SwiftUI Architecture Explained: Build Reusable and Readable Views

Your SwiftUI code doesn’t have to turn into a mess as your app grows. In this video, I’ll show you how to apply solid SwiftUI architecture principles to make your views reusable, readable, and scalable — without just “moving code around.” You’ll learn how to refactor large SwiftUI views into smaller, testable components, use modifiers intelligently, and create a structure that’s easy to extend across your entire app. ⸻ 🕒 Timestamps 0:00 – Why SwiftUI architecture matters 0:27 – The problem with large SwiftUI views 1:00 – What most developers do wrong (computed property refactors) 1:40 – Extracting reusable views (ArticleRow example) 2:30 – Using modifiers for reusable view styles 3:20 – Creating custom extensions for common UI patterns 4:00 – Combining modifiers and extensions for clean design 5:30 – How to identify reusable components in your codebase 6:00 – Building your own UI component library 6:10 – Final thoughts on reusability and clarity ⸻ 👋 About Me I’m Antoine van der Lee — creator of SwiftLee, RocketSim, and professional Swift courses like the Swift Concurrency Course at https://www.swiftconcurrencycourse.co...
