I used BartyCrouch + SwiftGen with 'L10n' – how do I migrate the calls?

[Jeehut]

I followed the old Pro workflow and used SwiftGen in combination with BartyCrouch to localize my keys and I have hundreds of L10n.Some.Key.title kind of calls in my project. As the RemafoX structure is a little different with a .string or .locStringKey call at the end, it takes time to migrate all the keys over manually. Is there a better way?

Yes, there certainly is a better way. Two of them, actually:

First, there's this feature request for providing a button that automatically migrates all the code over for you. Make sure to upvote on it (👍) so I can prioritize accordingly.

But in the meantime, you can make use of Xcode's find & replace functionality, here's a step-by-step guide with a well-tested Regex:

1. First, make sure to commit any changes you might have so you can revert if things go wrong & see the changes
2. Open your project in Xcode, then open the 🔍 Find navigator in the left sidebar
3. Select "Replace" and "Regular Expression" in the two dropdowns above the text field
4. Set the dropdown on the right below the first text field to "Matching case" (don't skip this, or you could mess up things!)
5. Paste this Regex to the first text field: (?<=\b)L10n\.(?!tr\()((?:[A-Z]\w*\.)*)(?!self\b)a(\w*(?:\((?:[^,\n]+,\s*)*[^)]*\))?)
6. Paste this replacement to the second text field: Loc.$1A$2.string
7. Press Enter when in one of the text fields to start the search
8. Press the "Replace All" button
9. Repeat steps 4 to 7 for all other 25 characters in the alphabet, replacing a in the Regex and A in the replacement with b/B, c/C, respectively
10. After all this is done, build your project to get fix-its by Xcode for missing parameters (if any) – apply all via 'Editor' > 'Fix All Issues'
