To add navigation to your SwiftUI app, you can use the NavigationStack and NavigationLink components. Here's a basic example to get you started:
- Create a NavigationStack: This is the container for your navigable views.
- Use NavigationLink: This is used to navigate to a new view when a user interacts with a UI element.
Here's a simple example:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
List {
NavigationLink("Go to Detail View", destination: DetailView())
}
.navigationTitle("Home")
}
}
}
struct DetailView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("This is the detail view")
.navigationTitle("Detail")
}
}
@main
struct MyApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
}
}
In this example:
NavigationStackis used to wrap the content that will be navigable.NavigationLinkis used to create a link to theDetailView.navigationTitlesets the title for the navigation bar.
For more advanced navigation features, such as split views or customizable multi-column tables, you can refer to the session SwiftUI essentials which covers these topics in detail.
