I have a life
It might surprise you but I actually have a life outside of making apps. I don’t want to bore you with the details but I didn’t get much done today.
Let’s dive right in. How do you set the initial state of a swiftUI view? Here’s how I did it
Setting SwiftUI initial state
import SwiftUI
struct MorningReminderView: View {
@State var hour = 5
@State var minute = 0
var body: some View {
VStack {
}.onAppear {
let app = Database().load()
self.hour = app.morningHour
self.minute = app.morningMinute
}
}
}
Custom fonts in swiftUI
There are three steps
- Add the font to the project and make sure it’s added to the target
- Add it to info.plist
- Call it in your code
let font = "IM_FELL_English_Roman"
Text("Set Your Morning Reminder Time")
.font(.custom(font, size: 16))
Serialize app state to a json file
Last thing about swiftUI today, serialize app state to a json file the ghetto way. Two parts, the first part is a class that handles loading and saving to the file along with json serialization, hey it does it all!
import Foundation
public struct App : Codable {
public var morningHour:Int
public var morningMinute:Int
public var eveningHour:Int
public var eveningMinute:Int
public var entries:[Entry]
}
public struct Entry : Codable {
public var goal:String
public var accomplished:String
public var timestamp:Int
}
public class Database {
let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0] as String
let db = "db.json"
func getDocumentsDirectory() -> URL {
let paths = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)
return paths[0]
}
public func save(app: App) {
let filename: URL = getDocumentsDirectory().appendingPathComponent(db)
let data: Data = try! JSONEncoder().encode(app)
try! data.write(to: filename)
}
public func load() -> App {
let filename: URL = getDocumentsDirectory().appendingPathComponent(db)
do {
let data = try Data(contentsOf: filename, options: .mappedIfSafe)
let app = try JSONDecoder().decode(App.self, from: data)
return app
} catch {
return App(morningHour: 7, morningMinute: 30, eveningHour: 21, eveningMinute: 0, entries: [])
}
}
}
The second part is the SwiftUI view
import SwiftUI
struct MorningReminderView: View {
@State var hour = 5
@State var minute = 0
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button(action: {
self.saveTime()
}) {
Text("Save")
.frame(width: 200)
.font(.custom(self.font, size: 24))
.padding()
.foregroundColor(Color.black)
.overlay(
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 40)
.stroke(Color.black, lineWidth: 2)
)
}
}
}
func saveTime() {
var app = Database().load()
app.morningHour = self.hour
app.morningMinute = self.minute
Database().save(app: app)
}
}
And that's that for today, I learned quite a bit and I hope it helps you handle the basics of any swiftUI app. Let me know if you want to learn swift, I'm on twitter (probably too much) or just leave a comment and if I can answer any of your questions, I will!
