Swift Cookbook

Mastering the Building Blocks

The previous chapter explained the basic types that form the building blocks of the Swift language. In this chapter, we will build on this knowledge to create more complex structures, such as arrays and dictionaries, before moving on and looking at some of the little gems Swift offers, such as tuples and type aliases. Finally, we’ll round off this chapter by looking at extensions and access control – both of which are key components that contribute to a sound yet efficient code base.

By the end of this chapter, you will be better equipped to organize and handle any data you’ll want to work with in your apps, plus the ability to make the code that interacts with your data more flexible to your needs!

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Bundling variables into tuples
  • Ordering your data with arrays
  • Containing your data in sets
  • Storing key-value pairs with dictionaries
  • Subscripts for custom types
  • Changing your name with a type alias
  • Getting property-changing notifications using property observers
  • Extending functionality with extensions
  • Controlling access with access control

Let’s get started!

The Swift Cookbook features a number of "recipes" for putting together typical screens and features you'll need to implement as an iOS engineer. The explanations are very clear and easy to follow, with code samples available via Github.We're in a weird time in iOS development (summer 2024) where there are a number of well-defined "legacy" solutions competing with the new hotness technologies Apple has rolled out in recent years. This fragmentation may prove confusing if you are just learning. For instance, there are two UI frameworks supported by Apple, UIKit (legacy) and SwiftUI (contemporary), and this book covers a little of both, but does not go deep in either. Similarly, we have a couple different concurrency models to choose from, and the Cookbook provides examples of each, but does not go in depth.This is more the kind of book you can review to get started using a framework or feature (CoreML, VisionOS, networking, etc.) than a way to go deep in any one. The step-by-step directions are clear and easy to follow. I would highly recommend it!Disclosure: I received a copy of this book for review purposes but was not paid anything.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.The preponderance of code samples provided helped explain all of the topics espoused.I really enjoyed the unique format that this book employed: "Getting ready," "How to do it," "How it works," "There's more," and "See also."I would highly recommend this book. It offers a set of highly tested recipes that any Swift developer could follow.
