Cupcake Corner

This repo is for the project 10 of 100DaysOfSwiftUI by @twostraws.

Overview

This project was an introduction to networking in SwiftUI.
This app takes the order of cupcakes from a user -- the quantity, the flavour, toppings, etc.
This is followed by asking the user for shipping details followed by checkout.
At checkout, the app makes a dummy networking call using reqres.in.

The app has three main views in it
- ContentView - Starting page. This is where the user makes their choice about the type of cake they want and the quantity.
- AddressView - Page takes shipping details from the user.
- CheckoutView - This page shows the total amount that's payable and holds the button to place the order.
The data is shared among these three views using the Order class.
This class conforms to the ObservableObject and Codable protocols.
As most of the properties in this class are shared among views, they have the @Published property wrapper. Thus, a encoding and init to decode is present to conform this class to Codable.
The meat of the application utilises NavigationLinks to navigate between pages.
CheckoutView has an AsyncImage that retrieves an image from a remote server.

This app was a great practice in creating multi-page applications.
Learned about networking and URLRequest, AsyncImages and URLs.
This project also allowed me to practice encoding and decoding from and to JSON respectively.
It was a good learning example in understanding how to work with data and simultaneously manage networking calls.
