Historique du projet

The GitHub repository was created in December 2016 and describes Sourcery as a Swift code generator built on Apple's SwiftSyntax. The project presents its core purpose as extending Swift's language abstractions so teams can generate boilerplate automatically.

The README documents Sourcery as both a standalone command-line executable and an integrated build-tool option. It supports direct binary downloads, Homebrew, CocoaPods, Mint, Swift Package Manager plugin use, and source builds.

Historique d'adoption

The official README states that Sourcery is used in more than 40,000 iOS and macOS projects and names Airbnb, Bumble, and The New York Times as example users. The project also claims that broad community adoption helped influence Apple's later derived Equality and automatic Codable conformance work.

For package users, Sourcery became a familiar Swift ecosystem utility because it can be installed through several package channels while still producing ordinary generated Swift files that fit into Xcode and CI workflows.

Modes d'utilisation

Typical CLI usage runs `sourcery --sources <path> --templates <path> --output <path>`, or places options in a `.sourcery.yml` file. The README highlights common templates for equality, hashing, enum cases, mocks and stubs, LinuxMain, decorators, Codable support, and property diffing.

SwiftPM plugin usage is documented separately from the standalone executable: users add Sourcery as a package dependency, place `.sourcery.yml` near the target sources, and run the package plugin with write access enabled.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Sourcery matters to package nerds because it sits at the intersection of source generation, build reproducibility, and Swift package distribution. A formula or package gives teams the same generator binary locally and in CI, making generated-code diffs predictable.

Its presence across Homebrew, CocoaPods, Mint, SwiftPM, and pre-commit also makes it a useful example of a CLI that escaped a single package ecosystem and became part of routine iOS and macOS project automation.
