fatbobman.com Say Goodbye to dismiss - A State-Driven Path to More Maintainable SwiftUIAvoid overusing dismiss in SwiftUI. Embrace state-driven alternatives like Binding or custom environments for safer, testable, and maintainable UI logic
In SwiftUI, dismiss is popular for its flexibility, but overusing it can introduce hidden risks, testing challenges, and stability issues. Opt for state-driven methods like Binding or custom environments for safer, more maintainable UI logic.

fatbobman.com SwiftUI Environment - Concepts and PracticeExplore how SwiftUI Environment powers modular and reactive app architecture with dependency injection, Observation integration, concurrency safety, and optimization strategies.
SwiftUI’s Environment is a powerful and elegant mechanism for dependency injection, and almost every SwiftUI developer encounters and uses it in daily development. Not only does it simplify data transfer between views, it also opens up greater possibilities for application architecture design. In this article, we will set aside specific implementation details and instead focus on the role and boundaries of Environment within an architecture, exploring some often-overlooked yet crucial design ideas and practical experiences.

fatbobman.com Lazy Initialization @State in SwiftUI - Overcoming Premature Object Creation@State in SwiftUI does not support lazy initialization, causing premature instance creation. Learn how @LazyState enables lazy loading for Observable instances, optimizing performance.
The Observation framework has brought native property-level observation to Swift, effectively preventing unnecessary view updates in SwiftUI triggered by unrelated property changes, thereby enhancing application performance. However, since @State does not offer a lazy initialization constructor like @StateObject, it may lead to performance degradation or even logical issues due to the premature construction of instances in certain scenarios. This article explores how to implement a lazy initialization solution for Observable instances using @State.
