Appearance
Plugins are a tool to share and reuse Tuist artifacts across multiple projects. The following artifacts are supported:
Note that plugins are designed to be a simple way to extend Tuist's functionality. Therefore there are some limitations to consider:
If you need more flexibility, consider suggesting a feature for the tool or building your own solution upon Tuist's generation framework, TuistGenerator
.
A project description helper plugin is represented by a directory containing a Plugin.swift
manifest file that declares the plugin's name and a ProjectDescriptionHelpers
directory containing the helper Swift files.
import ProjectDescription
let plugin = Plugin(name: "MyPlugin")
.
├── ...
├── Plugin.swift
├── ProjectDescriptionHelpers
└── ...
If you need to share synthesized resource accessors you can use this type of plugin. The plugin is represented by a directory containing a Plugin.swift
manifest file that declares the plugin's name and a ResourceSynthesizers
directory containing the resource accessor template files.
import ProjectDescription
let plugin = Plugin(name: "MyPlugin")
.
├── ...
├── Plugin.swift
├── ResourceSynthesizers
├───── Strings.stencil
├───── Plists.stencil
├───── CustomTemplate.stencil
└── ...
The name of the template is the camel case version of the resource type:
Resource type | Template file name |
---|---|
Strings | Strings.stencil |
Assets | Assets.stencil |
Property Lists | Plists.stencil |
Fonts | Fonts.stencil |
Core Data | CoreData.stencil |
Interface Builder | InterfaceBuilder.stencil |
JSON | JSON.stencil |
YAML | YAML.stencil |
When defining the resource synthesizers in the project, you can specify the plugin name to use the templates from the plugin:
let project = Project(resourceSynthesizers: [.strings(plugin: "MyPlugin")])
DEPRECATED
Task plugins are deprecated. Check out this blog post if you are looking for an automation solution for your project.
Tasks are $PATH
-exposed executables that are invocable through the tuist
command if they follow the naming convention tuist-<task-name>
. In earlier versions, Tuist provided some weak conventions and tools under tuist plugin
to build
, run
, test
and archive
tasks represented by executables in Swift Packages, but we have deprecated this feature since it increases the maintenance burden and complexity of the tool.
If you were using Tuist for distributing tasks, we recommend building your
ProjectAutomation.xcframework
distributed with every Tuist release to have access to the project graph from your logic with let graph = try Tuist.graph()
. The command uses sytem process to run the tuist
command, and return the in-memory representation of the project graph.arm64
and x86_64
in GitHub releases, and using Mise as an installation tool. To instruct Mise on how to install your tool, you'll need a plugin repository. You can use Tuist's as a reference.tuist-{xxx}
and users can install it by running mise install
, they can run it either invoking it directly, or through tuist xxx
.THE FUTURE OF PROJECTAUTOMATION
We plan to consolidate the models of ProjectAutomation
and XcodeGraph
into a single backward-compatible framework that exposes the entirity of the project graph to the user. Moreover, we'll extract the generation logic into a new layer, XcodeGraph
that you can also use from your own CLI. Think of it as building your own Tuist.
To use a plugin, you'll have to add it to your project's Tuist.swift
manifest file:
import ProjectDescription
let tuist = Tuist(
project: .tuist(plugins: [
.local(path: "/Plugins/MyPlugin")
])
)
If you want to reuse a plugin across projects that live in different repositories, you can push your plugin to a Git repository and reference it in the Tuist.swift
file:
import ProjectDescription
let tuist = Tuist(
project: .tuist(plugins: [
.git(url: "https://url/to/plugin.git", tag: "1.0.0"),
.git(url: "https://url/to/plugin.git", sha: "e34c5ba")
])
)
After adding the plugins, tuist install
will fetch the plugins in a global cache directory.
NO VERSION RESOLUTION
As you might have noted, we don't provide version resolution for plugins. We recommend using Git tags or SHAs to ensure reproducibility.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION HELPERS PLUGINS
When using a project description helpers plugin, the name of the module that contains the helpers is the name of the plugin
import ProjectDescription
import MyTuistPlugin
let project = Project.app(name: "MyCoolApp", platform: .iOS)
