SwiftUIX

SwiftUIX attempts to fill the gaps of the still nascent SwiftUI framework, 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

• iOS 13, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13, or watchOS 6
• Swift 5.5+
• Xcode 13.0+

Installation

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

Xcode 11 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 SwiftUI.framework to the Linked Frameworks and Libraries, set Status to Optional.

Contents

All documentation is available via the repository wiki.

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)
      }

• 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:

      }
  }
  .currentPageIndex($...)
  .pageIndicatorAlignment(...)
  .pageIndicatorTintColor(...)

          SearchBar("Search...", text: $searchText, isEditing: $isEditing)
              .showsCancelButton(isEditing)
              .onCancel { print("Canceled!") }
      }
  }

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