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.

Implementing a swipeable stack of cards in SwiftUI

Every now and then, an app solves a common problem in such an elegant and peculiar way that it becomes a sort of de facto way to do it in other apps as well.

I am referring to a pattern such as pull to refresh, which started in the Twitter app and then became part of iOS itself.

A few years ago, Tinder introduced the pattern of swipeable cards to solve the problem of indicating which cards we like and which we dislike, in a list of cards.

From then on, countless apps have applied the same visual pattern, not just in the dating sector but in every sector that needed a way to make a match between different users, including anything from business purposes, such as coupling mentors and mentees, to indicating which clothes we like for a fashion e-commerce app.

In this recipe, we are going to implement a bare-bones version of Tinder's swipeable stack of cards.
