SwiftUI Project 5, Day 1

Posted on Thu 01 July 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui

Some more bits of 100 Days of SwiftUI done today.

Nothing really new for me with Lists or using the app Bundle, but I hadn't used UITextChecker before, either in Swift or in Objective-C. Cool to see how to bridge from Swift strings to Objective-C strings.

More fun was experimenting …

SwiftUI Project 4, Day 3

Posted on Wed 30 June 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui

Another day, another bit of 100 Days of SwiftUI done.

If yesterday was simple, today was simpler. The challenges amounted to: - changing some VStacks to Sections, something I'd already settled on yesterday since I didn't like how the VStacks were looking, - swapping a Stepper with a Picker, which just required …

SwiftUI Project 4, Day 2

Posted on Tue 29 June 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui

You guessed it, more 100 Days of SwiftUI.

Today was pretty simple, adding the CoreML model to the BetterRest app and wiring it up to the UI. It was the first time I've worked with a non-image model in an iOS app, but it was still really straightforward.

I'm going …

Yay, more 100 Days of SwiftUI today!

I worked on some basic stuff: using Stepper to step through a range of numbers, and using DatePicker. I don't think I'll have much use for Stepper in an iNat app, but the SwfitUI DatePicker will be a signficant improvement to the third …

SwiftUI Consolidation

Posted on Sun 27 June 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui

Another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI - today was some consolidation and a challenge. We reviewed most of what we've covered the past few days, read about a few important things like making your own bindings using Binding(), and then did a Rock Paper Scissors game challenge. No code to …

Swift UI Project 3, Day 2

Another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI today, basically applying the fundamentals we learned about yesterday.

My favorite part of it was that I got to use my new knowledge to make a custom Shape for .clipShape for a side project at work. I need a way to clip a …

More 100 Days of SwiftUI today, learning some fundamentals for how SwiftUI actually does things under the hood.

Mostly review for me, but it was cool to go over custom view composition again since that's something I haven't done in a while. One thing new for me, I didn't realize …

Swift UI Project 2, Day 3

Posted on Thu 24 June 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui

I didn't sleep well last night - lingering pain from the dentist yesterday, and I also just don't really sleep anymore.

However, this morning I did get a early crack at 100 Days of SwiftUI, wrapping up the GuessTheFlag tutorial and doing a few challenges. Nothing new to me in SwiftUI …

Swift UI Project 2, Day 2

Posted on Wed 23 June 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui

Another slow day with a bit of 100 Days of SwiftUI work. I also went to the dentist today and that sucked, so there's that.

Meanwhile I'm working on this flag guessing app.

Nothing truly new this time around, only casual / inconsequential feedback about clipping a country flag inside a …

Another fun day with 100 Days of SwiftUI.

Some more basic views, but I'm already learning new stuff. I had no idea you could use colors and gradients directly as views! So cool. Also, it's pretty neat how .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) modies one view or a group of views to extend …
