react-to-ios

Porting React to iOS means translating component logic, hooks, and state patterns into Swift/SwiftUI equivalents while preserving behavior and API contracts. Map React's declarative patterns to SwiftUI views, useState to @State properties, and useEffect to onAppear or onChange modifiers, maintaining the same data flow and user experience.

Yes, feature parity is achievable by using React code as a reference for behavior and data contracts, then implementing idiomatic Swift/SwiftUI code aligned with your iOS app's MVVM or MVC architecture. The goal is matching functionality without literal translation.

Map React component hierarchies to SwiftUI view structures, React state management to @State and @ObservedObject, and prop drilling to environment objects or binding patterns. Follow your codebase's existing architecture patterns to ensure consistency and maintainability throughout the port.

Not entirely. Extract the core logic, state shape, and API contracts from your React component, then implement them using Swift and SwiftUI idioms. Reuse business logic where possible and adapt only the UI and state management layers to iOS conventions.

Replace React hooks with SwiftUI's @State, @StateObject, and @EnvironmentObject for local and shared state. For complex state, implement ObservableObject view models following MVVM patterns, mirroring the data flow and reactivity of your original React state management.

Verify that API contracts, data shapes, and user interactions match the React source. Test state transitions, side effects, and edge cases against the original React implementation to confirm behavior equivalence before considering the port complete.
