To build custom views in SwiftUI, you can follow the guidance provided in the SwiftUI essentials session. A custom view in SwiftUI conforms to the View
protocol and has a body
property that returns the view it represents. This allows you to use the same view-building syntax for creating custom views, enabling compositional features and quick iteration.
Custom views can have inputs that change how their body is created, allowing for reuse across different data sets. For example, you can create a custom view to display information about different pets by adding a property for the pet and using that property in the view's body.
Additionally, the session Demystify SwiftUI containers provides insights into building custom container views in SwiftUI. It explains how container views use a trailing ViewBuilder
closure to wrap their content, allowing for both static and dynamic content definition.
For more advanced customization, the session Build a SwiftUI app with the new design discusses creating custom elements like Liquid Glass effects, which can be applied to custom views for a unique appearance.
These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of building custom views and containers in SwiftUI, offering both foundational knowledge and advanced techniques.
