.opacity() for conditional visibility instead of if/else blocks when you want smooth transitions: Text("Hello").opacity(isVisible ? 1.0 : 0.0). This approach maintains the view's layout space and enables implicit animations.This practice creates adaptive UI components that automatically respond to system changes like device orientation and appearance mode using environment values within custom ViewModifiers.
struct ResponsiveCard: ViewModifier {
@Environment(\.horizontalSizeClass) var sizeClass
@Environment(\.colorScheme) var colorScheme
func body(content: Content) -> some View {
content
.padding(sizeClass == .compact ? 12 : 20)
.background(
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 16)
.fill(colorScheme == .dark ?
Color.gray.opacity(0.2) :
Color.white)
.shadow(radius: colorScheme == .dark ? 0 : 5)
)
}
}
extension View {
func responsiveCard() -> some View {
modifier(ResponsiveCard())
}
}
// Usage
VStack {
Text("Card Content")
.responsiveCard()
}Environment-aware ViewModifiers eliminate code duplication, provide consistent styling across your app, and automatically adapt to system changes without manual state management. This approach scales better than inline conditional styling and maintains better separation of concerns.
