rivetkit-client-swiftui

The `rivetkit-client-swiftui` skill provides a streamlined approach for building SwiftUI applications that interact with Rivet Actors using the RivetKitSwiftUI framework. It simplifies the process of connecting UI components to remote actor services, enabling developers to manage state and actions in a reactive, declarative manner. By leveraging property wrappers like `@Actor` and view modifiers such as `.rivetKit`, this skill helps developers reduce boilerplate code and maintain clean, modular SwiftUI applications while ensuring robust error handling and connection management.

Key features of this skill include seamless integration with Rivet Actors through `RivetKitSwiftUI`, support for SwiftUI bindings and state management, and reactive event handling using `.onActorEvent`. The `@Actor` property wrapper provides flexible options, including get-or-create semantics, connection parameters, and lifecycle toggling. Additionally, the skill encourages a fail-fast error handling policy, ensuring predictable behavior and explicit error logging. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous actions, allowing developers to send commands to actors or await responses efficiently within SwiftUI views.

This skill is particularly useful for iOS and macOS developers building real-time applications that require live updates from server-side actors, such as counters, chat rooms, or multiplayer games. Target users include SwiftUI developers who want to integrate Rivet Actors without manually managing network connections or actor state. It is suitable for applications that demand reactive UI updates, event-driven interactions, and scalable architecture while maintaining a declarative SwiftUI code style.
