SwiftUI Cookbook

Overview of this book

SwiftUI provides an innovative and simple way to build beautiful user interfaces (UIs) for all Apple platforms, from iOS and macOS through to watchOS and tvOS, using the Swift programming language. In this recipe-based cookbook, you’ll cover the foundations of SwiftUI as well as the new SwiftUI 3 features introduced in iOS 15 and explore a range of essential techniques and concepts that will help you through the development process. The cookbook begins by explaining how to use basic SwiftUI components. Once you’ve learned the core concepts of UI development, such as Views, Controls, Lists, and ScrollViews, using practical implementations in Swift, you'll advance to adding useful features to SwiftUI using drawings, built-in shapes, animations, and transitions. You’ll understand how to integrate SwiftUI with exciting new components in the Apple development ecosystem, such as Combine for managing events and Core Data for managing app data. Finally, you’ll write iOS, macOS, and watchOS apps by sharing the same SwiftUI codebase. By the end of this SwiftUI book, you'll have discovered a range of simple, direct solutions to common problems encountered when building SwiftUI apps.

Laying out components

SwiftUI uses three basic layout components, VStack, HStack, and ZStack. Use the VStack view to arrange components in a vertical axis, HStack to arrange components in a horizontal axis, and—you guessed it right—use the ZStack to arrange components along the vertical and horizontal axis.

In this recipe, we will also look at spaces and adjust the position used to position elements. We will also look at how Spacer and Divider can be used for layout.

Getting ready

Let's start by creating a new SwiftUI project called TheStacks. Use the following steps:

  1. Start Xcode (Finder -> Applications -> Xcode).
  2. Click on Create a new Xcode project from the left pane.

    Select iOS, and then App. Click Next.

  3. In the Interface menu, make sure SwiftUI is selected instead of storyboard.
  4. Enter the Product Name, TheStacks.
  5. Select the folder location to store the project and click Next.
