Introducing the Swift Charts framework

Creating charts that are simple and easy to use was always a challenge. Unlike Tables, Collection views, or Lists, most third-party chart frameworks never felt natural in UIKit/SwiftUI.

In iOS 16, Apple announced Swift Charts, a SwiftUI framework that presents structured data in a chart and fits nicely in a SwiftUI view.

Let’s see an example of a bar chart:

import Charts
struct BarMarkView: View {
    struct Sales: Identifiable {
        var id: UUID = UUID()
        let itemType: String
        let qty: Int
    }
    let data: [Sales] = [
        Sales(itemType: "Apples", qty: 50),
        Sales(itemType: "Oranges", qty: 60),
    &...
