SwiftUI Component Tutorials
Production-quality SwiftUI component tutorials. Code-first, opinionated, indie-friendly. Each guide covers the API, common pitfalls, and how The Swift Kit handles it.
Last updated: 2026-07-17
The Swift Kit's SwiftUI tutorial hub covers every common component you'll ship in a production iOS app in 2026 — Button, TabView, NavigationStack, TextField, List, Sheet, Form, and more. Each tutorial is code-first, follows iOS 17+ best practices, supports Liquid Glass on iOS 26, and shows how the same pattern is implemented inside The Swift Kit's design system.
SwiftUI List Tutorial
Sections, swipe actions, custom rows, pull-to-refresh, search — production patterns.
SwiftUI Sheet, Modal & Bottom Sheet Guide
.sheet, .fullScreenCover, .presentationDetents — every modal API.
SwiftUI Button — Styles, ButtonStyle & Async Actions
Every Button style, a custom ButtonStyle, async actions, and iOS 26 Liquid Glass buttons.
SwiftUI TabView — Tabs, Paging & the iOS 26 Tab Bar
Tabs, paged carousels, programmatic selection, and the iOS 26 floating Liquid Glass tab bar.
SwiftUI NavigationStack — Type-Safe Navigation
Type-safe navigation with NavigationPath, deep-link restoration, and the NavigationView migration.
SwiftUI TextField — Focus, Validation & Multiline
Focus state, validation, formatting, SecureField, and iOS 16 multiline TextField.
SwiftUI Animation — Transitions, Springs & Keyframes
value-based animation, transitions, matchedGeometryEffect, springs, and iOS 26 keyframes.
SwiftUI Picker — Segmented, Menu & Wheel Styles
Segmented, menu, wheel, and navigationLink Picker styles bound to a CaseIterable enum.
SwiftUI Form — Sections & Settings Screens
Sections, grouped styles, and building a real Settings screen with LabeledContent.
SwiftUI Alert & Confirmation Dialog
.alert with actions, text-field alerts, and .confirmationDialog action sheets.
SwiftUI Toggle — Styles & Custom Switches
Switch and button toggle styles, a custom ToggleStyle, and gating premium features.
SwiftUI Grid & LazyVGrid — Layouts & Photo Grids
LazyVGrid with adaptive GridItems, pinned headers, and the iOS 16 static Grid.
SwiftUI Card View — Reusable Card Component
A reusable card component via ViewModifier, with shadows, tap navigation, and Liquid Glass.
SwiftUI ProgressView — Spinners & Progress Bars
Indeterminate spinners, determinate bars, custom styles, and async loading states.
SwiftUI Custom Tab Bar
A custom tab bar where the selection indicator travels between tabs rather than cutting.
SwiftUI Wheel Picker
A horizontal ruler picker — the control you want for weight, age, duration, tempo.
SwiftUI Slider
A slider that grows under your thumb and ticks haptically as it crosses steps.
SwiftUI Tooltip
A pointed bubble anchored to whatever it is explaining.
SwiftUI Glass Panel
iOS 26 Liquid Glass, with a fallback that is actually worth shipping below iOS 26 rather than a flat rectangle.
SwiftUI Color Swatch Picker
A swatch grid.
SwiftUI Badge
A small status pill.
SwiftUI Segmented Control
The indicator slides between segments via matchedGeometryEffect rather than cutting.
SwiftUI Stepper
Minus / value / plus, with press-and-hold repeat that accelerates.
SwiftUI Gauge
An arc gauge.
SwiftUI Progress Ring
A closed circular progress ring, determinate or indeterminate.
SwiftUI Neumorphic Card
Soft UI: two shadows, one light from the top-left and one dark from the bottom-right, so the surface appears extruded from its background.
SwiftUI Toast
A transient message, presented as a modifier so it overlays the whole screen instead of being wedged into your layout.
SwiftUI Search Bar
Search field with a Cancel button that slides in on focus.
SwiftUI Navigation Bar
A navigation bar that fades in its background as content scrolls under it, rather than sitting on an opaque slab from the first pixel.
SwiftUI Row
A list row: optional leading symbol, title, optional subtitle, and whatever you want on the trailing edge.
SwiftUI Section
A titled group.
SwiftUI Rating
Star rating you can tap or drag across.
SwiftUI Chip
A selectable tag.
SwiftUI OTP Field
One-time-code entry.
SwiftUI Accordion
Expand/collapse with the chevron rotating on the same spring as the height change, so the two read as one movement instead of two.
SwiftUI Timeline
A vertical timeline: order status, activity feeds, onboarding progress.
SwiftUI Avatar
Avatar with an initials fallback, an optional presence dot, and a stacked group variant.
SwiftUI Pull To Refresh
A pull-to-refresh indicator you can brand, unlike .refreshable's fixed system spinner.
SwiftUI Icon Bubble
A tinted container for an SF Symbol.
SwiftUI Carousel
A snapping card carousel.
SwiftUI Confetti
A celebration burst for purchases, streaks and completions.
SwiftUI Empty State
The screen you see when there is nothing to see.
SwiftUI Floating Action Button
A FAB that fans out secondary actions when expanded.
SwiftUI Page Indicator
Page dots where the active one stretches into a capsule instead of just changing colour.
SwiftUI Skeleton
Placeholder shapes for loading states.
SwiftUI Side Menu
A drawer that slides in from the edge, with the main content pushed and scaled behind it.
SwiftUI Sparkline
A compact trend line for cards and rows — no axes, no legend, no chart framework.
SwiftUI Chat Bubble
A message bubble whose body and tail are one continuous path, so a border follows the silhouette instead of running around two shapes.
SwiftUI Streaming Text
Renders a model response at a steady reading cadence no matter how erratically the tokens arrive.
SwiftUI Chat Composer
A growing input bar whose trailing button changes job rather than multiplying: dictate when empty, send when there is a draft, stop while the model is answering.
SwiftUI Markdown View
Markdown rendered as real blocks — headings, lists, quotes, rules and fenced code — with inline parsing handed to Foundation so bold, links and inline code still work inside a bullet.
SwiftUI Code Block
A code surface with copy-in-place confirmation, an optional gutter, and horizontal scrolling rather than wrapping.
SwiftUI Reasoning Block
The collapsible thinking disclosure, showing the line the model is currently on rather than a spinner.
SwiftUI Tool Call Card
Names the action an agent is taking while it takes it, with an indeterminate bar that proves the app is alive without pretending to measure progress.
SwiftUI Citation Chip
An inline source marker sized to sit inside a sentence without breaking its rhythm, with a fixed minimum width so one- and two-digit citations do not jitter the line.
SwiftUI Token Meter
Quota usage that changes colour at 70% and 90%, where the copy changes and the upgrade action appears.
SwiftUI Model Picker
Model selection in plain language: every row carries a subtitle saying what the trade is and a badge for fast, balanced or powerful, with the raw identifier kept in monospace for the people who want it.
SwiftUI Prompt Suggestions
The starter prompts on an empty assistant screen.
SwiftUI Voice Orb
A microphone target whose ring reacts to real audio level, drawn in a single Canvas so 44 bars cost one draw instead of 44 layout passes.
SwiftUI Message Actions
Copy, regenerate and rate under a reply.
SwiftUI Attachment Tray
Files staged for sending, each with its own progress ring on the thumbnail rather than one shared bar — three uploads at three speeds cannot be described by a single percentage.
SwiftUI Conversation Row
A row for the conversation list, with a timestamp that adapts to age — a time today, a weekday this week, a date beyond.
