SwiftUI Cookbook

By: Giordano Scalzo, Nzokwe

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.

Creating an iOS app in SwiftUI

Before going Cross-Platform with your development, we will first create an iOS app. We will be starting with the app created during our work on the Using mock data for previews recipe in Chapter 4, Viewing while Building with SwiftUI Preview. The version created for this recipe will be made more modular to allow for code reuse across platforms, and the resources will not be stored in the preview section of the app.

The app will display a list of insects where you can click on any insect in the list to see more details about it. The data regarding the insects will be read from a JSON file and made available to our views using an @Environment variable.

Getting ready

Let's create a new single-view iOS app in SwiftUI named Cross-Platform.

How to do it…

We will set up the model and data source used in this recipe, and then proceed to create the views and subviews needed to display the list of insects and the details of each one....
