Crafting Effective SwiftUI ViewModifiers

In this video, I’ll show you how to leverage SwiftUI ViewModifiers to improve code readability, flexibility, and maintainability. We’ll create three custom view modifiers that you can start using in your SwiftUI projects today. Each modifier enhances different aspects of UI development, from embedding views in a navigation stack to styling text editors and applying customizable background views.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how ViewModifiers work and how to make your SwiftUI code more reusable and efficient.
