Memberwise initializers. Builder patterns. Enum case accessors. Test stubs. It&rsquo;s tedious, error-prone, and frankly, boring.</p> <p>Swift 5.9 introduced macros, and I finally had a way to solve this properly. So I built <a href="https://github.com/evandcoleman/MacroBrewery">MacroBrewery</a>, a collection of macros that generate the repetitive code I was tired of writing by hand.</p> <h2 id="whats-included">What&rsquo;s Included</h2> <h3 id="autoinit">@AutoInit</h3> <p>Generates memberwise initializers that improve on Swift&rsquo;s built-in one: optionals default to <code>nil</code>, properties with default values preserve them as parameter defaults, and you can set any access level.</p>
