Tutorial project on how to set up advanced mock classes code generation in RIBs-based iOS projects in Swift.
There are several modern concepts and framework that try to solve the Massive View Controller coding anti-pattern typically found in iOS and MacOS projects, e.g. MVVM, VIPER, Redux, etc. One the most recent and solid is Uber’s RIBs framework. Among others, it allows separating routing logic from the business logic and UI, by following a Router-Interactor-Builder pattern (hence the name). The framework also enforces hierarchical architecture of the application and extensive use of dependency injection pattern. A class declares its dependencies via protocols that the builder supplies at the time of instantiation. This, ideally, allows unit-tests to provide class not with the actual implementations of its dependencies, but with mock ones (test doubles). In reality, however, to do this, one has to create mock classes that implement the specified protocols. Creating such classes manually, and keeping them up-to-date when protocol definitions change, would require a significant amount of manual work, significantly limiting the adoption of the framework. There are several tools available, but they are either cumbersome to use, or just not powerful enough, to be practically applicable out of the box. This repository presents a sample application accompanying a tutorial article on how to set up advanced mock classes code generation in RIBs-based iOS projects in Swift.
