SwiftUI Cookbook - Second Edition

Overview of this book

SwiftUI provides an innovative and simple way to build beautiful user interfaces (UIs) for all Apple platforms, from iOS and macOS through to watchOS and tvOS, using the Swift programming language. In this recipe-based cookbook, you’ll cover the foundations of SwiftUI as well as the new SwiftUI 3 features introduced in iOS 15 and explore a range of essential techniques and concepts that will help you through the development process. The cookbook begins by explaining how to use basic SwiftUI components. Once you’ve learned the core concepts of UI development, such as Views, Controls, Lists, and ScrollViews, using practical implementations in Swift, you'll advance to adding useful features to SwiftUI using drawings, built-in shapes, animations, and transitions. You’ll understand how to integrate SwiftUI with exciting new components in the Apple development ecosystem, such as Combine for managing events and Core Data for managing app data. Finally, you’ll write iOS, macOS, and watchOS apps by sharing the same SwiftUI codebase. By the end of this SwiftUI book, you'll have discovered a range of simple, direct solutions to common problems encountered when building SwiftUI apps.

Preface

SwiftUI provides an innovative and simple way to build user interfaces across all Apple platforms. SwiftUI code is easy to read and write because it uses Swift's declarative programming syntax.

This book covers the foundations of SwiftUI, as well as the new features of SwiftUI 3.0 introduced in iOS 15. Particular attention is given to illustrate the interaction between SwiftUI and the rest of an app's code, such as Combine, Core Data, Firebase, and network services.

By the end of this book, you'll have simple, direct solutions to common problems found in building SwiftUI apps, and you'll know how to build visually compelling apps using SwiftUI, Combine, and async await code.
