To use the .glassEffect
in SwiftUI, you can apply the Glass Effect ID
modifier to your views. Here's a brief overview of how you can implement it:
-
Declare a Local Namespace: First, declare a local namespace to manage the glass effect elements.
-
Apply the Glass Effect ID Modifier: Use the
Glass Effect ID
modifier to associate the namespace with each of the glass effect elements in your view. -
Use a Glass Effect Container: To combine multiple glass elements, use a glass effect container. This ensures that the glass elements share their sampling region, providing a consistent visual result.
