SwiftUI Key Differences Cheatsheet

@State vs @Binding

@State:

- Declares a local source of truth within a view.

- The view owns and controls the state.

Example:

@State private var isOn = false

@Binding:

- Binds a state from the parent view, allowing read-write access in the child.

Example:

@Binding var isOn: Bool

Usage:

Parent declares @State, passes it with $isOn to a child using @Binding.

@ObservedObject vs @StateObject

@ObservedObject:

- Used when the object is owned outside the view.

- Will recreate on every view reload.

@StateObject:

- Used when the view owns and manages the lifecycle of the object.

- Keeps the object alive across view reloads.

Example:

@ObservedObject var viewModel: MyViewModel

@StateObject private var viewModel = MyViewModel()

List vs ForEach

List:

- Creates a scrollable list of views.

- Includes built-in styling.

ForEach:

- Iterates over a collection.

- Used inside stacks (VStack, HStack) or inside List.

Example:

List {

ForEach(items, id: \ .self) { Text($0) }

onAppear vs onReceive

onAppear:

- Called once when the view appears.

- Commonly used for setup or API calls.

onReceive:

- Listens for a Combine publisher and responds to each update.

Example:

.onAppear { fetchData() }

.onReceive(timer) { time in update(time) }

NavigationView vs NavigationStack
SwiftUI Key Differences Cheatsheet

NavigationView (iOS 13+):

- Older navigation container.

- Still used in apps targeting iOS 13-15.

NavigationStack (iOS 16+):

- Type-safe, supports programmatic navigation via path.

Example:

NavigationStack {

NavigationLink("Next", value: "Detail")

.navigationDestination(for: String.self) { value in

Text(value)
