R.swift is a code generation tool for Swift projects that generates strongly typed, autocompleted accessors for resources like images, fonts, colors, localized strings, storyboards, segues, and nibs. It replaces stringly-typed resource lookups with compile-time checked code, preventing runtime crashes from incorrect resource names.

Use cases

• access iOS images and fonts with type-safe autocompletion instead of string names
• catch invalid resource name references at compile time in Swift apps
• generate typed accessors for storyboards, segues, and nibs in Xcode projects
• manage localized strings without stringly-typed NSLocalizedString calls
• avoid runtime crashes from renamed or missing assets in iOS apps

When to choose

• you develop iOS, tvOS, or watchOS apps in Swift and want compile-time checked resource access
• your team suffers from runtime crashes due to mistyped asset or storyboard names
• you want IDE autocompletion for images, fonts, colors, and localized strings

When to avoid

• you develop for platforms outside Apple's ecosystem (Android, web, server-side)
• you use SwiftUI exclusively with asset catalogs and don't need generated accessors
• your project is small enough that string-based resource lookup overhead is negligible
