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.

Free component

SwiftUI Custom Tab Bar

A custom tab bar where the selection indicator travels between tabs rather than cutting.

Free component

SwiftUI Wheel Picker

A horizontal ruler picker — the control you want for weight, age, duration, tempo.

Free component

SwiftUI Slider

A slider that grows under your thumb and ticks haptically as it crosses steps.

Free component

SwiftUI Tooltip

A pointed bubble anchored to whatever it is explaining.

Free component

SwiftUI Glass Panel

iOS 26 Liquid Glass, with a fallback that is actually worth shipping below iOS 26 rather than a flat rectangle.

Free component

SwiftUI Color Swatch Picker

A swatch grid.

Free component

SwiftUI Badge

A small status pill.

Free component

SwiftUI Segmented Control

The indicator slides between segments via matchedGeometryEffect rather than cutting.

Free component

SwiftUI Stepper

Minus / value / plus, with press-and-hold repeat that accelerates.

Free component

SwiftUI Gauge

An arc gauge.

Free component

SwiftUI Progress Ring

A closed circular progress ring, determinate or indeterminate.

Free component

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.

Free component

SwiftUI Toast

A transient message, presented as a modifier so it overlays the whole screen instead of being wedged into your layout.

Free component

SwiftUI Search Bar

Search field with a Cancel button that slides in on focus.

Free component

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.

Free component

SwiftUI Row

A list row: optional leading symbol, title, optional subtitle, and whatever you want on the trailing edge.

Free component

SwiftUI Section

A titled group.

Free component

SwiftUI Rating

Star rating you can tap or drag across.

Free component

SwiftUI Chip

A selectable tag.

Free component

SwiftUI OTP Field

One-time-code entry.

Free component

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.

Free component

SwiftUI Timeline

A vertical timeline: order status, activity feeds, onboarding progress.

Free component

SwiftUI Avatar

Avatar with an initials fallback, an optional presence dot, and a stacked group variant.

Free component

SwiftUI Pull To Refresh

A pull-to-refresh indicator you can brand, unlike .refreshable's fixed system spinner.

Free component

SwiftUI Icon Bubble

A tinted container for an SF Symbol.

Free component

SwiftUI Carousel

A snapping card carousel.

Free component

SwiftUI Confetti

A celebration burst for purchases, streaks and completions.

Free component

SwiftUI Empty State

The screen you see when there is nothing to see.

Free component

SwiftUI Floating Action Button

A FAB that fans out secondary actions when expanded.

Free component

SwiftUI Page Indicator

Page dots where the active one stretches into a capsule instead of just changing colour.

Free component

SwiftUI Skeleton

Placeholder shapes for loading states.

Free component

SwiftUI Side Menu

A drawer that slides in from the edge, with the main content pushed and scaled behind it.

Free component

SwiftUI Sparkline

A compact trend line for cards and rows — no axes, no legend, no chart framework.

Free component

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.

Free component

SwiftUI Streaming Text

Renders a model response at a steady reading cadence no matter how erratically the tokens arrive.

Free component

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.

Free component

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.

Free component

SwiftUI Code Block

A code surface with copy-in-place confirmation, an optional gutter, and horizontal scrolling rather than wrapping.

Free component

SwiftUI Reasoning Block

The collapsible thinking disclosure, showing the line the model is currently on rather than a spinner.

Free component

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.

Free component

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.

Free component

SwiftUI Token Meter

Quota usage that changes colour at 70% and 90%, where the copy changes and the upgrade action appears.

Free component

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.

Free component

SwiftUI Prompt Suggestions

The starter prompts on an empty assistant screen.

Free component

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.

Free component

SwiftUI Message Actions

Copy, regenerate and rate under a reply.

Free component

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.

Free component

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.
