What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Open a specific SwiftUI animation or layout example in Xcode to understand how a feature works before using it in your own app.

USE CASE 2

Copy code from a mini-app like a weather app or to-do list to speed up building similar UI patterns in your project.

USE CASE 3

Compare SwiftUI and UIKit approaches side by side using the examples in this and the linked UIKit collection.

Requires macOS with Xcode installed, each example is a separate Xcode project you open and run individually.

So what is it?

This repository is a collection of example projects built with SwiftUI, Apple's framework for building apps on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. SwiftUI was introduced at Apple's developer conference in 2019 as a new way to design app interfaces using Swift code rather than dragging elements in a visual editor. This repo collects working code examples demonstrating how to use different parts of the framework. The examples cover a wide range of topics: layouts, animations, gestures, drawing shapes and paths, handling user input, loading images from the network, connecting to a web API, building lists and navigation, and working with the older UIKit interface system alongside SwiftUI. There are also complete mini-apps like a 2048 game, a calculator, a to-do app, a weather app, a currency converter, and a side menu component, among others. Each example is a separate Xcode project stored in the repository. The README consists mostly of a navigation list and animated screenshot previews showing what each example looks like when running on a device. Some entries link to source code in other repositories maintained by different authors. The repository also includes links to a related collection of UIKit components, for developers who work with the older Apple interface framework. This resource suits iOS and iPadOS developers who are learning SwiftUI and want runnable, specific code examples they can open in Xcode and experiment with, rather than reading abstract documentation. It is organized as a reference collection rather than as a single app or library.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I'm learning SwiftUI and want to understand custom animations. Which example in the ivanvorobei/swiftui collection demonstrates animations, and can you walk me through the key code?
Prompt 2
Show me how to implement a side menu navigation component in SwiftUI similar to the example in the ivanvorobei/swiftui collection.
Prompt 3
I need to load images from a URL in my SwiftUI app. Walk me through the networking image-loading pattern from the ivanvorobei/swiftui examples.
Prompt 4
I have a UIKit component I want to embed in a SwiftUI view. How does the ivanvorobei/swiftui collection demonstrate mixing UIKit and SwiftUI?
