a lot of time and be happy you did!



## TL;DR

Sourcery allows you to get rid of repetitive code and create better architecture and developer workflows. 

An example might be implementing `Mocks` for all your protocols, without Sourcery you will need to write **hundreds lines of code per each protocol** like this:



```swift

class MyProtocolMock: MyProtocol {



    //MARK: - sayHelloWith

    var sayHelloWithNameCallsCount = 0

    var sayHelloWithNameCalled: Bool {

        return sayHelloWithNameCallsCount > 0

    }

    var sayHelloWithNameReceivedName: String?

    var sayHelloWithNameReceivedInvocations: [String] = []

    var sayHelloWithNameClosure: ((String) -> Void)?



    func sayHelloWith(name: String) {

        sayHelloWithNameCallsCount += 1

        sayHelloWithNameReceivedName = name

        sayHelloWithNameReceivedInvocations.append(name)

        sayHelloWithNameClosure?(name)

    }



}

```



and with Sourcery ?



```swift

extension MyProtocol: AutoMockable {}

```



Sourcery removes the need to write any of the mocks code, how many protocols do you have in your project? Imagine how much time you'll save, using Sourcery will also make every single mock consistent and if you refactor or add properties, the mock code will be automatically updated for you, eliminating possible human errors. 



Sourcery can be applied to arbitrary problems across your codebase, if you can describe an algorithm to another human, you can automate it using Sourcery.



Most common uses are:



- [Equality](https://krzysztofzablocki.github.io/Sourcery/equatable.html) & [Hashing](https://krzysztofzablocki.github.io/Sourcery/hashable.html)

- [Enum cases & Counts](https://krzysztofzablocki.github.io/Sourcery/enum-cases.html)

- [Lenses](https://krzysztofzablocki.github.io/Sourcery/lenses.html)

- [Mocks & Stubs](https://krzysztofzablocki.github.io/Sourcery/mocks.html)

- [LinuxMain](https://krzysztofzablocki.github.io/Sourcery/linuxmain.html)

- [Decorators](https://krzysztofzablocki.github.io/Sourcery/decorator.html)

- [Persistence and advanced Codable](https://krzysztofzablocki.github.io/Sourcery/codable.html)

- [Property level diffing](https://krzysztofzablocki.github.io/Sourcery/diffable.html)



But how about more specific use-cases, like automatically generating all the UI for your app `BetaSetting`? [you can use Sourcery for that too](https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/AutomaticSettings)



Once you start writing your own template and learn the power of Sourcery you won't be able to live without it.

## Installation



- _Binary form_



    Download the latest release with the prebuilt binary from [release tab](https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/Sourcery/releases/latest). Unzip the archive into the desired destination and run `bin/sourcery`

    

- _[Homebrew](https://brew.sh)_



	`brew install sourcery`



- _[CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org)_



    Add `pod 'Sourcery'` to your `Podfile` and run `pod update Sourcery`. This will download the latest release binary and will put it in your project's CocoaPods path so you will run it with `$PODS_ROOT/Sourcery/bin/sourcery`



    If you only want to install the `sourcery` binary, you may want to use the `CLI-Only` subspec: `pod 'Sourcery', :subspecs => ['CLI-Only']`.



- _[Mint](https://github.com/yonaskolb/Mint)_



    `mint run krzysztofzablocki/Sourcery`



- _Building from Source_



    Download the latest release source code from [the release tab](https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/Sourcery/releases/latest) or clone the repository and build Sourcery manually.



    - _Building with Swift Package Manager_



        Run `swift build -c release` in the root folder and then copy `.build/release/sourcery` to your desired destination.



        > Note: JS templates are not supported when building with SPM yet.



    - _Building with Xcode_



        Run `xcodebuild -scheme sourcery -destination generic/platform=macOS -archivePath sourcery.xcarchive archive` and export the binary from the archive.



- _SPM (for plugin use only)_

Add the package dependency to your `Package.swift` manifest from version `1.8.3`.



```

.package(url: "https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/Sourcery.git", from: "1.8.3")

```



- _[pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/)_

Add the dependency to `.pre-commit-config.yaml`.



```

- repo: https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/Sourcery

  rev: 1.9.1

  hooks:

  - id: sourcery

```



## Documentation



Full documentation for the latest release is available [here](http://merowing.info/Sourcery/).



## Linux Support



Linux support is [described on this page](LINUX.md).



## Usage



### Running the executable



Sourcery is a command line tool; you can either run it manually or in a custom build phase using the following command:



```

$ ./bin/sourcery --sources  --templates  --output 

```



> Note: this command differs depending on how you installed Sourcery (see [Installation](#installation))



### Swift Package command



Sourcery can now be used as a Swift package command plugin. In order to do this, the package must be added as a dependency to your Swift package or Xcode project (see [Installation](#installation) above).



To provide a configuration for the plugin to use, place a `.sourcery.yml` file at the root of the target's directory (in the sources folder rather than the root of the package).



#### Running from the command line



To verify the plugin can be found by SwiftPM, use:



```

$ swift package plugin --list

```



To run the code generator, you need to allow changes to the project with the `--allow-writing-to-package-directory` flag:



```

$ swift package --allow-writing-to-package-directory sourcery-command

```



#### Running in Xcode



Inside a project/package that uses this command plugin, right-click the project and select "SourceryCommand" from the "SourceryPlugins" menu group.



> ⚠️ Note that this is only available from Xcode 14 onwards.



### Command line options



- `--sources` - Path to a source swift files or directories. You can provide multiple paths using multiple `--sources` option.

- `--templates` - Path to templates. File or Directory. You can provide multiple paths using multiple `--templates` options.

- `--force-parse` - File extensions of Sourcery generated file you want to parse. You can provide multiple extension using multiple `--force-parse` options. (i.e. `file.toparse.swift` will be parsed even if generated by Sourcery if `--force-parse toparse`). Useful when trying to implement a multiple phases generation. `--force-parse` can also be used to process within a sourcery annotation. For example to process code within `sourcery:inline:auto:Type.AutoCodable` annotation you can use `--force-parse AutoCodable`

- `--output` [default: current path] - Path to output. File or Directory.

- `--config` [default: current path] - Path to config file. File or Directory. See [Configuration file](#configuration-file).

- `--args` - Additional arguments to pass to templates. Each argument can have an explicit value or will have implicit `true` value. Arguments should be separated with `,` without spaces (i.e. `--args arg1=value,arg2`). Arguments are accessible in templates via `argument.name`

- `--watch` [default: false] - Watch both code and template folders for changes and regenerate automatically.

- `--verbose` [default: false] - Turn on verbose logging

- `--quiet` [default: false] - Turn off any logging, only emit errors

- `--disableCache` [default: false] - Turn off caching of parsed data

- `--prune` [default: false] - Prune empty generated files

- `--version` - Display the current version of Sourcery

- `--help` - Display help information

- `--cacheBasePath` - Base path to the cache directory. Can be overriden by the config file.

- `--buildPath` - Path to directory used when building from .swifttemplate files. This defaults to system temp directory

- `--hideVersionHeader` [default: false] - Stop adding the Sourcery version to the generated files headers.



### Configuration file



Instead of CLI arguments, you can use a `.sourcery.yml` configuration file:



```yaml

sources:

  - 

  - 

templates:

  - 

  - 

forceParse:

  - 

  - 

output:

  

args:

  : 

```
