SwiftUI Style-Driven Components

Overview

This skill provides expert guidance on building, reviewing, and extending SwiftUI components following the style-driven architecture pattern. This pattern emphasizes extensibility, maintainability, and Apple-style API design, making it ideal for building reusable component libraries.

Agent Behavior Contract

1. Before creating a new component, verify it needs 2+ meaningfully different styles. If not, skip the style protocol.
2. Follow Apple's patterns (ButtonStyle, LabelStyle) as the gold standard.
3. Use nested type-erased views in configuration (like LabelStyleConfiguration.Title).
4. Never expose configuration initializers as public.
5. Wrap style.makeBody in AnyView for type erasure.
6. Use DynamicProperty for style protocols, not Sendable.
7. Read styles from environment using existential type (any [Component]Style).

Core Architecture Principles

• Protocol: [Component]Style — defines HOW to render
• Configuration: [Component]StyleConfiguration — contains WHAT to render
• Component: Creates configuration internally, delegates rendering to style
• Environment: Enables subtree styling without modifying components

When to Use Style Protocol

Use style protocol when:

• 2+ meaningfully different visual styles needed
• Environment-based style cascading desired
• Building reusable component library
• Styles need environment access (@Environment)

Skip style protocol when:

• Single visual representation
• Simple, static appearance
• One-off internal component
• No style customization needed

Quick Decision Tree

Building a new component?

1. Needs multiple styles? → If no, skip style protocol
2. Create structure → See references/component-structure.md
3. Define protocol → See references/style-protocol.md
4. Create configuration → Nested type-erased views pattern
5. Implement default style → Basic rendering
6. Add environment key → See references/environment-keys.md
7. Add convenience accessors → See references/common-patterns.md

Adding a new style?

1. Create struct conforming to [Component]Style
2. Implement makeBody(configuration:)
3. Add convenience accessor (.myStyle)
4. No component changes needed!

Reviewing component architecture?

1. Check protocol uses DynamicProperty, @ViewBuilder @MainActor
2. Verify configuration uses nested type-erased views
3. Confirm configuration init is internal
4. Check component wraps style.makeBody in AnyView
5. Validate environment key uses existential (any [Component]Style)
6. Ensure new styles don't require component changes

Pattern Summary

• Style Protocol: DynamicProperty, @ViewBuilder @MainActor func makeBody
• Configuration: Nested struct Content: View with private let _body: () -> AnyView
• Configuration Init: internal (not public), @MainActor
• Component Body: AnyView(style.makeBody(configuration:.init(...)))
• Environment Key: @Entry public var style: any [Component]Style =.automatic
• View Modifier: func style(_ style: some [Component]Style) -> some View

Best Practices

DO

• Use DynamicProperty for style protocols
• Use nested type-erased views in configuration
• Make configuration initializers internal
• Wrap style.makeBody in AnyView
• Use design tokens, not magic numbers
• Provide convenience accessors (.compact, .outlined)

DON'T

• Add explicit Sendable to style protocols
• Make configuration initializers public
• Pass configuration to component initializer
• Put content properties in style protocol
• Use style protocol for single-variant components
• Use AnyView directly as configuration property type
• Use foregroundColor() (deprecated — use foregroundStyle())
• Use .cornerRadius() (deprecated — use clipShape())

Review Checklist

Architecture

• Style protocol uses DynamicProperty
• makeBody has @ViewBuilder @MainActor
• Configuration uses nested type-erased views
• Configuration init is internal
• Component wraps style.makeBody in AnyView
• New styles don't require component changes

Environment

• Uses @Entry macro
• Stores as existential (any [Component]Style)
• Modifier uses opaque parameter (some [Component]Style)
• Default value provided (.automatic)

Quality

• All public symbols have /// doc comments
• Component doc comment includes usage example
• Previews cover all styles (see references/previews.md)
• Snapshot tests exist (see references/testing.md)
• Accessibility supported (see references/accessibility.md)
• Design tokens used (see references/design-system.md)

Philosophy

Style-driven components prioritize:

1. Extensibility — Add styles without modifying components
2. Apple Patterns — Follow ButtonStyle, LabelStyle conventions
3. Simplicity — Skip style protocol for single-variant components
4. Type Safety — Generic APIs with internal type erasure
5. Consistency — All components follow same patterns
