Summary

In this chapter, I showed how you can customize your SwiftUI user interface with custom graphics and custom layouts. We began with custom modifiers, allowing us to apply the same style and behavior to different views with little code.

In order to place arbitrary graphics inside a SwiftUI view, we used the Canvas, a view that allows you to draw arbitrary graphics and other views, and we have shown how to use CALayers with UIViewRepresentable.

Finally, IS showed how it is possible to create completely arbitrary layouts for container views.

In the next chapter, we will examine SwiftUI animation.
