An Elden Ring companion app using SwiftUI + GraphQL

by iOS Example

The Roundtable

The bustling hub area that exists outside of the Lands Between. A place to mingle with other adventurerers, craftsmen, resupply and discover a trove of blessings and rooms of secrets. Source

An Elden Ring companion iOS application in SwiftUI. This is built using this perfect API from this repository. I can’t thank Deliton enough who did all the hard work and motivated me to start this app.

What is it?

This is a companion application for the masterpiece of a video game that is Elden Ring. In its complete state (one day) it’ll feature a searchable index of all the items, sorceries, incantations, creatures, etc… from the game, alongside a map with some easy to use tools for notes taking. The ideas is not to spoil, but to help you organize your adventures in this vast open world.

Tech

While being a useful app (well not really for now), this is also a good showcase of how I like to buid modern iOS application. We use a variant of this architecture at Medium.

  • Heavy usage of Swift packages.
    • Why? It’s easier to build and tests independant features / parts of the app.
    • A Networking package which wrap the Apollo iOS client into an async / await API.
    • A codegen package which is based on Apollo codegen example, which you can run from the Swift command line to generate all GraphQL models in ApolloModels package.
    • A SharedUI package which contains all the colors and shared components that are reusable across features packages + within the app.
    • Various features oriented packages. (For now only the items feature).
  • Fully in SwitUI.
  • Heavy use of new Swift features like Concurrency.
  • Less is more, how to achieve a good amount of features with the less amount of code possible.

How to use?

For now you just have to clone the repository then build & run the main target.

How to contribute?

At this stage it might be too early, but any contributions is more than welcome!

To generate newly added .graphql file:

cd Modules/ApolloCodegen
