Structure observations
- Architecturally prominent files are ranked from entry points and role-named declarations; resource-only paths are omitted.
- Primary languages: Swift.
- The verified tree contains 3 project/configuration file(s) and 30 source declaration(s).

}Interpretation
The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into TipKit.
Ownership and state
classDiagram
Item *-- String : name
Item *-- Bool : isFavorite
Item o-- Event : viewedSpecificFood
Item o-- Tips : viewedDetailView
Ownership evidence
TipKitExamples/Examples/Event rules/FoodDetailView.swift:13 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
struct Item: Codable, Sendable {
var name: String
var isFavorite: Bool
}| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
Item |
String (name) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
Item |
Bool (isFavorite) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
Item |
Event (viewedSpecificFood) |
stores or receives | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
Item |
Tips (viewedDetailView) |
stores or receives | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.
Class and protocol design
TipKitExamples/Examples/Event rules/FoodDetailView.swift:58 — representative type boundary
struct FoodDetailView: View {
// ...
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
FoodDetailView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
FavoritePlantsView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
LearnMoreView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
LearnMoreSheetView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
ComboView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
EventRuleView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
InlineView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
ParameterRuleView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
PopoverView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
PasswordResetView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.
Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
showLearnMoreSheet (TipKitExamples/Examples/Tip actions/LearnMoreView.swift:34) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
setupTips (TipKitExamples/TipKitExamples.swift:29) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: hide an implementation step that is not part of the collaboration surface. |
FavoritePlantsView (TipKitExamples/Examples/Parameter rules/FavoritePlantsView.swift:8) |
implicit internal |
No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. | Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface. |
Reference code
TipKitExamples/Examples/Tip actions/LearnMoreView.swift:34 — representative boundary
struct LearnMoreView: View {
// ...
@State private var showLearnMoreSheet = false
// ...
}Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.
Logic ownership and placement
| Logic | Owning type or file | Placement rationale |
|---|---|---|
| User-interface presentation and input forwarding | ActionsView, ComboView, ContentView, EventRuleView |
The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| No named application pattern | TipKitExamples/TipKitExamples.swift:11 |
The verified source directly composes concrete framework types; this document avoids forcing a pattern name. |
Naming conventions
- Types: View: ActionsView, ComboView, ContentView, EventRuleView, EventView.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
setupTips,setPlants. - Files:
TipKitExamples/TipKitExamples.swift,TipKitExamples/Examples/Event rules/FoodDetailView.swift,TipKitExamples/Examples/Parameter rules/FavoritePlantsView.swift,TipKitExamples/Examples/Tip actions/LearnMoreView.swift,TipKitExamples/Examples/Combo rules/ComboView.swift,TipKitExamples/Examples/Event rules/EventRuleView.swift.
Architecture takeaways
TipKitExamplesis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches SwiftUI, TipKit through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
- Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
- Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
- The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
