ShopListManager

A minimalist shopping list organizer built with SwiftUI and SwiftData, demonstrating modern iOS data persistence patterns.

Overview

ShopListManager is a simple yet effective shopping list application that helps users track their favorite shops and locations. This project showcases fundamental iOS development concepts including SwiftData persistence, navigation patterns, and form-based data entry.

Features

• Add & Edit Shops: Create and modify shop entries with name and location
• SwiftData Persistence: Automatic data persistence using Apple's modern SwiftData framework
• Navigation-Based Editing: Clean navigation stack for intuitive user flow
• Sort Options: Placeholder menu for future sorting implementations

Technical Stack

• Framework: SwiftUI
• Data Persistence: SwiftData
• iOS Version: iOS 17+
• Architecture: SwiftData model with NavigationStack

Key Learning Concepts

This project demonstrates:

• Basic SwiftData @Model implementation
• CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
• NavigationStack for hierarchical navigation
• Form-based user input handling

Code Highlights

SwiftData Model

@Model
class Shop {
    var name: String
    var location: String
}

Persistent Container

SwiftData automatically handles persistence with minimal configuration in the app entry point.

Skills Demonstrated

• SwiftUI declarative UI design
• SwiftData modern persistence layer
• iOS navigation patterns
• Form validation and data binding

Future Enhancements

• Implement sorting functionality (by name, location, date added)
• Add search capability
• Category tagging for shops
• Map integration for locations
