SwiftUI: Mastering Stacks and Groups

In SwiftUI, creating an app usually involves more than just a single view, such as a basic “Hello World” app. To add multiple views, you need to use stacks. There are three types of stacks in SwiftUI: HStack, VStack, and ZStack. The Hello World app initially looks like this: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Text("Hello World") } } If you try to add a second Text view directly within the ContentView struct, like this:...

SwiftUI: Spacing

In the previous tutorial about SwiftUI, we discussed how views can be organized using stacks. Now, let’s dive into the topic of spacing. When using a VStack, you might notice that there is no space between the Text views by default. This is the default behavior of a VStack. However, you can adjust the spacing between the views by providing a spacing parameter: VStack(spacing: 100) { Text("Hello World") Text("Hello again!") } In this example, we set the spacing to 100 points, resulting in a 100-point gap between the views within the VStack....
