how to use SwiftUI with UIList

To use SwiftUI with UIList, you can leverage the List view in SwiftUI, which is a powerful and flexible way to display a collection of data. Here are some key points and examples from the WWDC sessions:

1. Basic List Initialization:

   • You can initialize a List with a collection of data. This is similar to using a ForEach view, which generates views for each element in a collection and provides those to its container.
   • Example from SwiftUI essentials:

     List(pets) { pet in
         Text(pet.name)
     }
     

2. Customizing List Rows:

   • Lists can be customized through the use of view modifiers. For example, you can add swipe actions to each row.
   • Example from SwiftUI essentials:

     List(pets) { pet in
         Text(pet.name)
             .swipeActions {
                 Button("Award") {
                     // Action for awarding the pet
                 }
             }
     }
     

3. Using ForEach within a List:

   • You can also create a list by manually writing out a set of views or by using a ForEach view within the list.
   • Example from Demystify SwiftUI containers:

     List {
         ForEach(songIdeas) { song in
             Text(song.title)
         }
     }
     

4. Searchable Lists:

   • To make a list searchable, you can use the searchable modifier.
   • Example from Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI:

     @State private var searchTerm = ""
     
     var filteredPets: [Pet] {
         if searchTerm.isEmpty {
             return pets
         } else {
             return pets.filter { $0.name.contains(searchTerm) }
         }
     }
     
     var body: some View {
         List(filteredPets) { pet in
             Text(pet.name)
         }
         .searchable(text: $searchTerm)
     }
     

These examples illustrate how you can use SwiftUI's List view to create and customize lists, making it a powerful tool for building dynamic and interactive user interfaces. For more detailed information, you can refer to the sessions mentioned:
