Original: Swift Structs โ€” Static Properties and Methods ๐Ÿ›๏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.

  • โ€ขStatic properties and methods belong to the struct type, not individual instances
  • โ€ขUse for app configuration, shared counters, and SwiftUI preview sample data
  • โ€ขStatic code cannot access instance members; instance code can access static via type name
