SwiftUI Navigation Sample - Architectural Guide

What is This Project?

This SwiftUI Navigation Sample is a comprehensive demonstration of modern iOS application architecture that combines two powerful complementary patterns:

  • Real-world chat application showcasing advanced SwiftUI navigation and dependency injection
  • Educational resource for understanding scalable iOS architecture patterns
  • Production-ready patterns that prioritize type safety, testability, and maintainability

Dual Architecture Overview

This project uniquely demonstrates how two architectural patterns work together to create a robust, scalable foundation:

  • Type-safe, centralized routing using enum-based destinations
  • TabView with independent NavigationStacks for complex navigation flows
  • Protocol-based routing that enables feature isolation and testing
  • Programmatic navigation control through a centralized Router
  • Hierarchical dependency injection organized as a tree structure
  • Feature-based modularity with clear domain boundaries
  • Protocol-driven parent-child relationships for flexible dependency management
  • View factory pattern ensuring consistent dependency provision

Why Both Architectures?

The combination addresses different architectural concerns:

  • Navigation Architecture manages UI flow and routing logic
  • Scope Architecture manages resource dependencies and feature organization
  • Together they provide a complete foundation for complex SwiftUI applications
