What are recommended project structure for SwiftUI in Swift?

When developing applications with SwiftUI, having a well-organized project structure can greatly enhance code readability, maintainability, and scalability. Here are recommended project structures that can be implemented:

Recommended Project Structure for SwiftUI

  • Models: This directory contains data models and business logic used throughout the app.
  • Views: All user interface elements are organized in this directory, split into subfolders if necessary (e.g., components, screens).
  • ViewModels: For the MVVM architecture, view models manage the data flow between models and views.
  • Services: Any network requests, data persistence, or third-party service integrations can be organized here.
  • Resources: This includes asset files (images, colors) and localization files.
  • Extensions: Any extensions to system classes or methods that enhance functionality can be placed here.
  • Utilities: Helper functions and constants that can be used across the app.
  • Supporting Files: Includes files related to app configuration (Info.plist, Assets.xcassets).
