Key benefits

  • Apply the declarative programming paradigm to build cross-platform UIs for Apple devices
  • Learn to integrate UIkit, Core Data, Firebase, and Sign in with Apple with SwiftUI
  • Adopt the new SwiftUI 3.0 features to build visually appealing UIs speedily

Description

SwiftUI provides an innovative and simple way to build beautiful user interfaces (UIs) for all Apple platforms, from iOS and macOS through to watchOS and tvOS, using the Swift programming language. In this recipe-based cookbook, you’ll cover the foundations of SwiftUI as well as the new SwiftUI 3 features introduced in iOS 15 and explore a range of essential techniques and concepts that will help you through the development process. The cookbook begins by explaining how to use basic SwiftUI components. Once you’ve learned the core concepts of UI development, such as Views, Controls, Lists, and ScrollViews, using practical implementations in Swift, you'll advance to adding useful features to SwiftUI using drawings, built-in shapes, animations, and transitions. You’ll understand how to integrate SwiftUI with exciting new components in the Apple development ecosystem, such as Combine for managing events and Core Data for managing app data. Finally, you’ll write iOS, macOS, and watchOS apps by sharing the same SwiftUI codebase. By the end of this SwiftUI book, you'll have discovered a range of simple, direct solutions to common problems encountered when building SwiftUI apps.

Who is this book for?

This book is for mobile developers who want to learn SwiftUI as well as experienced iOS developers transitioning from UIkit to SwiftUI. The book assumes knowledge of the Swift programming language. Knowledge of object-oriented design and data structures will be useful but not necessary. You'll also find this book to be a helpful resource if you're looking for reference material regarding the implementation of various features in SwiftUI.

What you will learn

  • Explore various layout presentations in SwiftUI such as HStack, VStack, LazyHStack, and LazyVGrid
  • Create widgets to quickly display relevant content at glance
  • Get up to speed with drawings in SwiftUI using built-in shapes, custom paths, and polygons
  • Discover modern animation and transition techniques in SwiftUI
  • Add user authentication using Firebase and Sign in with Apple
  • Manage concurrency with Combine and async/await in SwiftUI
  • Solve the most common SwiftUI problems, such as integrating a MapKit map, unit testing, snapshot testing, and previewing layouts

This book is a very nice option for swift developers to start using UI components to create powerful applications and apply UX concepts. The code samples available in GitHub are helpful to use for practice and template for new projects.Every chapter in this book is logically structured to guide the reader in the app design from scratch to the complexity of cross platform Apps.If you want to deep dive into swift yo world this is the book you need.

I originally learned SwiftUI by studying various tutorials online and writing code. That was a good intro but having a complete reference in a well organized book really helped fill in the gaps. I especially liked the more advanced features like binding and using Combine with SwiftUI...and by "combining" the book with the examples on Github, it allowed me to work along with each chapter.

It is not the next boring book that will stay on the bookshelf!I have fount this “Cookbook” approach working way better for me than any other books and even video tutorials.The examples are easy to follow. (I am sayng that from the point of person who passed a few online courses and books about SwiftUI)Only my criticism is about the format of examples - they could be colored and the first few are not arranged IDE style. But that's not big deal - I am coloring them myself and find that it my even help me to understand better what's going on.I have to admit the advantage of particularly this book the simplicity of using it like documentation / reference guide.If you are into dev field, the most valuable aspect of any learning source would be the time saving. Otherwize all of us would go to first to the official documentation :).So I just try to say that the book could be used for gate to the official ducumentation where we go when we need to check something deeply.The book provides the official documentation links, so really I would use it as my fist point of reference.I appreciate this book for either time saving and money saving. For this price and 616 pages which covers a lot, for me it is a bargain.Thanks to the authors for putting that effor and making this book!

I am an passionate iOS developer. It's been since quite some time I wanted to get hands on with SwiftUI. This book helped me get started and is one of the best book for SwiftUI with very good examples hosted on GitHub. I would like to thank Authors of this book @Giordano Scalzo & @Edgar Nzokwe for this book. Good to have in your library for iOS technology professionals.

The is a compressive book on SwifUI and provides clear examples that are well done. This book is to further your skills, but it assumes you understand and have basic programing knowledge and Swift knowledge. I found all the nice detail and deeper explanation a very good change of pace compared to most books. For those of you new to “cookbook” it’s a template of written code like a recipe hence the name cookbook. If you follow the steps in the book, you will get a really good idea on how to modify the code into something you will need in the future. As a matter of fact this book has answered questions for me on how to accomplish tasks.The only gripe I have is I had to run a clean build folder at one point but that means nothing in the long run because all code sometime requires this once in a while. But this is not worthy of a rating demotion.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
