SnapAppTemplate

An Xcode project with a base setup of SNAP. The app comes with structure, navigation and infrastructure prepared, to quickly setup a new app using the SNAP packages.

Also have a look at snap-template for shared features and implementations.

Motivation

Finishing the last 20% of a project takes 80% of the time.

(Source: Someone on the internet)

The goal of SnapTemplate is to already have the last 20% ready, before you even start the project. The same applies to the first 20% of a project: infrastructure, boilerplate and project setup.

Even if you don't plan to finish the last 60% of it, it allows to test a quick idea with a full app experience around it.

Create new App

1. Create and clone repository.
2. Copy files from snap-app-template and get everything in the correct place.
3. Rename project.
   1. Rename top item in project navigator.
   2. Change bundle identifier.
4. Follow setup steps of snap-settings-service.

Template

The Template comes with:

1. Infrastructure to define dependencies and has the SNAP packages ready to go.
2. A setup to define a navigation hierarchy for the app.
3. Uses snap-matching-navigation to show a Sidebar on macOS / iPadOS and a Tabbar on iOS.
4. A base settings screen using snap-settings-service with some theme configuration options.
