如果我在一个文件中有多个类，是否有工具可以将它们分成单独的文件？

Question

Some colleagues, now departed, had the habit of adding new classes within a related class file.

This makes refactoring painful.

Is there a tool, perhaps within XCode or AppCode or just a simple script, that will split up these monster files?

Answer 1

It appears there is a tool to help with this in AppCode, but it only semi-automates the process.

I'm using AppCode 2.0, I don't know if the same tool is available in AppCode 1.x.

To extract one class from a file to a new file, right-click the @interface or @implementation line and select Refactor > Move. Alternatively press F6 on that line. You can now enter a new file name, though you probably want to copy+paste the class name in here. At this point you can also select any defines you want to move.

I have done some work on a script to extract all classes in a file. I'd love to share this one day, when I get the chance to remove our clients code from the unit tests!

Answer 2

I don't think so there is any tool for this. However you can write your own osx application for doing the same.

The application will ask to browse the file, and it will search for @interface.... @end and @implementation....~@end` and will create a file from this. If a single file contains two classes then it will result in for files (two headers and two implementation). Then the original file can be deleted manually or automatically.

I think this above task can be completed in few hours.

Here you can go for save the original file in a folder, just in case you want to rollback.
