The power of Environment in SwiftUI
Environment is one of the unique features of SwiftUI which we didn’t have before in UIKit. Today I would like to show you all the benefits of using Environment in your apps.
Building BarChart with Shape API in SwiftUI
This week I want to show you how to use Shape API in SwiftUI. We will take a look at ready to use shapes like Circle, Capsule, Rectangle, etc. We will learn how to draw super custom shapes by using Path and GeometryReader. In the end, we will build BarChart implementation ultimately in SwiftUI.
ViewModifiers in SwiftUI
ViewModifiers play a significant role in SwiftUI. Most of the functions called on a View are ViewModifiers. It is the primary way of modifying the view instance in SwiftUI. In this post, we will take a look at some ready to use ViewModifiers, and then we will build our own custom ViewModifier.
Introducing Container views in SwiftUI
During app development using SwiftUI, you can see that your views are very coupled with the data flow. Views fetch and render the data, handle user input and actions, etc. By doing so many things views become very fat and we can’t reuse them across the app. Let’s take a look at a different way of decomposing views by using Container Views.
Alerts, Action Sheets, Modals and Popovers in SwiftUI
SwiftUI has a set of dedicated modifiers for presenting sheets, alerts, action sheets, and popovers. Let’s take a look at how we can use them to display views in different ways.
Navigation in SwiftUI
This week I want to talk about Navigation in SwiftUI. SwiftUI provides both declarative and imperative ways of implementing navigation in your apps. Today we will cover two ways of Master-Detail navigation available in SwiftUI. We will learn how use NavigationLink, and how to do programmatic navigation in SwiftUI.
Gestures in SwiftUI
SwiftUI has a powerful and easy to use approach in building Gestures. Today we will talk about how we can use gestures in SwiftUI. We will touch special GestureState Property Wrapper which is very similar to State but works only with gestures. Finally, we will build swipeable Tinder cards as a sample project.
Managing Data Flow in SwiftUI
Last week we talked about “Animations and Transitions in SwiftUI”. But it’s time to touch the crucial aspect of every app, and it is Data Flow. All the apps have data to present or mutate. Data plays a vital role in apps using SwiftUI. Every view in SwiftUI is just a function of some state, where the state is our data.
Animations in SwiftUI
SwiftUI brings declarative and straightforward approach in building User Interfaces. We have List and Form components and Bindings. All of these things make SwiftUI so easy to use and very powerful. But today we are going to talk about another feature of SwiftUI, and it is animations.
Building forms with SwiftUI
Today we are going to build a form styled layout with SwiftUI. I want to show you a real-life example of the settings screen built with SwiftUI’s new form view.
