HackMan is a simple tool for generating boilerplate code directly via the command line.
Let hackman do the boring work and save some time.
Hackman is heavily inspired by the rails command.

Force override existing filesYou can also write hackman g instead of hackman generate.
When creating scaffolds, models, controllers you can also specify multiple fields to be generated automatically
hackman g scaffold author name:string birthday:dateThis commands creates among other things a struct of type Author with the following properties.
let name: String
let birthday: DateYou can also reference to your custom types.
hackman g scaffold Article title:string body:string published_at:date author:authorThis will generate the following properties inside of the Article model.
let title: String
let body: String
let publishedAt: Date
let author: AuthorIf you omit the property type, hackman assumes you want a property of type String.
hackman g scaffold article title body published_at:date author:authorhackman new MusicApp
cd MusicApp
hackman g app_delegate --coordinator
hackman g asset_catalog
hackman g launch_screen
hackman g scaffold artist name --coordinator
hackman g scaffold song title year:int --coordinator
hackman g scaffold album name uuid artist:artist created_at:date updated_at:date --coordinator
hackman g view_controller_information --coordinator
hackman g coordinator_main song artist album --include=information
