SwiftUI Forms and Shapes

This unit teaches how to use Form and Section views to organize input and settings, and how to create and customize basic shape views (Rectangle, RoundedRectangle, Circle, Capsule, Ellipse) in SwiftUI. Students will combine shapes and forms to build reusable UI components, applying modifiers and accessibility best practices in preparation for advanced layout, styling, and animation topics.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the structure and purpose of Form and Section views, including how they organize inputs, labels, and navigation within a SwiftUI app
• Apply Rectangle, RoundedRectangle, Circle, Capsule, and Ellipse views with modifiers (fill, stroke, frame, overlay, shadow, rotationEffect) to achieve specified visual designs
• Demonstrate composition of shapes with stacks, overlays, clips, and custom view modifiers to create reusable components (e.g., buttons, avatars, cards) with adaptive sizing
• Evaluate accessibility and usability of forms and shape-based components by testing contrast, hit target sizes, and VoiceOver labels, and revise designs to meet usability expectations
