A few weeks ago, we talked about the idea of Functional core and Imperative shell in Swift. The goal is to extract the pure logic using value types and keep side effects in the thin object layer. This week, we will look at how we can apply this approach in an opinionated way by using unidirectional flow.
We always want to provide a great user experience in our apps. The system can shut down your app when the user leaves it and when the user relaunches your app, the system creates it from scratch, and the current state of your app is lost. This is a bad user experience. To avoid this kind of situation, we should provide a state restoration mechanism. This week we will learn how to implement state restoration in SwiftUI.
We love value types because they provide us with safety and predictability, allowing us to reason about the code we write. But we still need objects to hold and mutate our app’s shared state. This week, we will discuss modeling our app’s logic by leveraging the value and reference semantics.
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.
