In this blog, I will be implementing an app using SwiftUI.
1.create a new project with SwiftUI
interface
2.create a new file called 'ListView' using SwiftUI View
under User Interface
3.Edit the main app to use the 'ListView' created earlier
import SwiftUI
// main entry point of your app UI
@main
struct w12c2_SwiftUIApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ListView() // call ListView.swift
}
}
}
4.create a 'Employee' class
import Foundation
// To ways to uniquely identify data
// Hashable: hash the listview in particular hasher to prodive unique hash value which can be used as an id
// used when you can't provide id
// **1.Keypath** - has to conform to `Hashable` protocol, so that the list view can hash it in a `Hasher` to produce an integer hash value that can uniquely identify each element.
struct Employee: Hashable {
var name: String
var isPresent: Bool
}
// **2.`Identifiable`** protocol by providing an `id` variable
struct Team: Identifiable {
var id = UUID() // need id for Identifiable
var name: String
var employee: [Employee]
}
5.create another file, 'EmployeeRow'
import SwiftUI
struct EmployeeRow: View {
let employee: Employee
var body: some View {
HStack {
Text(employee.name)
Spacer() //takes entire space of the element. take the mid space between name and image
Image(systemName: "person.circle.fill")
// modifier
.foregroundColor(employee.isPresent ? .green: .red)
}
}
}
struct EmployeeRow_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
// need to give initiaize value for the preview screen
EmployeeRow(employee: Employee(name: "Test name", isPresent: true))
}
}
6.create another file, 'EmployeeView'
import SwiftUI
struct EmployeeView: View {
let employee: Employee
var body: some View {
VStack {
HStack {
Text("Employee:")
Spacer()
Text(employee.name)
// modifier
.bold()
}
HStack {
Text("Status:")
Spacer()
Text(employee.isPresent ? "Present" : "Absent")
.bold()
}
}
.padding()
}
}
struct EmployeeView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
EmployeeView(employee: Employee(name: "Test name", isPresent: true))
}
}
7.NavigationStack
and NavigationLink
are used to move from one View to another
// ListView
import SwiftUI
struct ListView: View {
let teams: [Team] = [
Team(name: "Frontend", employee: [Employee(name: "James", isPresent: false),
Employee(name: "Jane", isPresent: true)]),
Team(name: "Backend", employee: [Employee(name: "Avelyn", isPresent: true)]),
Team(name: "Product", employee: [Employee(name: "Mike", isPresent: false)]),
Team(name: "Design", employee: [Employee(name: "Jane", isPresent: true),
Employee(name: "Ravi", isPresent: false)]),
Team(name: "Testing", employee: [Employee(name: "Lyndon", isPresent: true)]),
]
// when use hashable in a struct
var body: some View {
// how to create a tableview and section
// option 1 - use foreach
NavigationStack {
List {
ForEach(teams) { team in
Section(team.name) {
// we use id here as Employee struct uses 'Hashable'
ForEach(team.employee, id: \.self) { employee in
// when you click the row -> navigate users to different screen
NavigationLink {
// Destination
EmployeeView(employee: employee)
} label: {
// Link
EmployeeRow(employee: employee)
}
}
}
}
.navigationTitle("Employees")
// modifiers: modify and provide a new View
.listStyle(.grouped)
}
}
// option 2 - Use List to handle for loop
// List(teams) { team in
// Section(team.name) {
// ForEach(team.employee, id: \.self) { employee in
// Text(employee.name)
// }
// }
// }
}
}
struct ListView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ListView()
}
}
