SwiftGen is a command-line code generator that produces type-safe Swift constants for project resources like asset catalogs, storyboards, fonts, colors, and localized strings. It uses customizable Stencil templates and helps eliminate String-based APIs and runtime crashes from typos.

Use cases

• generate type-safe constants for iOS asset catalogs
• avoid typos in localized strings lookups
• generate Swift code for storyboards and XIBs
• make UIColor and UIFont usage compiler-checked
• customize code generation with Stencil templates
• integrate resource code generation into Xcode build phase

When to choose

• you develop iOS/macOS apps in Swift and want compile-time safety for assets and strings
• your team wants auto-completion instead of String-based resource APIs
• you need customizable code generation via templates

When to avoid

• your project is not in Swift or not Apple-platform focused
• you only need one-off code generation without template customization
• you prefer runtime dynamic resource access over generated constants
