- SequenceBuilder - Allows you to build arbitrary heterogenous sequences without loosing information about the underlying types. It is especially useful for building custom container views in SwiftUI.

let content: Content
init(@SequenceBuilder builder: () -> Content) {
self.content = builder()
}
var body: some View {

HStack(alignment: .top) {
Text("\(index + 1). ")
content
}

EnumerationView {
Text("Some text")
VStack {
ForEach(0..<10, id: \.self) { _ in
Text("Lorem ipsum dolet.")

struct MySchema: Schema {
var entities: Entities {
Foo.self
Bar.self
Baz.self
}
}
- ComposableNavigator - The ComposableNavigator is based on the concept of PathBuilder composition in form of a NavigationTree. A NavigationTree composes PathBuilders to describe all valid navigation paths in an application. That also means that all screens in our application are accessible via a pre-defined navigation path.
struct AppNavigationTree: NavigationTree {
let homeViewModel: HomeViewModel
let detailViewModel: DetailViewModel
let settingsViewModel: SettingsViewModel
var builder: some PathBuilder {
Screen(
HomeScreen.self,
content: {
HomeView(viewModel: homeViewModel)
},
nesting: {
DetailScreen.Builder(viewModel: detailViewModel),
SettingsScreen.Builder(viewModel: settingsViewModel)
}
)
}
}
Based on AppNavigationTree
, the following navigation paths are valid:
/home
/home/detail?id=0
/home/settings
More information on the NavigationTree
and how to compose PathBuilder
s can be found here.

- MenuBuilder - A convenient way to create menus.

MenuItem("About") {
// rendered as disabled items in a submenu
MenuItem("Version 1.2.3")
MenuItem("Copyright 2021")
}
MenuItem("Quit")
.shortcut("q")
.onSelect { NSApp.terminate(nil) }
