Sample Generator

Sample — object instance with fake data used for testing. This Xcode Source Editor Extension will generate Swift samples based on object declarations. Handy if you have a rather complex model type with nested structs and you have to write a lot of boilerplate code.

Usage

Open a file with models that should have samples

struct Model {

    enum Variant {
        case first
        case second
    }

    struct Nested {
        let identifier: String
        let amount: Int
    }

    let identifier: String
    let name: String
    let nested: Nested
    let variant: Variant
}

Run the extension's Generate and all the samples will be generated. All you need now is to fill samples with default values
