This PR extends the PackageGeneratorPlugin to support all Swift Package Manager target types, addressing the limitation where only
.targetand.testTargetwere previously supported.Changes Made
Core Implementation
TargetTypeenum with support for all five target types:target,testTarget,executableTarget,systemLibrary, andbinaryTargetParsedPackagestruct to include atargetTypefield with backward-compatible auto-detection based on the existingisTestflagfakeTargetToSwiftCodeto generate appropriate Swift Package Manager target declarationsSmart Detection & Configuration
main.swiftfiletargetTypesconfiguration field allowing manual specification of target types for specific targets.executableproducts for executable targets and.libraryproducts for regular targets, while excluding system libraries and binary targets from product generationValidation & Error Handling
Documentation & Examples
Updated README with comprehensive documentation including:
targetTypesconfiguration optionExample Usage
{ "targetTypes": { "MyApp": "executableTarget", "SystemWrapper": "systemLibrary", "PrecompiledFramework": "binaryTarget" }, "targetsParameters": { "SystemWrapper": [ "pkgConfig: \"libxml-2.0\"", "providers: [.brew([\"libxml2\"]), .apt([\"libxml2-dev\"])]" ] } }This generates appropriate Swift Package Manager declarations:
Backward Compatibility
All existing configurations continue to work without modification. The implementation uses sensible defaults and maintains the existing behavior for projects that don't specify custom target types.
Fixes #8.
