- Thread-topic: Plug-in API for Xcode
I'm not sure if this would make a good request for a plugin or not, but
I'd like the ability to run a script when a user chooses to create a new
project or file; basically, I want to take all the information that the
user types in in the New Project or New File panels, and, depending on
the name (we have very specific naming conventions here) generate the
files that are needed. Currently, the solution is to have a lot of
different projects, one for each different kind of application we are
creating, but I'd like to compact that down to one project type, with
the script parsing the name for information on what needs to be
generated. E.g. test files always start with the word 'test', and
always have a very specific internal structure. Using my trick, I don't
have to have a large number of custom projects; I can have a single file
that acts as a database, and generate a new file as needed. This would
also solve the current problem that XCode (and Project Builder)have of
having essentially the same files being repeated over and over again in
the template directories.
Thanks,
Cem Karan
