SwiftUI, the new user interface framework introduced by Apple, has revolutionized the way iOS apps are built. However, as with any new technology, there can be a learning curve when it comes to optimizing your code for performance. In this article, we will be sharing some tips and tricks for optimizing your SwiftUI code, including how to use composable and reusable views.

Let us begin

Use composable views

One of the key features of SwiftUI is the ability to compose views using the ZStack, VStack, and HStack views. These views allow you to build your user interface using small, reusable components. By breaking down your user interface into small, composable views, you can improve the performance of your app by reducing the number of views that need to be updated when the state of your app changes.

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Title")
