View transitions are available from the very first version of the SwiftUI framework. The framework can apply a particular transition whenever the view is removed or added to the view hierarchy. The latest iteration of the SwiftUI framework brings us a new type of transition called content transitions. It allows us to apply a particular transition to the content of the view whenever it changes. This week we will learn how to use the new API to apply content transition in SwiftUI.
How often did you use GeometryReader to measure layout and place different views? GeometryReader was always a great tool in our toolbox, but It is elementary to break the layout while using the GeometryReader. Fortunately, the next generation of the SwiftUI framework introduces a new way to measure available space and place different views. This week we will learn how to use the brand new ViewThatFits view.
Two years ago, I wrote a post about building a custom bottom sheet in SwiftUI. Nowadays, there is no need to make it manually, at least if you don’t need a super custom behavior. SwiftUI introduces a new API to display a bottom sheet in a few lines of code. This week we learn the new API allowing us to present bottom sheets in different appearances.
One of the new SwiftUI views released during WWDC22 was LabeledContent. And it became one of my favorite views that I try to use everywhere because it fits very well into Human Design Guidelines. This week we will learn how to use LabeledContent to provide a platform-oriented experience.
One of the exciting frameworks released along with iOS 13 was the BackgroundTasks framework. It allows you to schedule work intelligently in the background. Finally, we can handle background tasks using the SwiftUI app lifecycle. This week we will learn how to schedule and handle background tasks in SwiftUI.
Task view modifier is the key to the Swift Concurrency world through SwiftUI. It allows us to build complex async tasks by leveraging the power of cooperative cancellation and the lifecycle of a SwiftUI view. This week we will learn all the powerful features of the task view modifier in SwiftUI.
This week we will continue exploring the new Navigation API in SwiftUI. One of the benefits of the new data-driven Navigation API is the programmatic navigation with deep-linking possibilities. Let’s dive into the new API by learning how to build programmatic deep navigation flows.
SwiftUI is the declarative data-driven framework allowing us to build complex user interfaces by defining the data rendering on the screen. Navigation was the main pain point of the framework from the very first day. Fortunately, things have changed since WWDC 22, and SwiftUI provides the new data-driven Navigation API. This week we will learn how to use the new Navigation API to build complex user flows.
WWDC22 brings tons of new features to SwiftUI and makes it a full-featured UI framework that we can use daily. Unfortunately, most of the new features are available on iOS 16 and macOS 13. This post will cover the most significant additions and changes to the SwiftUI framework.
SwiftUI provides us with a rich set of view modifiers to manipulate the accessibility tree of views. I covered many of them, and you can find them in the blog’s dedicated Accessibility category. This week we will talk about the accessibilityChildren view modifier and how we can benefit from it.
