Note: This project is far from complete. It still lacks many features of your typical Reddit client and has bugs (partly due to SwiftUI, but I'll take credit for some of them)
To show off SwiftUI's strength in cross-platform development, I did not use Mac Catalyst for this project. Instead, common UI code is shared between iOS, macOS, and watchOS.
Shared
- Models, helpers, API, and any shared Views.Reddit-[PLATFORM]
- Each target folder contains aViews
andRepresentable
folder.Views
holds platform-specific views, andRepresentable
containsUIViewRepresentables
orNSViewRepresentables
.
I've added several things to make the macOS app stand out:
- Double click - You can double click on a post to open a new window for the detail view.
NSToolbar
- This is implemented entirely in theAppDelegate
, and uses standard Cocoa code which interfaces with the SwiftUI views.TouchBar
- TODO
Because macOS doesn't support SF Symbols, I have created the following extension to make sure shared code works. I would like to replace this with custom icons for macOS that it loads from XCAssets
eventually:
/// `SwiftUI` compatibility
#if os(macOS)
extension Image {
init(systemName: String) {
self.init(nsImage: NSImage())
}
}
#endif
