Dr. Dominik Hauser

Dr. Dominik Hauser is an iOS developer working for a small company in western Germany. In over 11 years as an iOS developer, he has worked on many different apps, both large and small. In his spare time, Dominik builds small (often silly) apps and explores how he can become a better iOS developer. He talks at conferences, writes books, and is active in the iOS community in general. His most successful open source component (in terms of stars) is a pull-to-refresh control for a table view that consists of an actual SpriteKit game. Before Dominik became an iOS developer, he was a physicist, researching the most powerful photon sources within our galaxy.

Adding a title text field

As always, we start with the test. Follow these steps to add a text field for the title of a to-do item to the input view:

  1. Select the ToDoTests group in the project navigator and add a Unit Test Case Class with the name ToDoItemInputViewTests. Remove the two template test methods.
  2. Import the ViewInspector library and the main target (ToDo) so that it is testable (@testable):
    // ToDoItemInputViewTests.swift
    import XCTest
    @testable import ToDo
    import ViewInspector
  3. Before we can write tests for a SwiftUI view, we first need to extend it with the Inspectable protocol from the ViewInspector library. Add the following line right above the test case class:
    // ToDoItemInputViewTests...
