The upcoming sections will explain the structure of your generated Kit in detail.

Xcode Project Structure
In the generated Xcode project you will find four important directories.
Directory | Description |
---|---|
Sources |
Where you place your Swift source files |
Tests |
Place your Unit-Tests files |

All config files like Plist, Package.swift, Podspec, etc. |

Kit.swift
In the aforementioned Sources
directory you will find one Swift file which is named by your Kit.
This file is used to inherit the import of
Foundation
when importing your Kit.
Fastlane
Every generated Kit will come along with a predefined Fastfile
.
tests-Lane
The tests
lane will run your Unit-Tests and verify that your Kit is Carthage
and CocoaPods
