53.1 UIViewControllers and SwiftUI
The UIView integration outlined in the previous chapter is useful for integrating either individual or small groups of UIKit-based components with SwiftUI. Existing iOS apps are likely to consist of multiple ViewControllers, each representing an entire screen layout and functionality (also referred to as scenes). SwiftUI allows entire view controller instances to be integrated via the UIViewControllerRepresentable protocol. This protocol is similar to the UIViewRepresentable protocol and works in much the same way with the exception that the method names are different.
The remainder of this chapter will work through an example that demonstrates the use of the UIViewControllerRepresentable protocol to integrate a UIViewController into SwiftUI.
