Elevate SwiftUI Skills by Building Projects

By: Frahaan Hussain

Overview of this book

Elevate SwiftUI Skills by Building Projects helps you harness the cutting-edge potential of SwiftUI and its innovative and user-friendly approach to crafting user interfaces for Apple platforms with the power of Swift. This book will enhance your UI programming skills with SwiftUI through a project-based methodology, guiding you to create four real-world projects. Starting with a quick recap of Swift and SwiftUI, you’ll gradually develop projects tailored for iPhone, iPad, macOS, and watchOS using Swift and Xcode. You’ll experience SwiftUI’s versatility in action as you build a tax calculator for iPhone and a photo gallery for the iPad, which uses a larger display to enhance the viewing experience. You’ll also create an app store for Mac and, finally, get to grips with the power of SwiftUI for smaller devices such as the Apple Watch by designing a Fitness Companion app. By the end of this book, you'll have built fully functional projects across multiple platforms and gained the expertise needed to excel as a professional SwiftUI developer.

Summary

In this chapter, we implemented all the calculator’s functionality. We linked all the UI components that we implemented in the previous chapter. First, we provided a means to navigate to and from ResultsView. Then, we checked the salary input to make sure it was above zero and didn’t contain any invalid characters. Once validated, we passed the salary from ContentView to ResultsView. Using the salary, we calculated the tax breakdown in ResultsView, fixed an annoying error, and renamed ContentView to FrontView. Finally, we also implemented a few extra tasks for our tax calculator app.

In the next chapter, we’ll start our next application, which will be a photo gallery for the iPad. We will leverage many of the skills learned already, so feel free to take a moment and go back over anything you didn’t fully understand.
