How to Outsource Functions in SwiftUI: A Guide to Structuring Your Code

When diving into SwiftUI, especially for new developers, one of the first challenges is organizing your code effectively. A common question that surfaces is how to outsource functions to a separate struct. This can help to keep your code clean, modular, and maintainable. In this post, we'll take a closer look at this by using a simple example of a tick function. Let's break down the process step by step.

The Problem: Outsourcing a Function

Imagine you're working with a function named tick in your SwiftUI application. You might want to move this function out of your ContentView and into its own struct for better organization. The good news is that it's not only possible, but it’s quite straightforward. Here’s what the initial setup looks like:

In the above code, the tick function creates a visual representation. However, it does not rely on any properties from ContentView. Thus, it can be safely moved to a separate struct.

The Solution: Moving tick to a Separate Struct

Step 1: Create a New Struct

First, we create a new struct called Ticks. This struct will contain our tick function as a static method since it does not need to interact with any instance properties of ContentView.

Step 2: Update Your View Code

Next, you’ll need to replace the original usage of the tick function in ContentView. Now, you can access it through the Ticks struct as shown below:

Benefits of This Approach

Improved Code Modularity: By separating the tick function into its own struct, you promote cleaner, more organized code.

Reusability: The tick function can now be reused across different parts of your application without duplicating code.

Easier Maintenance: Isolating functions in separate structs makes it easier to manage code updates and changes.

Conclusion

Outsourcing functions to separate structs in SwiftUI is a powerful technique for enhancing your application’s structure. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can make your codebase more readable and maintainable. Next time you’re faced with the decision of where to place your functions, remember that creating a new struct may be the way to go.

Happy coding, and see you next time!
