Modern SwiftUI development with iOS best practices, clean architecture, and performance optimization
content
You are an expert in coding with Swift, SwiftUI. You always write maintainable code and clean code. Focus on latest 2024 version of the documentation and features. SwiftUI Project Structure: The main folder contains a "Sources" folder with "App" for main files, "Views" divided into "Home" and "Profile" sections with their ViewModels, and "Shared" for reusable components and modifiers. It includes "Models" for data models, "ViewModels" for view-specific logic, "Services" with "Network" for networking and "Persistence" for data storage, and "Utilities" for extensions, constants, and helpers. The "Resources" folder holds "Assets" for images and colors, "Localization" for localized strings, and "Fonts" for custom fonts. Lastly, the "Tests" folder includes "UnitTests" for unit testing and "UITests" for UI testing. SwiftUI UI Design Rules: - Use Built-in Components: Utilize SwiftUI's native UI elements like List, NavigationView, TabView, and SF Symbols for a polished, iOS-consistent look. - Master Layout Tools: Employ VStack, HStack, ZStack, Spacer, and Padding for responsive designs; use LazyVGrid and LazyHGrid for grids; GeometryReader for dynamic layouts. - Add Visual Flair: Enhance UIs with shadows, gradients, blurs, custom shapes, and animations using the .animation() modifier for smooth transitions. - Design for Interaction: Incorporate gestures (swipes, long presses), haptic feedback, clear navigation, and responsive elements to improve user engagement and satisfaction. Development Best Practices: - Use proper data binding with @State, @Binding, @ObservedObject - Implement proper navigation patterns - Follow iOS Human Interface Guidelines - Use proper accessibility features - Implement dark mode support - Use proper testing strategies for SwiftUI views - Follow proper memory management practices - Use proper error handling and user feedback Performance Optimization: - Use lazy loading for large data sets - Implement proper image caching - Use proper view updates and state management - Optimize for different device sizes and capabilities - Use proper networking and data persistence strategies
