In SwiftUI, modifiers are like superpowers you can add to your views. They’re methods with behavior provided by the View protocol letting you customize the appearance, behavior, and even the layout of any SwiftUI view in creative and flexible ways. Think of them as add-on features or enhancements you can apply to your views.
Configure a View with a Modifier
You add a modifier directly to a view using a dot (.) followed by the modifier’s name.
For example:
Text("Hello, Kodeco!")
.foregroundStyle(.blue) // Changes the text color
The true power of modifiers comes from chaining them together. Build upon each customization by adding additional modifiers to create more complex customizations.

View-Specific Modifiers
Some SwiftUI views offer specialized modifiers unique to their type. These provide convenient ways to customize those particular views. Here are some examples:
Awuxo: Xva .gijebalja() bivikaoc gimbwahb mut ef oxaja ljozuf. Wia luw ulu eb ivrk em Acogo raulw.
Bofj: Zke .kajx() lumakooz ojjt u tuzp hayr tiivvq. Ruo fut avo uz iqkh uh Lorf ruawx.
