SwiftUI gives us two different modifiers to modify the spacing between letters in a text. Depending on our need we can either space the letters more tightly or further apart depending on what you want. The two modifiers tracking() and kerning() are used for adding space between the letters, but tracking will pull apart ligatures… Read More »
Like many other text UI’s SwiftUI’s Text wraps across multiple lines, they align to their leading edge by default. You can change that behavior, by using swiftUI’s ‘multilineTextAlignment()’ modifier to specify an alternative like .center, .trailing etc. For example, this will center several lines of text as they wrap across lines: Let’s use a picker… Read More »
From iOS 13 onwards apple has introduced text formatting API named ‘Format’ and it is capable of showing dates, arrays and measurements and more. If you use the .list() format type with an array of strings, you can get neatly formatted lists such as “Jay, Modi, and Webber”.

A text view draws a string in your app’s user interface using a body font that’s appropriate for the current platform. You can choose a different standard font, like title or caption, using the font(_:) view modifier. Text views give us predictably wide range of controls in terms of how they look. They are also designed to work seamlessly alongside core apple… Read More »
Text views are used to show static text on screen. They are equal to UILabel in UIKit. The most basic type of UILabel looks like: Inside the preview window for the content view, you may see “Automatic preview updating paused”. Sometimes it shows like that, go ahead and press Resume to have swift start building… Read More »

In Swift, Core Data is a powerful framework provided by Apple for managing the model layer objects in an application. A Core Data stack refers to the set of objects and configurations used to interact with the Core Data framework. The Core Data stack typically consists of three main components: 2. Persistent Store Coordinator (PSC):… Read More »
Setting up a Core Data stack in Swift involves several steps, including creating a managed object model, setting up a persistent store coordinator, managed object context, and other components. Here’s a basic guide to setting up a Core Data stack in Swift: Create a Data Model: Generate NSManagedObject Subclasses: Initialize the Persistent Store Coordinator: Managed… Read More »
In Swift, enumerations (enums) are powerful constructs that allow you to define a group of related values. Associated values in Swift enums enhance their flexibility by enabling each enum case to carry additional data of varying types. This feature allows you to model more complex data structures and behaviors with enums. Here’s how you can… Read More »
Protocol-oriented programming (POP) is an approach to software development in Swift that emphasizes the use of protocols to define interfaces and behavior, promoting code reuse, flexibility, and composability. POP encourages structuring code around protocols rather than classes, focusing on what types can do rather than what they are. Key concepts of protocol-oriented programming in Swift… Read More »
In iOS development using UIKit, a UIView is a fundamental building block for constructing the user interface. Two important properties of a UIView are its frame and bounds. These properties define the size and location of the view within its superview. frame: In this example, myView is positioned at (50, 50) within its superview, and… Read More »
UIKit and SwiftUI are both UI frameworks used in iOS development, but they differ significantly in terms of design, architecture, and development approach. Here are some key differences between UIKit and SwiftUI: 1. Declarative vs Imperative 2. UI Layout 3. Code re-usability 4. Live preview 5. UI Representation 6. State management 7. Adoption and Legacy… Read More »
In SwiftUI, you can pass data from one view to another using the @State, @Binding, @ObservedObject, or @EnvironmentObject property wrappers. The appropriate choice depends on the nature of the data and the relationship between the views. Below are brief explanations and examples for each approach: 1. @State : Use @State to store simple values within… Read More »
Button action calls for an action when user tap on a button. This may be for making a service call, for doing some calculation or simply just to dismiss a view.

To convert a date from Central Standard Time (CST) to Indian Standard Time (IST), you need to consider the time zone difference between these two zones. Below are examples in Swift : Swift: Java: Python: JavaScript: These examples assume a specific date and time format. You should adjust the date format and time zone identifiers… Read More »
Apart from other languages, when you write a class in Swift, It should have a initialiser. To solve this we have to write init() function in that particular class. Just like below. For example, look at the below class. Here we have 5 variables. The above error usually comes when you don’t initialize all variables… Read More »
Swift introduces Optionals type, which handles the absence of a value. Optionals say if there are set a value, then take that value, it can be of any type AND else it is nil. Basically It has two possible values, None and Some(T), where T is an associated value of the correct data type available… Read More »
This is actually fairly simple… 1. Create a new Swift file and name it say “MyConstants.swift”. 2. Declare your constants like below.. 3. Now you can directly use “NOTIFICATION_ID” in any class, Swift will directly import it for you. Thats all….
