SwiftUI’s Environment is a powerful and elegant mechanism for dependency injection, and almost every SwiftUI developer encounters and uses it in daily development. Not only does it simplify data transfer between views, it also opens up greater possibilities for application architecture design. In this article, we will set aside specific implementation details and instead focus on the role and boundaries of Environment within an architecture, exploring some often-overlooked yet crucial design ideas and practical experiences.

The Observation framework has brought native property-level observation to Swift, effectively preventing unnecessary view updates in SwiftUI triggered by unrelated property changes, thereby enhancing application performance. However, since @State does not offer a lazy initialization constructor like @StateObject, it may lead to performance degradation or even logical issues due to the premature construction of instances in certain scenarios. This article explores how to implement a lazy initialization solution for Observable instances using @State.
