An iOS Developer's Guide to SwiftUI

Part 1: Simple Views

In this part, you will be introduced to SwiftUI, the multiplatform UI framework from Apple that allows developers to build user interfaces for all Apple devices. These chapters have been designed for iOS developers in such a way that they guide you through the main concepts of SwiftUI and its practical implementation, offering a concrete base to develop powerful and visually beautiful applications.

You will start to explore the fundamentals of SwiftUI and its declarative syntax to build an intuitive and efficient UI. We’ll cover key concepts, such as views, modifiers, and state management, demonstrating how these components work together to build dynamic layouts.

You will learn to manage data well within SwiftUI, ensuring slick, dynamic user interfaces are produced through bindings, observable objects, and environment values.

This part will teach you how to work with animation and the gesture features of SwiftUI by applying them with a layer of polish and interactivity to your apps. You should reach the end of this section prepared with the knowledge and skills needed to begin using SwiftUI for your iOS development projects, making applications that are not only functional but also visually engaging.

This part contains the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Exploring the Environment – Xcode, Playgrounds, and SwiftUI
  • Chapter 2, Adding Basic UI Elements and Designing Layouts
  • Chapter 3, Adding Interactivity to a SwiftUI View

Description

SwiftUI has transformed app development across Apple Platforms, offering developers the power to build seamless user interfaces by just defining the UI design through intuitive Swift code. This book explores SwiftUI’s revolutionary declarative programming approach to assist you in designing UI for Apple devices, ranging from iPhones to Macs, by declaring what the app should look like and what it should do, leaving the heavy lifting to the operating system. With a hands-on approach, the book immerses you in the fundamentals of SwiftUI and goes on to cover SwiftUI parts that are omitted by most introductory guides. Starting with creating views and modifiers, you’ll progress to more intricate and responsive user interfaces and advanced techniques, gradually working toward building complex apps. Further, this book focuses on the new features in asynchronous programming and architecture patterns to design efficient, modern, and well-structured apps. Finally, you’ll explore the integration of UIkit and SwiftUI and how to run tests for a SwiftUI application. By the end of the book, you’ll have gained the confidence to harness the full potential of SwiftUI to build professional-grade applications.
