📰 Dev.to · Viachaslav Enuitin

Learn to build a type-safe modular architecture for iOS using enums and DSL patterns in SwiftPM, improving scalability and maintainability

intermediate Published 16 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Replace string-based dependencies in Package.swift with enums to reduce errors and improve code readability
  2. Apply the DSL pattern to define modules and their dependencies in a declarative way
  3. Use compiler-enforced constraints to ensure consistency and correctness of the module architecture
  4. Refactor existing packages to use the new type-safe modular architecture
  5. Test and validate the new architecture to ensure it meets the project's requirements
Who Needs to Know This
