SwiftUI

Issue #919 WWDC23 introduces lots of new additions to SwiftUI, notably Metal shader support with these modifiers colorEffect: Returns a new view that applies shader to self as a filter effect on the color of each pixel. layerEffect: Returns a new view that applies shader to self as a filter on the raster layer created from self. distortionEffect: Returns a new view that applies shader to self as a geometric distortion effect on the location of each pixel....

Issue #899 Use NSTitlebarAccessoryViewController var titleBarAccessoryVC: NSTitlebarAccessoryViewController { let vc = NSTitlebarAccessoryViewController() let view = HStack { Spacer() Button { } label: { Text("Save") } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) .controlSize(.large) } .padding(.horizontal) vc.view = NSHostingView(rootView: view) return vc } let window: NSWindow = ... window.addTitlebarAccessoryViewController(titleBarAccessoryVC)

Issue #898 Change element position using either offset or position, and use DragGesture Use GestureState to store the updating startDragLocation to keep the start location when drag begins, so we can add translation struct MoveModifier: ViewModifier { @Binding var position: CGPoint @GestureState private var startLocation: CGPoint? func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .gesture(gesture) } private var gesture: some Gesture { DragGesture() .onChanged { value in var position = startLocation ?...

Issue #897 During continuous events like dragging or TextField typing, and we have a Picker onscreen with large data set, it will slow down main thread. One option is to explicitly conform that view to Equatable struct FontPicker: View, Equatable { @Binding var fontFamily: String var body: some View { Picker("", selection: $fontFamily) { ForEach(NSFontManager.shared.availableFontFamilies, id: \.self) { family in Text(family) .tag(family) } } } static func == (l: FontPicker, r: FontPicker) -> Bool { l....

Issue #896 Use underscore _focus we get access to underlying FocusState object, but underscore _ is private to a View hence can’t be used in extension If we want to pass FocusState to another View or in extension, we can pass its Binding enum FocusElement: Hashable { case name case email } struct ParentView: View { @FocusState var focus: FocusElement? var body: some View { ChildView1(focus: _focus) ChildView2(focus: $focus) } } struct ChildView1: View { @FocusState var focus: FocusElement?...

Issue #895 Apply .move on reversed array List(selection: $viewModel.selectedBook) { ForEach(viewModel.books.reversed()) { book in BookCell(book: book) } .onMove { source, dest in var reversed = Array(viewModel.books.reversed()) reversed.move(fromOffsets: source, toOffset: dest) viewModel.books = reversed.reversed() } }

Issue #894 Use a UIView as source view and set it in background class ViewModel { lazy var sourceView = UIView() } struct SourceView: UIViewRepresentable { let viewModel: ViewModel func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UIView { viewModel.sourceView } func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIView, context: Context) {} } Button(action: { onShowAlert(viewModel.sourceView) }) { Image(systemName: "bookmark") } .background(SourceView(viewModel: viewModel)) let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet) alertController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = viewModel.sourceView

Issue #892 WWDC21 Building a Great Mac App with SwiftUI Add Rich Graphics to Your SwiftUI App

Issue #891 Below are my favorite WWDC videos. My focus is to use SwiftUI to make useful apps with great UX. I don’t pay much attention to new frameworks as they come and go, but the underlying reasons and design principles are worth remembering. WWDC23 The SwiftUI cookbook for focus Discussing some of the things that you can do with focus APIs in SwiftUI to cook up a really great user experience...

Issue #890 In WWDC21, WWDC22 Apple provide a Slack channel https://wwdc22.slack.com/ for people to interact with Apple engineers in digital lounges. Here I note down some interesting Q&As WWDC22 What’s the difference between a custom ViewModifier vs View extension Q: What’s the difference between a custom ViewModifier (without DynamicProperty) that uses some built-in modifiers in body(content:), and a custom View extension func that just use those built-in modifiers? Similarly, what’s the difference between a custom ViewModifier with some DynamicProperty and a custom View with some DynamicProperty (also has a @ViewBuilder content property to receive content to modify) ?...

Issue #882 In SwiftUI, .popover shows as popover on Mac and iPad, but as .sheet on iPhone (compact size class) We can use minWidth, minHeight to specify sizes on Mac and iPad. On iPhone, we can check and wrap it inside NavigationView. Setting navigationTitle without being embedded in NavigationView has not effect `` .popover(isPresented: $showsEdit) { EditSnippetView( snippet: snippet ) .frame(minWidth: 300, alignment: .topLeading) .navigationTitle("Tags") .modifier( EmbedInNavigationModifier() ) }

Issue #881 Specify optional value for List(selection:). This keeps selection on macOS, but not on iPad. On iPad each row in the List needs to be NavigationLink, no need for .tag. The selection is not updated, need to manually update with onTapGesture For List selection to work, make sure selection binding type matches. Preferablly using ID than Self Need to specify id in ForEach for List to infer tag. Otherwise, need to specify tag for cell struct Sidebaer: View { class ViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var group: BookGroup?...

Issue #878 Note that Explicit id is needed, although Book already conforms to Identifiable selection needs a default value class BookViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var books: [Book] = [] @Published var selectedBooks: Set<Book> = [] } List(selection: $viewModel.selectedBooks) { ForEach(viewModel.books, id: \.self) { book in BookRow(book: book) } }

Issue #877 Over the course of making several SwiftUI apps, I’ve discovered quite a few hidden magic of SwiftUI that are quite fun. Here are 6 interesting SwiftUI features in View Builder many don’t know are even possible 🤯 View protocol with enum Struct is not the only way to describe #SwiftUI views. Learn how you can achieve the same thing with just enum Conform primitive type to View protocol You can also conform any value type or primitive type to View protocol...
