Overview

SwiftUI previews are a great way to work on your design in Xcode, without having to launch an app. Just update your views and models, and the preview will update.

KeyboardKit has preview-specific services and state, that can be used in your previews. This makes it easy to set up and preview your keyboard-specific views directly in Xcode.

KeyboardKit Pro unlocks powerful keyboard and theme previews that can be used both within SwiftUI previews, as well as in the main app target.

Preview-specific state and services

KeyboardKit has preview values for all services & state. For instance, KeyboardContext has a preview context, the KeyboardInputViewController has a preview controller, etc.

#Preview {

    CustomView(actionHandler: .preview)
        .environmentObject(KeyboardContext.preview)
}

These types make it easy to use KeyboardKit types in SwiftUI previews. For instance, this is how you can pass in state and services into a custom view:

👑 KeyboardKit Pro

KeyboardKit Pro unlocks powerful system keyboard previews.

For instance, a KeyboardViewPreview can be used to preview a KeyboardView in different ways.

There is also a lightweight Keyboard.ButtonPreview that lets you preview many themes at once.
