App Architecture and SwiftUI Part I: Practical Tools

This chapter will introduce the interesting topic of application structure and the impact SwiftUI has on modern mobile application architecture on Apple operating systems. This chapter will somewhat change the pace kept by this book this far.

We will begin the chapter by introducing the tools of the trade that help us partition apps into manageable software components, elegantly and practically.

I won’t give you any premade “architectures” or architectural patterns. I will explain this point later. The reason is that I do not believe there is a perfect, premade architecture that you can just copy and paste. Your architecture will need to be unique and match the problem you are facing.

We will start with the practical angle, which you will need to be a better programmer.
