Adopting a compositional mindset

SwiftUI shifts the focus from managing long-lived objects to describing the current state of the user interface. While this declarative approach simplifies many tasks, it requires a different way of thinking about how we build and structure our views.

Adopting a compositional mindset means moving away from large, monolithic view bodies and instead building our apps from small, focused, and reusable components. By breaking down the UI into smaller pieces, we make our code more readable, easier to test, and significantly more maintainable.

In this chapter, we will explore how to identify opportunities for composition, encapsulate logic within custom modifiers, and manage data flow to keep our components decoupled.
