Enriching your text in text views

At a glance

Item Summary
Purpose Support line numbering, section collapsing, inline attachment caching, exclusion paths, text attachments, and text lists in a text view.
App architecture A Swift sample with the source-visible chain TextKitAndTextViewSampleAppContentViewAnimatedAttachmentViewProviderSwiftUI / AVKit APIs.
Main patterns Delegate or data-source callbacks
Project style 10 scanned source file(s) across Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries.
Execution model No structured execution marker indexed; callback threading requires source review.
State/event model Source-visible mechanisms: SwiftUI state property wrapper.
Key frameworks/packages SwiftUI, AVKit; these are source dependencies, not architecture labels.

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 40 source declaration(s).

Overall architecture

Reference code

TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/SwiftUI/TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp.swift:10 — architecture anchor

@main
struct TextKitAndTextViewSampleAppApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

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 UIKit.

Ownership and state

Ownership evidence

TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/InlineAttachmentsView.swift:13 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

class InlineAttachmentsContainerView: PlatformContainerView {
    let textView = PlatformTextView()
    // ...
}
Owner Object or state Relationship Mutation authority
InlineAttachmentsContainerView PlatformTextView (textView) creates and retains Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
AnimatedAttachmentView AVPlayerView (playerView) creates and retains Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
AnimatedAttachmentView AVPlayerLayer (playerLayer) creates and retains Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
AnimatedAttachmentView AVQueuePlayer (player) stores or receives Owning lexical scope

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.

Concurrency, scheduling, and thread safety

Evidence limit: actor isolation, async/await, or Task creation does not by itself prove background-thread execution; Sendable conformance alone does not prove thread-safe mutation.

No source-visible execution, scheduling, or synchronization boundary was found in the indexed source.

@MainActor/MainActor.run, DispatchQueue.main, and RunLoop.main are reported as distinct isolation, queue, and event-loop mechanisms. A plain Task is kept separate from Task.detached; neither is labeled as a background thread.

State propagation, frameworks, and dependencies

Evidence limit: an import proves a source-level compilation dependency at the cited line; it does not prove runtime use, architectural adoption, or whether a Swift package is a direct application dependency.

Category Mechanism or module Verified role Evidence
State propagation SwiftUI state property wrapper A SwiftUI property wrapper supplies or observes UI state. TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/SwiftUI/ContentView.swift:20
Source import SwiftUI The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/SwiftUI/ContentView.swift:8
Source import AVKit The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/InlineAttachmentsView.swift:8

receive(on:) describes downstream delivery scheduling, while subscribe(on:) describes upstream subscription/request/cancel scheduling. An import Combine alone establishes neither behavior nor a Store, reducer, Redux, or other application architecture.

Class and protocol design

TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/SwiftUI/TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp.swift:11 — representative type boundary

@main
struct TextKitAndTextViewSampleAppApp: App {
    // ...
            ContentView()
    // ...
}
Type Responsibility Depends on or conforms to
TextKitAndTextViewSampleAppApp Application entry and top-level composition App
InlineAttachmentsContainerView User-interface presentation and input forwarding PlatformContainerView
AnimatedAttachmentView User-interface presentation and input forwarding PlatformView
AnimatedAttachmentViewProvider Supplies a capability or framework resource NSTextAttachmentViewProvider
SectionCollapsingContainerView User-interface presentation and input forwarding PlatformContainerView
CollapsibleTextView User-interface presentation and input forwarding PlatformTextView, NSTextContentStorageDelegate
DisclosureGutterView User-interface presentation and input forwarding PlatformView
TextAttachmentContainerView User-interface presentation and input forwarding PlatformContainerView
AttachmentButtonView User-interface presentation and input forwarding PlatformView
ExpandableAttachmentViewProvider Supplies a capability or framework resource NSTextAttachmentViewProvider

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
configureExclusionPath (TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/ExclusionPathView.swift:25) 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.
cgPath (TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/ExclusionPathView.swift:89) 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.
playerView (TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/InlineAttachmentsView.swift:44) 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.
playerLayer (TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/InlineAttachmentsView.swift:46) 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.

Reference code

TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/ExclusionPathView.swift:25 — representative boundary

    private func configureExclusionPath() {
        let bezierPath = ExclusionPath.bezierPath
        // ...
    }

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
Application entry and top-level composition TextKitAndTextViewSampleAppApp The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit.
Supplies a capability or framework resource AnimatedAttachmentViewProvider, ExpandableAttachmentViewProvider The source’s Provider suffix makes this role explicit.
User-interface presentation and input forwarding AnimatedAttachmentView, AttachmentButtonView, CollapsibleTextView, ContentView The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit.

Design patterns

Pattern Source evidence Purpose or tradeoff
Delegate or data-source callbacks TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/SectionCollapsingView.swift:72 Callback protocols invert event delivery back into the sample’s owner.

Naming conventions

  • Types: App: TextKitAndTextViewSampleAppApp; Provider: AnimatedAttachmentViewProvider, ExpandableAttachmentViewProvider; View: AnimatedAttachmentView, AttachmentButtonView, CollapsibleTextView, ContentView, DisclosureGutterView.
  • Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
  • Methods: layoutSubviews, loadView, attachmentBounds, viewProvider, loadInlineAttachmentSampleText, loadSampleText, setupConstraints, setupLayout.
  • Files: TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp/SwiftUI/ContentView.swift.

Architecture takeaways

  • TextKitAndTextViewSampleApp is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
  • Framework work reaches SwiftUI, AVKit 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.
