View modifiers and styles

View modifiers and styles are integral to SwiftUI's approach to building user interfaces. They allow us to customize how views look, behave, and respond to user interactions. By applying modifiers to views, we can adjust their appearance, add functionality, and create consistent styling across the interface.

While modifiers provide a flexible way to incrementally customize individual views or view hierarchies, styles offer a more structured approach to configuring controls like buttons, toggles, and lists. These tools let us balance customization and consistency, ensuring the interface is both adaptable and cohesive.

This chapter explores the essential concepts of modifiers and styles, how they work in SwiftUI, and how to use them effectively to build polished and dynamic user interfaces.
