Now for the fun part! In this chapter, you’ll start creating a prototype of your app, which has four full-screen views:
Welcome
Exercise
History
Success
Creating the Exercise View
You’ll start by laying out the Exercise view, because it contains the most subviews. Here’s the list of what your user sees in this view:
A title and page numbers are at the top of the view and a History button is at the bottom.
The page numbers indicate there are four numbered pages.
The exercise view contains a video player, a timer, a Start/Done button and rating symbols.
And here’s the list rewritten as a list of subviews:
Header with page numbers
Video player
Timer
Start/Done button
Rating
History button
You could sketch your screens in an app like Sketch or Figma before translating the designs into SwiftUI views. But SwiftUI makes it easy to lay out views directly in your project, so that’s what you’ll do.
The beauty of SwiftUI is it’s declarative: You simply declare the views you want to display, in the order you want them to appear. If you’ve created web pages, it’s a similar experience.
Outlining the Exercise View
➤ Continue with your project from the previous chapter or open the project in this chapter’s starter folder.

Adding a Parameter
The error flag in HeaderView shows where you need a parameter. The index property is local to ExerciseView, so you can’t use it in HeaderView. You could pass index to HeaderView and ensure it can access the exerciseNames array. But it’s always better to pass just enough information. This makes it easier to set up the preview for HeaderView. Right now, HeaderView needs only the exercise name.

Moving a Subview to a New File
➤ Now, press Command-N to create a new SwiftUI View file and name it HeaderView.swift. Because you were in ExerciseView.swift when you pressed Command-N, the new file appears below it and in the same group folder.

Enumerating Exercise Names
enum is short for enumeration. A Swift enumeration is a named type and can have methods and computed properties. It’s useful for grouping related values so the compiler can help you avoid mistakes like misspelling a string.

Swift Tips: Type Property, Array Literal, Type Extension
In an extension to Exercise, you initialize the exercises array as a type property.
