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.

Updating HighlightView

The first thing I will do is update the code to align with my coding standards; feel free to do the same. Now, we will add five state variables. One will be used to track whether an image has been clicked, and the other four will be used to pass data from the HighlightView to the EnhancedView. Add the code after the adaptive columns like so:

private let adaptiveColumns =[
    GridItem( .adaptive( minimum: 300 ) )
]
@State private var isClicked: Bool = false
@State private var imageFile: String = ""
@State private var imageName: String = ""
@State private var imageDate: String = ""
@State private var imageDescription: String = ""

Now, update the body to match the following code:

var body: some View{
    NavigationView
    {
        ScrollView
        {
    ...
