vinhnx/spawn

**spawn** A small command-line tool to quickly tryout a Swift Package Manager (SPM) package locally.

Goals

When you want to try out or to edit a SPM package in Xcode, or after adding any new .package under SPM's package manifest file; you need to either run swift package update or swift package generate-xcodeproj and reload Xcode again.

This small wrapper aims to automate that process.

tldr; before:

$ git clone https://github.com/vinhnx/DictionaryNestedSubscript # clone any Swift Package Manager project
$ cd DictionaryNestedSubscript # change directory to newly cloned repo
$ swift package update # update or resolve package dependencies
$ swift package generate-xcodeproj # generate a .xcodeproj to edit on Xcode
$ xed . # open generated .xcodeproj automatically

after:

$ git clone https://github.com/vinhnx/DictionaryNestedSubscript # clone any Swift Package Manager project
$ cd DictionaryNestedSubscript # change directory to newly cloned repo
$ spawn

TODO: I will be looking at the way to automate cloning from remote repo in the future, for example: 

$ spawn https://github.com/vinhnx/DictionaryNestedSubscript # not yet working

Usage

On any Swift package directory, after git clone:

$ spawn

Vapor

You can use spawn as replacement for Vapor's vapor xcode -y command

before:

$ vapor xcode -y

after:

$ spawn
