SwiftUI became very powerful during the last WWDC. We gained many new features, and one of them was a brand new FocusState property wrapper. FocusState property wrapper allows us to read and write the current focus position in the view hierarchy. This week we will learn how to manage focus in SwiftUI apps using FocusState property wrapper and focused view modifier.
Property wrapper is a Swift language feature. The main goal here is wrapping properties with a logic that we extract into a separate type to reuse it across the codebase. This week, we will learn how to create a property wrapper to read data in Keychain and be a good citizen in the SwiftUI world by reacting to data changes.
SwiftUI Release 3 brings a few generic view modifiers that allow us to handle semantically similar operations for different views in the very same way. One of these view modifiers is onSubmit, which we can use to manage both forms and search fields. This week we will talk about another view modifier that SwiftUI provides us to display confirmation dialogs.
SwiftUI Release 3 brought us a new declarative approach for handling submitted values. Text fields, forms, search bars allow users to submit values that we can take and react to them using the new onSubmit view modifier. This week we will learn how to use the onSubmit view modifier and what benefits it provides us.
Pull-to-refresh is a widespread User Interface pattern that we use to request a data update in our apps. The SwiftUI Release 3 provides a brand new way to set up a pull-to-refresh action using the new refreshable view modifier. This week, we will learn how to use the refreshable view modifier and provide a super custom experience with it.
During our careers, we primarily build apps that work with web services to retrieve and upload data. Remote image is one type of that data that we need to download and display. SwiftUI provides us the AsyncImage type, which is a view that downloads and shows an image via URL. This week we learn how to use and customize AsyncImage in SwiftUI.
Button is one of the crucial components of any app. We use buttons to provide actions in the user interface of the app. SwiftUI 3 released a bunch of new view modifiers that allow us to style buttons in different ways. New bordered and borderedProminent button styles in conjunction with controlSize and buttonBorderShape view modifiers can change button presentation drastically.
SwiftUI Release 3.0 brought tons of expected features that we missed in previous iterations. One of them is the ability to provide the search feature in our apps. Fortunately, we have a new searchable view modifier. This week, we will learn about the new searchable modifier and how to build a great search experience using it.
List is the crucial view for many apps. I can’t imagine an app that doesn’t use a list view anywhere in the view hierarchy. During WWDC21, list view became even more powerful and brought us all the needed features of UITableView. This week, we will learn how to use the list view in SwiftUI and master its features.
WWDC21 is finally here, and there are many new things in the updated version of SwiftUI. I’m happy to share with you that many items on my wishlist have finally arrived. In this post, I will try to give you a summary of the significant SwiftUI additions of this year.
