Swift Refactoring - Summary

A summary for the series of articles about implementing Swift Local Refactoring action.

If you came here after going through previous 6 articles, you may have a few questions to ask:

Was it worth it?

Sure it was.

I learned the basics of working with Swift code base. How to build it, how to write tests and debug the code.

This whole exercise took me one tiny step closer to understanding the rest of the Swift project.

Would you do it again?

The answer is “Yes” and “No”.

No, I would probably not try to implement another refactoring action via swift-refactor. Instead, I’d look into using libSyntax library.

Yes, if I had more time to spare I’d look at one of the many Swift starter tasks.
