But that’s not so flexible it would be much better to have the SwiftUI view accept the desired size as argument at initialization time.

The first is to hardcode the values of the width and height we want for the view. In order to avoid window resizing, it’s necessary to provide a specific size to the SwiftUI view, or at least a minimum size, so the window won’t be able to be resized less than that. Step 2: Add movement arrows Step 3: Complete your storyboard Step 4: Add dialogue & description Step 5. The width is adapted to the window’s width. Step 1: Import your storyboard into Storyboarder. The SwiftUI view does not have a specific size, and its content is what actually defines its height. Most probably, you won’t want that to happen, so let’s fix it. The above is a great success, because with just a minimum amount of effort we managed to bring SwiftUI in AppKit! However, you’ll notice that there is something that does not feel right in the previous illustration the window is resized when the SwiftUI view is added to the container view. So, to get started, suppose that we have the following view controller where its interface is designed in the app’s main storyboard: The former is what I’m discussing in this post, demonstrating it through a quite simple example. This can be done in two ways either to embed SwiftUI views as NSViews, or as view controllers. No matter what the case is, it’s really easy to bring SwiftUI to storyboard based apps and enjoy the benefits it has to offer. Or, we might want to make new apps keeping the flexibility that storyboards and AppKit provide in specific aspects, and use SwiftUI to implement other sections of the user interface. At first, we might have apps already built using storyboards and AppKit, and we plan to make the transition to SwiftUI over time a way to achieve this could be by replacing certain parts of the app with SwiftUI views in future updates. However, what about the opposite case? What if we want to bring SwiftUI in AppKit based projects? You might be wondering why we would want to do this, but there are a couple of good reasons explaining it. Add arms and a head and you’re done just a few lines are enough. For the female form, try a diamond shape for the upper body. Add arms and a head, and you’ll have a simple but complete figure. So, it’s often necessary to bring AppKit in SwiftUI, and to build custom things in order to fill the gaps that we discover along the way of the implementation process. You can taper the sides a bit, but the shape is still basically rectangular. And that because SwiftUI makes it so interesting and quick to create user interfaces, but on the other hand it lacks of various capabilities on macOS. Developing macOS apps using SwiftUI can be both a quite pleasant, as well as a pretty annoying task.
