To use the animation(_:body:) function in SwiftUI, you can wrap your state changes within this function to apply animations to the resulting view updates. Here's a basic example:

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var isAnimating = false

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Rectangle()
                .fill(isAnimating ? Color.blue : Color.red)
                .frame(width: 100, height: 100)
                .animation(.easeInOut, value: isAnimating)

            Button("Animate") {
                withAnimation {
                    isAnimating.toggle()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

In this example:

  • The Rectangle changes its color based on the isAnimating state.
  • The animation(_:value:) modifier is used to apply an easeInOut animation to the color change.
  • The Button toggles the isAnimating state, and the withAnimation block ensures that the state change is animated.
