To create a UIView in SwiftUI, you would typically start by understanding the fundamentals of views in SwiftUI, as they are the basic building blocks of user interfaces. SwiftUI views are declarative, compositional, and state-driven. You describe what view you want in your user interface, and SwiftUI produces the result. For example, you can create text, images using SF symbols, and controls like buttons. Here's a simple example of creating a horizontal stack with a label, spacer, and text:
HStack {
Label("Title", systemImage: "star")
Spacer()
Text("End")
}
This declarative syntax applies to other containers as well. If you need to integrate UIKit views into SwiftUI, you can use UIViewRepresentable, which allows you to create and update a UIKit view using imperative code. Conversely, you can embed a SwiftUI view into a UIKit view hierarchy using UIHostingController.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the SwiftUI essentials session from WWDC 2024, which covers the fundamentals of views and their capabilities in SwiftUI.
Demystify SwiftUI containers
Learn about the capabilities of SwiftUI container views and build a mental model for how subviews are managed by their containers. Leverage new APIs to build your own custom containers, create modifiers to customize container content, and give your containers that extra polish that helps your apps stand out.
