To create a Tab View Bottom Accessory in a SwiftUI app, you can use the Tab View Bottom accessory modifier. This allows you to place a view above the tab bar, taking advantage of the extra space provided by the tab bar's collapsing behavior. Here's a brief overview of how you can implement this:
-
Create the Accessory View: Place your additional controls or content in a view that you want to display as a bottom accessory.
-
Use the Modifier: Apply the
Tab View Bottom accessorymodifier to your view. This will position your accessory view above the tab bar. -
Adjust for Collapsing Behavior: Read the Tab View button accessory placement from the environment and adjust the content of your accessory when it collapses into the Tab bar area.
