Recipe App 🍽️

This repository contains a Swift-based recipe app built using SwiftUI, developed as part of a tutorial series focused on learning advanced SwiftUI concepts. The app allows users to browse, select, and customize recipes while demonstrating the integration of various SwiftUI components and techniques.

Features

• Recipe Browsing: View a collection of recipes, complete with images, descriptions, and preparation details.
• Tab Navigation: Navigate through the app using a clean and intuitive tab-based interface.
• Dynamic UI with GeometryReader: Responsive layouts and interactive elements using GeometryReader for precise control over UI components.
• JSON Data Handling: Load, parse, and display data from JSON files to dynamically populate the app with recipe content.
• Portion Calculation: Automatically adjust ingredient portions based on serving size, with an interactive Picker for easy adjustments.
• Interactive Views: Use swipe-able cards and custom styling to enhance user engagement with featured recipes.
• EnvironmentObject: Efficiently manage shared data across multiple views using the environmentObject modifier.
• Lazy Stacks: Improve performance with lazy-loading views using LazyVStack for long lists of ingredients and recipes.
• Custom Styling: Apply custom fonts and styles to ensure a cohesive and appealing design throughout the app.
