Pomodoro – codex

›$ComposableArchitecture Produce a snippet of code that implements a pomodoro timer feature.

•Using The Composable Architecture skill (requested).

import ComposableArchitecture import SwiftUI @Feature struct Pomodoro { struct State { var isRunning = false var remainingSeconds = 25 * 60 var totalSeconds = 25 * 60 } enum Action { case startButtonTapped case pauseButtonTapped case resetButtonTapped case timerTick } var body: some Feature<State, Action> { Update { state, action in switch action { case .startButtonTapped: state.isRunning = true return .none case .pauseButtonTapped: state.isRunning = false return .none case .resetButtonTapped: state.isRunning = false state.remainingSeconds = state.totalSeconds return .none case .timerTick: guard state.remainingSeconds > 0 else { state.isRunning = false return .none } state.remainingSeconds -= 1 return .none } } .onMount(id: store.isRunning) { store in guard try store.isRunning else { return } while true { try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(1)) try store.send(.timerTick) } } } } struct PomodoroView: View { let store: StoreOf<Pomodoro> var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 16) { Text(timeString(from: store.remainingSeconds)) HStack(spacing: 12) { Button("Start") { store.send(.startButtonTapped) } .disabled(store.isRunning) Button("Pause") { store.send(.pauseButtonTapped) } .disabled(!store.isRunning) Button("Reset") { store.send(.resetButtonTapped) } } } .padding() } private func timeString(from seconds: Int) -> String { let minutes = seconds / 60 let seconds = seconds % 60 return String(format: "%02d:%02d", minutes, seconds) } } #Preview { PomodoroView( store: Store(initialState: Pomodoro.State()) { Pomodoro() } ) }

Principles

Compositional architecture
Value types over reference types
Explicit dependencies
Controlled side effects
Testability by construction
Concise domain modeling

Libraries

Composable Architecture
Dependencies
Swift Navigation
SQLiteData
And more, as they evolve
