In the series final post about container views in SwiftUI, we will discuss container values and how SwiftUI allows us to propagate data through the container view logic. This week, we will learn how to declaratively define and pass container values.
In the previous post, we discussed the basics of the new container APIs introduced in SwiftUI this year. I want to continue the topic by touching on more advanced recomposition APIs that allow us to decompose sections and their content.
Since the very first version of the framework, SwiftUI has had several container views. The most popular ones are HStack, VStack, List, etc. This year, Apple introduced new APIs that allow us to build custom container views in a new way. This week, we will learn about the benefits of SwiftUI’s new decomposition APIs.
A year ago, Apple released the TipKit framework, which has a bizarre title. TipKit became a framework, making app features much easier for users to discover. This week, we will talk about an enhancement that Apple introduced to improve tip-appearing logic called tip groups.
Since purchasing Apple Vision Pro, I have been fully immersed in adapting my applications to visionOS. The first thing I noticed on the device was the need to customize hover effects in some views. This week, we will talk about building custom hover effects in SwiftUI.
Swift was promoted as a type-safe programming language on its very first day, and it is solid and safe in many aspects. The part of type safety that needed to be added was throwing functions. Swift 6.0 introduces typed throws, and we will learn all about them this week.
The SwiftUI framework became a mature tool for building apps on all Apple platforms. The recent WWDC introduced missing APIs, adding more value to the framework. One of them is even backward compatible with previous versions of Apple platforms. This week, we will discuss tracking geometry changes of any view in SwiftUI.
SwiftUI has become the leading framework for building apps on all Apple platforms. Almost half of these platforms support multiple windows, so we see more APIs allowing us to manipulate windows. This week, we will learn how to customize windows in SwiftUI using new APIs.
Another great addition to our scrolling APIs this year is the scroll visibility. Nowadays, you can fetch the list of visible identifiers or quickly check and monitor the view visibility inside a scroll view. This week, we will learn how to use the new onScrollTargetVisibilityChange and onScrollVisibilityChange view modifiers.
The Swift macros feature became very popular last year in the community and inside Apple. As a result, the SwiftUI framework introduced a set of macro types that helped us reduce boilerplates in our codebases. This week, we will talk about the Entry macro type.
