Getting ready

For this recipe, we will start with the playground from the previous recipe. The playground is called Simple_iOS.playground, and you can get it from the GitHub repository for this book at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Swift-Cookbook-Second-Edition/tree/master/Chapter07/01_Using_Swift_Playgrounds_for_UI
