Answer from AI

Automatic code generation templates help speed up development and reduce errors. In iOS development, the following examples are often used:

  • Code Snippets — ready-made code templates in Xcode that can be quickly inserted.
  • SwiftUI Previews — automatic interface generation based on code.
  • Core Data Model Code Generation — Xcode can automatically create NSManagedObject classes from a data model.
  • Sourcery — a tool for generating repetitive Swift code using templates.
  • Protocol-Oriented Programming Templates — generating boilerplate code for protocols and extensions.

Example of using Sourcery to generate code:

// sourcery: AutoMockable
protocol NetworkService {
    func fetchData()
}

Sourcery will generate a mock implementation for testing, saving time.
