Want to try the Cursor editor everyone's buzzing about with your Xcode project? Here's a simple trick to save you hours of headache! 🚀
Just install the Swift extension and ADD Package.swift file to your project's root folder. Code indexing will start instantly and voilà! Code completion, inline docs, jump-to-definition all working smoothly ❤️ And, of course, all that shiny AI stuff 🤖 #CursorAI #swiftui #Swift #Xcode
Swift Concurrency 🚅
We deal with async/await code every day. We use Task. But we don't often think about Task inheritance. 🤘
- Tasks inherit the parent task’s attributed, like priority, actor.
- Cancelling a parent task automatically cancels the child task.
- Detached Tasks don't inherit anything and you're responsible for cancelling them (in child task context)
And it's better to avoid detached task if it’s possible
I would love to have this as a poster in front of me at all times 🙃 And by the way, a very good book
Let's see what we have, Xcode 14.3.0 beta 3 is now available for download 🤓
At least it’s a fun time working on the “smart insert” feature. 🤓❤️
It’s working pretty well, I just can’t figure out what to do with the popup that asks me how I want to insert the location: smartly or just at the end, like a destination. 🤔
Keeping your codebase consistent and maintainable sometimes may be very hard. SwiftLint is here to help you. But that's not what I'm about now.
👮🏻♂️ Cyclomatic Complexity
Have you ever seen: "Complexity of function bodies should be limited”. What does that mean? 🤔
It's a metric that indicates the maximum number of independent paths inside a code e.g., a function. Higher the number - harder to understand the code and this is the number of test cases you'll need. 🤓
UIKit will be around for a long time with us, but you probably don't want to keep using it when building new functionality on top of large and long-lived projects. As complicated as it may seem at first, it's not so bad 🤩
UIHostingController is useful not only for displaying full size screens, but you can use it to insert small parts of the SwiftUI into your old UIKit screens.
For example a custom UITableView header made with SwiftUI. 🤓
