In this follow-up to my custom Over Top View in SwiftUI, I take it to the next level with protocols and a flexible view modifier. Now you can present any edit view—not just pickers—over your UI.

SwiftUI Tip 💡

Use contentShape() to control the tappable area of a view or shape.

For example, if you want the entire rectangular area to be tappable, pass .rect.

Swift 6 introduced the count(where:) method, a concise way to count the number of elements in a sequence that satisfy a condition, improving upon the common filter { ... }.count pattern by avoiding the creation of an intermediate array: nilcoalescing.com/blog/CountTh...
#SwiftLang

Count the number of objects that pass a test in Swift using count(where:)

Efficiently count the number of elements in a sequence that satisfy the given condition with the new count(where:) method introduced in Swift 6.

I had a problem initially understanding the ContainerView syntax so I thought I would break it down and see if this makes sense to anyone but me.
Comments are appreciated.
This is an unlisted YouTube Video for now. Looking for feedback
