Monolithic SwiftUI views are a common problem that leads to poor maintainability, UI inconsistency, and technical debt. Three strategies help address this: (1) View extraction — pulling self-contained UI elements into dedicated structs to enforce Separation of Concerns; (2) View modifiers — encapsulating reusable styling logic into ViewModifier structs for consistency and cleaner code; (3) Generic container views — using Swift generics with @ViewBuilder to create flexible, content-agnostic layout shells. The post also warns against using computed properties as a shortcut, explaining how they hide complexity without truly decoupling code and hinder SwiftUI's diffing engine.
