SwiftUIX

SwiftUIX attempts to fill the gaps of SwiftUI, providing an extensive suite of components, extensions and utilities to complement the standard library. This project is by far the most complete port of missing UIKit/AppKit functionality, striving to deliver it in the most Apple-like fashion possible.

Why

The goal of this project is to complement the SwiftUI standard library, offering hundreds of extensions and views that empower you, the developer, to build applications with the ease promised by the revolution that is SwiftUI.

Requirements

[!Note]
Swift 5.10 is the minimum Swift version required to build SwiftUIX, Swift 5.9 is no longer supported.

• Deployment targets: iOS 13, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13, watchOS 6 and visionOS 1
• Xcode 15.4+

Installation

The preferred way of installing SwiftUIX is via the Swift Package Manager.

/// Package.swift
/// ...
dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/SwiftUIX/SwiftUIX.git", branch: "master"),
]
/// ...

Xcode 15 integrates with libSwiftPM to provide support for iOS, watchOS, macOS and tvOS platforms.

1. In Xcode, open your project and navigate to File → Swift Packages → Add Package Dependency…
2. Paste the repository URL (https://github.com/SwiftUIX/SwiftUIX) and click Next.
3. For Rules, select Branch (with branch set to master).
4. Click Finish.
5. Open the Project settings, add SwiftUIX.framework to the Linked Frameworks and Libraries, set Status to Optional.

Documentation

The SwiftUIX documentation can be found at:

https://swiftuix.github.io/SwiftUIX/documentation/swiftuix/

All documentation that hasn’t been migrated here is available via the repository wiki.

Contents

While the project itself is stable and heavily being used in production, its documentation is work-in-progress. Contributions are encouraged and welcomed.

Activity

• ActivityIndicator

  ActivityIndicator()
      .animated(true)
      .style(.large)
  

• AppActivityView - a SwiftUI port for UIActivityViewController.

  AppActivityView(activityItems: [...])
      .excludeActivityTypes([...])
      .onCancel { }
      .onComplete { result in
          foo(result)
      }
  

Appearance

• View/visible(_:) - Sets a view’s visibility.

CollectionView

Use CollectionView within your SwiftUI view, providing it with a data source and a way to build cells.

import SwiftUIX

struct MyCollectionView: View {
    let data: [MyModel] // Your data source

    var body: some View {
        CollectionView(data, id: \.self) { item in
            // Build your cell view
            Text(item.title)
        }
    }
}

Error Handling

• TryButton - A button capable of performing throwing functions.

Geometry

• flip3D(_:axis:reverse:) - Flips this view.
• RectangleCorner - A corner of a Rectangle.
• ZeroSizeView - A zero-size view for when EmptyView just doesn’t work.

Keyboard

• Keyboard - An object representing the keyboard.
• View/padding(.keyboard) - Pads this view with the active system height of the keyboard.

Link Presentation:

Use LinkPresentationView to display a link preview for a given URL.

LinkPresentationView(url: url)
    .frame(height: 192)

Navigation Bar

• View/navigationBarColor(_:) - Configures the color of the navigation bar for this view.
• View/navigationBarTranslucent(_:) - Configures the translucency of the navigation bar for this view.
• View/navigationBarTransparent(_:) - Configures the transparency of the navigation bar for this view.
• View/navigationBarLargeTitle(_:) - Set a custom view for the navigation bar’s large view mode.

Pagination

• PaginationView

  PaginationView(axis: .horizontal) {
      ForEach(0..<10, id: \.hashValue) { index in
          Text(String(index))
      }
  }
  .currentPageIndex($...)
  .pageIndicatorAlignment(...)
  .pageIndicatorTintColor(...)
  .currentPageIndicatorTintColor(...)
  

Scrolling

• View/isScrollEnabled(_:) - Adds a condition that controls whether users can scroll within this view. Works with:

  • CocoaList
  • CocoaScrollView
  • CollectionView
  • TextView

  Does not work with SwiftUI’s ScrollView.

Search

• SearchBar - A SwiftUI port for UISearchBar.

  struct ContentView: View {
      @State var isEditing: Bool = false
      @State var searchText: String = ""
  
      var body: some View {
          SearchBar("Search...", text: $searchText, isEditing: $isEditing)
              .showsCancelButton(isEditing)
              .onCancel { print("Canceled!") }
      }
  }
  

• View/navigationSearchBar(_:) - Sets the navigation search bar for this view.

  Text("Hello, world!")
      .statusItem(id: "foo", image: .system(.exclamationmark)) {

              .padding()
