SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Refactor and review SwiftUI view files for consistent structure, dependency injection, and Observation usage. Use when cleaning up a SwiftUI view’s layout and ordering, ensuring non-optional view models when possible, and standardizing how dependencies and @Observable state are initialized and passed.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enforce a top-to-bottom view ordering: Environment, private/public let, @State, stored properties, computed vars, init, body, and helpers.
Promote MV-patterns and lightweight views: prefer small views, inject services via @Environment, and minimize view-model usage.
Split large views into subviews: extract large bodies or computed views into dedicated subviews to improve readability and maintainability.
Improve state management with @Observable: keep observable objects at the root state and pass down explicitly to children.

Quick Start

Review a SwiftUI view file and refactor it to follow the prescribed ordering and MV-pattern guidance.

FAQPage Schema

How do I refactor a large SwiftUI view to enforce a consistent top-to-bottom structure?▼

Refactor SwiftUI views by reordering property declarations top-to-bottom: Environment, access modifiers, @State, stored properties, computed vars, init, body, and helpers. This standardization improves readability and maintainability across multi-file view architectures.

When do I need to split large SwiftUI views into subviews?▼

Split large SwiftUI views into subviews when the body or computed views become too complex to read easily. Extracting dedicated subviews improves maintainability and aligns with MV-pattern guidance for lightweight view architectures.

What's the best way to manage @Observable state across child SwiftUI views?▼

Keep @Observable state objects at the root view level and pass them down explicitly to children. This state management approach ensures clear ownership and consistent observation tracking throughout your SwiftUI view hierarchy.

How does environment-based dependency injection work in SwiftUI MV-patterns?▼

Environment-based dependency injection passes services into SwiftUI views via @Environment rather than view models. This MV-pattern approach minimizes view-model usage and keeps views lightweight by relying on the environment for dependencies.

Can I minimize view models in SwiftUI while using @Observable?▼

Yes, you can minimize or eliminate view models by using @Observable state directly. Keep observable objects at the root state level and inject services via @Environment to achieve non-optional view model usage where possible.
