The demo was really interesting and enjoyable Neils.

The second Text view in the CaffeineAmountView returns "0 lb" in the widget instead of the expected "56.23 mg" as set in the static constant in the extension. Is this just a bug in the beta or is something else going on?

Code Block language     Text(measurementFormatter.string(from: data.caffeineAmount))

Ok, this issue was resolve by as follows. First a getCaffeineAmount method is created in the CaffeineAmountView:

Code Block Swift    func getCaffeineAmount(_ mass: Measurement<UnitMass>) -> String {        let measurementFormatter = MeasurementFormatter()				measurementFormatter.unitOptions = .providedUnit        return measurementFormatter.string(from: mass)    }

Then from the main VStack in the same struct, instead of the Text view,

Code Block SwiftText(measurementFormatter.string(from: data.caffeineAmount))

the following method call is made from a Text view:

Code Block SwiftText(getCaffeineAmount(data.caffeineAmount))

Any suggestions are welcome, regarding a different approach as I am certain there are many.
