Been messing with this for a while... And cannot figure things out...
Have a basic router implemented...
import Foundation
import SwiftUI
enum Route: Hashable {
case profile(userID: String)
case settings
case someList
case detail(id: String)
}
@Observable
class Router {
var path = NavigationPath()
private var destinations: [Route] = []
var currentDestination: Route? {
destinations.last
}
var navigationHistory: [Route] {
destinations
}
func navigate(to destination: Route) {
destinations.append(destination)
path.append(destination)
}
}
And have gotten this to work with very basic views as below...
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var router = Router()
var body: some View {
NavigationStack(path: $router.path) {
VStack {
Button("Go to Profile") {
router.navigate(to: .profile(userID: "user123"))
}
Button("Go to Settings") {
router.navigate(to: .settings)
}
Button("Go to Listings") {
router.navigate(to: .someList)
}
.navigationDestination(for: Route.self) { destination in
destinationView(for: destination)
}
}
}
.environment(router)
}
@ViewBuilder
private func destinationView(for destination: Route) -> some View {
switch destination {
case .profile(let userID):
ProfileView(userID: userID)
case .settings:
SettingsView()
case .someList:
SomeListofItemsView()
case .detail(id: let id):
ItemDetailView(id: id)
}
}
}
#Preview {
ContentView()
}
I then have other views named ProfileView, SettingsView, SomeListofItemsView, and ItemDetailView....
Navigation works AWESOME from ContentView. Expanding this to SomeListofItemsView works as well... Allowing navigation to ItemDetailView, with one problem... I cannot figure out how to inject the Canvas with a router instance from the environment, so it will preview properly... (No idea if I said this correctly, but hopefully you know what I mean)
import SwiftUI
struct SomeListofItemsView: View {
@Environment(Router.self) private var router
var body: some View {
VStack {
Text("Some List of Items View")
Button("Go to Item Details") {
router.navigate(to: .detail(id: "Test Item from List"))
}
}
}
}
//#Preview {
// SomeListofItemsView()
//}
As you can see, the Preview is commented out. I know I need some sort of ".environment" added somewhere, but am hitting a wall on figuring out exactly how to do this.
Everything works great starting from contentview (with the canvas)... previewing every screen you navigate to and such, but you cannot preview the List view directly.
I am using this in a few other programs, but just getting frustrated not having the Canvas available to me to fine tune things... Especially when using navigation on almost all views... Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I believe this should work:
#Preview {
SomeListofItemsView()
.environment(Router())
}
and if that works then you should be able to generalize it like so:
struct Routered: PreviewModifier {
static func makeSharedContext() async throws -> Router {
Router()
}
func body(content: Content, context: Router) -> some View {
content
.environment(context)
}
}
extension PreviewTrait where T == Preview.ViewTraits {
static var routered: Self = .modifier(Routered())
}
and the preview then can use this trait:
#Preview(traits: .routered) {
SomeListofItemsView()
}
