Installation

Prerequisites

• Xcode 14.0 or newer
• Swift 5.5 or newer
• iOS 15.0 or later (can be modified if targeting earlier versions)
• SwiftLint installed via Homebrew or CocoaPods

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/FeedbackAssistantClone.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd FeedbackAssistantClone

3. Open the .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace file in Xcode:

   open FeedbackAssistantClone.xcodeproj

4. Install SwiftLint if it's not already installed:

   brew install swiftlint

5. Build and run the project in Xcode.

Usage

• Launch the app to start managing feedbacks.
• Use the app in different languages by changing your device's language in Settings.
• Review the code documentation directly in Xcode (via Quick Help or Documentation popup).

Code Structure

• Model: Core Data models that represent feedbacks and other entities.
• View: SwiftUI views that provide the user interface.
• ViewModel: State management using observable objects and bindings.
• Localization: .strings files for each supported language.
• SwiftLint Configuration: .swiftlint.yml file for linting rules.

Localization

To add support for a new language:

1. Go to the project navigator in Xcode.
2. Select the Localizable.strings file.
3. Add new translations for the new language.
4. Update the app’s user interface strings to use NSLocalizedString for dynamic translations.

SwiftLint

To ensure that the code follows best practices and styling conventions, SwiftLint is integrated into the project. To run SwiftLint, execute:

swiftlint

You can modify the linting rules by editing the .swiftlint.yml file.

Documentation

This project uses Swift's built-in documentation system. Code comments and documentation can be found by holding Option and clicking on a symbol or by viewing Quick Help in Xcode.

To add or edit documentation:

1. Use the /// syntax to add documentation to methods, classes, structs, etc.
2. Follow Apple's Documentation Guidelines.
