Overview of this book

Released by Apple during WWDC 2019, SwiftUI provides an innovative and exceptionally simple way to build user interfaces for all Apple platforms with the power of Swift. This practical guide involves six real-world projects built from scratch, with two projects each for iPhone, iPad, and watchOS, built using Swift programming and Xcode. Starting with the basics of SwiftUI, you’ll gradually delve into building these projects. You’ll learn the fundamental concepts of SwiftUI by working with views, layouts, and dynamic types. This SwiftUI book will also help you get hands-on with declarative programming for building apps that can run on multiple platforms. Throughout the book, you’ll work on a chart app (watchOS), NBA draft app (watchOS), financial app (iPhone), Tesla form app (iPhone), sports news app (iPad), and shoe point-of-sale system (iPad), which will enable you to understand the core elements of a SwiftUI project. By the end of the book, you’ll have built fully functional projects for multiple platforms and gained the knowledge required to become a professional SwiftUI developer.

Updating our product views

Now we'll move on to updating our prototype and making it work with iCloud, as well as building out the interactivity. Before we jump into updating all of our files, we need to set up our ObservableObject. Open ShoePOSApp and add the following variables above the body variable:

@StateObject private var cart = ShoppingCart()

Next, update ContentView() with the following:

ContentView()
    .environmentObject(model)
    .environmentObject(cart)
    .onAppear {
        model.fetchAllProducts()
    }

We now have our environmentObject set up and the model fetching the products and brands when the app launches.

Next, we will update all of our views for the products, and then we will turn our attention to the cart views. Since SizeCartItemView is something we use in both views, we are going to start with this first:
