Overview of this book

Test-driven development (TDD) is a proven way to find software bugs earlier on in software development. Writing tests before you code improves the structure and maintainability of your apps, and so using TDD in combination with Swift 5.5's improved syntax leaves you with no excuse for writing bad code. Developers working with iOS will be able to put their knowledge to work with this practical guide to TDD in iOS. This book will help you grasp the fundamentals and show you how to run TDD with Xcode. You'll learn how to test network code, navigate between different parts of the app, run asynchronous tests, and much more. Using practical, real-world examples, you'll begin with an overview of the TDD workflow and get to grips with unit testing concepts and code cycles. You'll then develop an entire iOS app using TDD while exploring different strategies for writing tests for models, view controllers, and networking code. Additionally, you'll explore how to test the user interface and business logic of iOS apps and even write tests for the network layer of the sample app. By the end of this TDD book, you'll be able to implement TDD methodologies comfortably in your day-to-day development for building scalable and robust applications.

Chapter 8: Building a Simple Detail View

Often in iOS development, table views or collection views just give a brief summary of the presented items. To figure out all the details of the shown items, the user has to select an item so that they can be redirected to the details. In the details view, the user can often interact with the shown item.

For example, in a mail app, the summary only shows the sender, the subject, and the first few lines of the mail. To read the complete mail and to answer it, the user has to open it in the details view.

In this chapter, we will build the details view for our to-do items. The chapter is structured as follows:

  • Adding labels, a button, and a map
  • Filling in the data
  • Checking the to-do item

We start by adding the user interface elements to the view.
