Issue Description

Hello! Thank u for amazing job and such a good library. I wanted to ask if you can do a SwiftUi View and write e ReadMe instruction. It's gonna be really cool!

Hi Thanks for the question. SwiftUI support is planned.

[dkikimov]

Hello again. I just wanted to ask if there will be such an opportunity soon cause I just need to choose uikit or swiftui

Go with UIKit when working with CalendarKit. You can code the rest of your app in SwiftUI.

I keep the issue open as the SwiftUI for CalendarKit is still planned to be implemented.

@richardtop any news about SwiftUI support?

[richardtop]

Hi, please refer to the link I've posted and develop the code to bind CalendarKit with SwiftUI and then wrap it into SwiftUI view.
More SwiftUI support is coming soon.

More SwiftUI support is coming soon.

cool, does that mean, that Calendarkit supports SwiftUI native in future, so i can build multiplatform apps (iOS, macOS) only with SwiftUI and without Catalyst?

[richardtop]

The goal so far is to have iOS & iPadOS support only, but have the component fully controlled by the SwiftUI layer.
Having native (i.e. AppKit) mac support would require first implementing that support in the library, before even being able to expose it to the SwiftUI layer.

So the simplest way to support SwiftUI as of right now, is to port it to iOS/iPadOS.

Is there anything you need require AppKit support specifically?

Any updates on the native SwiftUI support, as opposed to wrapping in a UIKit host?

Hello, any updates on the native SwiftUI support, as opposed to wrapping in a UIKit host @richardtop ?

If you're interested, would you be willing to create a wrapper for the CalendarKit and contribute? As for now, the recommended way to integrate CalendarKit into a SwiftUI application is to connect your DataSource & Delegate in the UIKit domain and expose the resulting controller to the SwiftUI as mentioned in the StackOverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64432749/can-i-use-view-controller-calendarkit-in-swiftui-application
