This one often starts with the phrase: Hey, why isn’t my view updating? It shows the initial data, but it doesn’t update when that data gets changed! … more than one person, including me … When you get into seeing the code for the view, how it’s formed, and what the models look like, youContinue reading “Nested Observable Objects in SwiftUI”

Integrating SwiftUI Bindings and Combine
A misconception I had when first learning SwiftUI and Combine was that SwiftUI relied on Combine alone for updating data. There was a throw-away comment in one of the 2019 WWDC presentations (Data Flow through SwiftUI) relating the two, and I over-interpreted it to mean that SwiftUI solely used Combine. To be very clear –Continue reading “Integrating SwiftUI Bindings and Combine”
Combine and Swift Concurrency
Just before last weekend, the folks on the Swift Core Team provided what I took to be a truly wonderful gift: a roadmap and series of proposals that outline a future of embedding concurrency primitives deeper into the swift language itself. If you’re interested in the details of programming language concurrency, it’s a good read.Continue reading “Combine and Swift Concurrency”
Using Combine v1.1 is available
After getting the major edits for the existing content done, I called the result the first release. As with any creative product, I wasn’t happy with some of the corners that still had rough edges. Over the past two weeks I fleshed those in, wrote a bunch of unit tests, figured out some of theContinue reading “Using Combine v1.1 is available”
Using Combine – first edition available
I just finished my first edit pass of the content of Using Combine, and am incredibly pleased. Sufficiently pleased, in fact, that I am going to call this version the “first edition”. It is certainly not perfect, nor even as complete as I would like, but a significant enough improvement that I wanted to putContinue reading “Using Combine – first edition available”
SwiftUI and Combine – Binding, State, and notification of changes
When I started the project that became Using Combine, it was right after WWDC; I watched streamed WWDC sessions online, captivated like so many others about SwiftUI. I picked up this idea that SwiftUI was “built using the new framework: Combine”. In my head, I thought that meant Combine managed all the data – notificationsContinue reading “SwiftUI and Combine – Binding, State, and notification of changes”
Using Combine – reference content complete!
I’m thrilled to be announcing that an updated version of Using Combine is now available! It has taken me nearly 6 months to draft it all, reverse engineering and writing tests for all the various publishers, operators, and pieces in between – and documenting what I found. The end result is 182 pages (in USContinue reading “Using Combine – reference content complete!”
Combine: throttle and debounce
Updated March 2020 with more thoroughly accurate timing diagrams, after vetting against iOS13.2, iOS 13.3, and iOS13.4 beta. Combine was announced and released this past summer with iOS 13. And with this recent iOS 13 update, it is still definitely settling into place. While writing Using Combine, I wrote a number of tests to verifyContinue reading “Combine: throttle and debounce”
Using Combine (v0.8) update available!
A new version of Using Combine (v0.8) is now available. The live HTML site for Using Combine is updated automatically, and the PDF and ePub versions are now available on Gumroad. This version has a number of additional notes and changes, primarily from reader feedback, and some references to Combine’s changes with the release ofContinue reading “Using Combine (v0.8) update available!”
It is OK to test the framework
When I started to write the book Using Combine, I was learning the Combine framework as I went. There was a lot I was unsure about, and especially given that it was released with the beta of the operating system, the implementation was changing between beta releases as it firmed up. I chose to useContinue reading “It is OK to test the framework”
