PodShim

What is PodShim?

PodShim allows you to programatically add Pods to a Podfile.

Warning

You should not manipulate the Podfile flippantly, do not accept user input as it could result in Podfile injection. Static, safe, and tested changes are key to making this an effective solution.

Usage

Creating Pod Reference

import { pod } from "podshim";

// pod 'PodName'
console.log(
  pod({
    name: "PodName",
  })
);

// pod 'PodName', '>= 0.2'
console.log(
  pod({
    name: "PodName",
    version: ">= 0.2",
  })
);

// pod 'PodName', :git => 'https://github.com/PodName/PodName.git'
console.log(
  pod({
    name: "PodName",
    git: "https://github.com/PodName/PodName.git",
  })
);

Shimming Podfile Contents

import { readFileSync, writeFileSync } from "fs";
import { pod, shim } from "podshim";

/**
 * Will add the pod reference above the line that contains
 * the 'use_framework' string. 
 */
const contents = readFileSync("./Podfile", "utf-8");
const modified = shim({
  contents,
  anchor: "use_frameworks",
  insert: [
    pod({ name: "Podname" })
  ]
});

writeFileSync("./Podfile", "utf-8");
