What is the best way to implement navigation in iOS in SwiftUI?

To implement navigation in iOS using SwiftUI, you can leverage several built-in capabilities and APIs provided by SwiftUI. Here are some key points and sessions that can help you get started:

1. Navigation Views and Split Views:

   • SwiftUI provides NavigationView for creating navigation-based interfaces. You can use NavigationLink to push new views onto the navigation stack.
   • For more complex layouts, such as those found on iPad, you can use NavigationSplitView to create a split view interface.

   SwiftUI essentials covers views like navigation and split views, which are essential for building navigation in SwiftUI.

2. Sidebar and Tab Bar:

   • SwiftUI now supports flexible sidebars and tab bars that can adapt to different devices and user preferences. You can use TabView with the new type-safe syntax and apply the sidebarAdaptable style to switch between tab bar and sidebar representations.

3. Custom Navigation Experiences:

   • SwiftUI allows for creating unique custom experiences by providing low-level control over navigation and layout. You can build custom navigation components and styles to fit your app's needs.

4. Adopting New Navigation Features:

   • If you are migrating from UIKit or other frameworks, SwiftUI provides clean and easy ways to adopt the latest platform features, including navigation.
