Original: Swift Structs โ Static Properties and Methods ๐๏ธ
Short summary
Swift's static properties and methods belong to the type itself rather than instances, useful for app-wide constants, shared counters, and SwiftUI preview data. Access them directly on the type without creating an instance. Static code cannot access instance members, but instance code can access static members via the type name.
- โขStatic properties and methods belong to the struct type, not individual instances
- โขUse for app configuration, shared counters, and SwiftUI preview sample data
- โขStatic code cannot access instance members; instance code can access static via type name
