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.
