To create a window using SwiftUI, you can use the WindowGroup scene type. Here's a basic example to get you started:
import SwiftUI
@main
struct MyApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Hello, World!")
.padding()
}
}
In this example, WindowGroup is used to create a window that displays the ContentView. The @main attribute marks the entry point of the app.
For more advanced customization of macOS windows using SwiftUI, you can refer to the session Tailor macOS windows with SwiftUI. This session covers how to use new SwiftUI APIs to further tune the windows for your app's content, including customizing toolbars, window behaviors, and window placements.
If you want to learn about working with windows in a multi-window environment, you can check out the session Work with windows in SwiftUI. This session discusses how to define, open, and use windows, control their initial placement, and manage their sizes.
