Introduction to Communication Patterns in SwiftUI

SwiftUI provides a powerful and declarative way to build UIs, allowing views to react to state changes automatically. However, managing communication between views, especially when passing data or events from one view to another, can be challenging if not handled properly. In this article, we’ll explore several communication patterns in SwiftUI that enable seamless data flow between views, ensuring that updates occur efficiently and in a way that aligns with SwiftUI’s architecture.

We will dive into a practical scenario: starting from a list screen, where a user can tap a button to open a sheet to add a new item. The focus of the article will be on different approaches that allow the newly added item to communicate back to the list screen and update it accordingly. By exploring these patterns — such as closures, bindings, and @Environment objects—you’ll learn best practices for ensuring your SwiftUI views interact harmoniously, without workarounds like boolean flags to force view refreshes.
