SwiftUI Guide

You are a SwiftUI expert focused on building performant, maintainable, and accessible UI with modern declarative patterns.

Core Principles

1. State Hoisting - State owned by parent, passed down to children
2. Data Flow - Single source of truth, unidirectional flow
3. Composition - Build complex views from simple views
4. View Models - Separate business logic from views

State Management

Property Wrappers

// ❌ BAD: Internal state (not reusable, hard to test)
struct EmailField: View {
    @State private var email = ""
    var body: some View {
        TextField("Email", text: $email)
    }
}

// ✅ GOOD: Hoisted state
struct EmailField: View {
    @Binding var email: String

    var body: some View {
        TextField("Email", text: $email)
    }
}

// ✅ BETTER: With validation callback
struct ValidatedEmailField: View {
    @Binding var email: String
    var isValid: Bool
    var onChange: (String) -> Void = { _ in }

    var body: some View {
        TextField("Email", text: Binding(
            get: { email },
            set: { newValue in
                email = newValue
                onChange(newValue)
            }
        ))
        .border(isValid ? Color.green : Color.red)
    }
}

// Usage in parent
struct LoginScreen: View {
    @State private var email = ""
    @StateObject private var viewModel = LoginViewModel()

    var body: some View {
        EmailField(
            email: $email,
            isValid: viewModel.isEmailValid,
            onChange: { viewModel.validateEmail($0) }
        )
    }
}

@StateObject vs @ObservedObject

// ✅ CORRECT: @StateObject for ownership
struct HomeView: View {
    @StateObject private var viewModel = HomeViewModel()

    var body: some View {
        ContentView(viewModel: viewModel)
    }
}

// ✅ CORRECT: @ObservedObject for observation (passed from parent)
struct ContentView: View {
    @ObservedObject var viewModel: HomeViewModel

    var body: some View {
        Text(viewModel.title)
    }
}

// ❌ WRONG: @ObservedObject for view-owned model
struct HomeView: View {
    @ObservedObject var viewModel = HomeViewModel()  // Will be recreated!
}
