This week we rebuild SwiftUI's binding from scratch so that it can be used to power navigation in UIKit. It sounds intimidating to rebuild Binding, but we take it one step at a time and employ some advanced features of Swift to accomplish this feat. 👉

Episode #286: Modern UIKit: Tree-based Navigation

While SwiftUI bindings were almost the perfect tool for UIKit navigation, they unfortunately hide some crucial information that we need to build out our tools. But never fear, we can rebuild them...

The animation(_:) view modifier has been deprecated in SwiftUI, and for good reason! This modifier tried animating *everything* in a view, which is fraught and difficult to get right. It is safer to use animation(_:value:) for implicit and withAnimation for explicit animations!

@pointfreeco , will there be an official swift package collection of all your open source libraries? While its not crucial in any way, I think it would be an awesome 🎄🎁 for your follower cult (myself included 😀).

This is a cool way to visualize the modularity of a code base, such as @isowords : This is 92 Swift modules that can be built, tested, and many can even be run, in isolation. It's a fantastic way to develop.

A few weeks ago we made use of Swift's powerful runtime metadata to compute the "tag" of any enum. Then we realized we could leverage that power to provide a huge performance boost to a critical part of the Composable Architecture 🤯 Learn how 👉

This demo is showing that TCA can be used to build UIKit apps just as easily as SwiftUI apps. Both versions run off the same source of truth, which means when you close one game and open the other, it automatically resumes where you left off. Deep-linking without the pain 🤯

The Composable Architecture's fundamental unit of effect is modeled on Combine publishers because it was the most modern asynchrony tool at the time. Now Swift has native concurrency tools, and so we want to make use of those tools in the library. 👉
