Over the last two years, I have actively used unidirectional flow to develop my apps. I covered the approach I use in the series of posts about building Redux-like state containers. This week I want to share with you how this approach adapts to the latest changes in Swift by applying the new concurrency model.
We covered a lot of things related to microapps architecture in Swift during the last month. I would love to finalize the series of posts by touching another essential edge of the approach: Dependency Injection. This week we will learn how to inject the dependencies into feature modules to improve testability and facilitate Xcode previews.
This week we will continue the topic of microapps architecture in Swift by touching on another essential edge of this approach. In this post, we will talk about sharing resources between modules and separating the localization of feature modules.
In the first post of the current series, I talked about Swift Package Manager basics and how we can maintain the project with many Swift modules. This week we continue the topic of Microapps architecture by introducing feature modules.
This week I want to start a series of posts about the new approach I use to build scalable apps in Swift. Microapps architecture allows you to reduce the compile-time and enhances the separation of concerns in your codebase. Teams can produce a module per feature and run it as a separate app to improve the value delivery.
Apple provides us with a set of different icons available across all the platforms called SF Symbols. SF Symbols package contains more than 3200 icons that we can use to visualize different states and actions in our apps. This week we will learn how to utilize the power of SF Symbols in SwiftUI views.
Structural identity is the type of identity that SwiftUI uses to understand your views without an explicit identifier by using your layout description. This week we will learn how to improve performance and eliminate unwanted animations by using inert view modifiers in SwiftUI.
Usually, SwiftUI uses rectangles to render views, but we can control the shape of the view by using the clipShape view modifier. This week we will learn how to modify the interactable shape of the view during hit-testing or previewing drag and drop by using the brand new contentShape view modifier.
Many of our apps do heavy work on background threads like networking or data processing. We usually want to display progress or the activity indicator of the ongoing work. This week we will learn how to use ProgressView to present both indeterminate and determinate progress in SwiftUI.
ShapeStyle is the protocol that we have from the very first release of the SwiftUI framework. ShapeStyle defines a color or pattern to use when rendering a shape. This week we will learn the many faces of ShapeStyle protocol and different implementations provided by the SwiftUI framework.
