To navigate in SwiftUI, you can utilize various built-in views and modifiers that facilitate navigation and user interaction. Here are some key points from the WWDC sessions:

  1. Views and Navigation: SwiftUI provides a range of views like navigation views, split views, and customizable multi-column tables. These are essential for creating structured navigation within your app. You can explore these in the SwiftUI essentials session.

  2. State-Driven UI: SwiftUI is state-driven, meaning it automatically updates the UI when the state changes. This is crucial for navigation as it ensures that the UI reflects the current state of the app without manual updates. This concept is discussed in the SwiftUI essentials session.

  3. Custom Experiences: For more unique navigation experiences, SwiftUI offers low-level APIs that allow you to create custom layouts and controls. This includes using canvas for drawing and applying custom metal shaders. You can learn more about this in the SwiftUI essentials session.

  4. Search and Filtering: SwiftUI also supports search functionality, which can be integrated into your navigation structure. This is demonstrated in the Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI session, where a searchable modifier is used to filter content dynamically.

These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of how to effectively navigate and manage state in SwiftUI, enabling you to build responsive and intuitive user interfaces.
