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.

Integrating Firebase into a SwiftUI project

Firebase is a mobile development platform that has several products that simplify the implementation of mobile apps. These apps need a backend for persistence, authentication, notifications, and more. A mobile developer can concentrate on implementing only the mobile app without worrying about implementing the services on the cloud that they need to power their app.

Firebase provides a framework so that its services can be used in Swift. Unfortunately, not all of them work smoothly in SwiftUI, so you need to apply some workarounds. Firebase is a pretty sophisticated service, and although it's definitely much easier to use than implementing a backend from scratch, there are a few steps to follow to configure it properly.

Hopefully, Firebase will release a version for SwiftUI soon. We'll start our exploration of Firebase in SwiftUI by integrating its RemoteConfig product. RemoteConfig is a service that lets the developer change...
