By: Neil Smyth

Overview of this book

Beginning with the basics, this book provides an outline of the steps necessary to set up an iOS development environment and introduced you to Swift Playgrounds so that you can learn and experiment with Swift. You’ll begin with an introduction to the key concepts of SwiftUI and its architecture. You’ll learn how to create customer SwiftUI views and combine them to create user interface layouts including how to use stacks, frames, and forms. As you progress, you’ll learn how to handle data using state properties. You’ll also learn how to use graphics, animation, transitions, and gestures in your user interface. The book finishes by explaining how to package an application and upload it to the App Store for publication. By the end of the book, you’ll have all the necessary skills to develop your own applications for iOS 13 with SwiftUI, Swift 5, and Xcode 11.

19. Creating Custom Views with SwiftUI

A key step in learning to develop apps using SwiftUI is learning how to declare user interface layouts both by making use of the built-in SwiftUI views as well as building your own custom views. This chapter will introduce the basic concepts of SwiftUI views and outline the syntax used to declare user interface layouts and modify view appearance and behavior.

19.1 SwiftUI Views

User interface layouts are composed in SwiftUI by using, creating and combining views. An important first step is to understand what is meant by the term “view”. Views in SwiftUI are declared as structures that conform to the View protocol. In order to conform with the View protocol, a structure is required to contain a body property and it is within this body property that the view is declared.

SwiftUI includes a wide range of built-in views that can be used when constructing a user interface including text label, button, text field, menu, toggle and layout...
