Best practices and patterns for building SwiftUI views and components. Use when creating or refactoring SwiftUI UI, designing tab architecture, composing screens, or needing component-specific guidance.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# SwiftUI UI Patterns
## Quick Start
### Existing Project
1. Identify the feature and primary interaction model (list, detail, editor, settings, tabbed)
2. Find nearby examples in the repo with `rg "TabView\("` or similar
3. Apply local conventions: prefer SwiftUI-native state, keep state local
4. Build with small, focused subviews and SwiftUI-native data flow
### New Project Scaffolding
1. Wire TabView + NavigationStack + sheets
2. Add minimal `AppTab` enum and `RouterPath`
3. Expand route and sheet enums as new screens are added
## General Rules
- Use modern SwiftUI state (`@State`, `@Binding`, `@Observable`, `@Environment`)
- Avoid unnecessary view models - prefer MV (Model-View) over MVVM
- Prefer composition; keep views small and focused
- Use async/await with `.task` and explicit loading/error states
- Follow the project's formatter and style guide
### Sheets Best Practices
- Prefer `.sheet(item:)` over `.sheet(isPresented:)` when state represents a selected model
- Avoid `if let` inside a sheet body
- Sheets should own their actions and call `dismiss()` internally
## Workflow for a New SwiftUI View
1. Define the view's state and its ownership location

How to install
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/swiftui-ui-patterns@sha256:7ca3a41b5271ccbfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.c1007fc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
