Before finishing the iOS Foundations course from CodeWithChris, Chris invites us to upgrade / enhance module 5’s Recipe List app with an additional “categories” filter. This involves adding a new “tab” to the TabView to show the ‘Categories’ button, and a new view that combines the GeometryReader, ScrollView, LazyVGrid (a […]
