Seamless joining between TextField and Button

Forums > SwiftUI

@00jim  

With so much convenience woven into SwiftUI I was surprised there no means of controlling the corner radius to allow for the illusion of a seamless joining between a TextField and its respective submission Button.

import SwiftUI

struct ButtonMergeView: View {
    @State var testData: String = ""

    struct CustomTextFieldShape: Shape {
        func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
            var path = Path()

            path.move(to: CGPoint(x: rect.minX, y: rect.minY))
            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rect.maxX - 8, y: rect.minY))   // Top line
            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rect.maxX, y: rect.minY))       // Top right corner
            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rect.maxX, y: rect.maxY))       // Bottom right corner
            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rect.minX, y: rect.maxY - 8))   // Bottom line

            return path
        }
    }

    struct CustomButtonFieldShape: Shape {
        func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
            var path = Path()

            path.move(to: CGPoint(x: rect.minX, y: rect.minY))
            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rect.maxX - 8, y: rect.minY))   // Top line
            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rect.maxX, y: rect.minY + 8))   // Top right corner
            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rect.maxX, y: rect.maxY))       // Bottom right corner
            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rect.minX, y: rect.maxY))       // Bottom line

            return path
        }
    }

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            VStack {
                HStack(spacing: 0) {
                    TextField("Enter Text", text: $testData)
                        .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
                        .background(CustomTextFieldShape())
                        .onSubmit {
                            print("Button pressed.")
                        }

                    Button(action: {} ) {
                        Image(systemName: "plus")
                            .padding()
                            .foregroundColor(.white)
                            .frame(width: 35, height: 35)
                            .background(CustomButtonFieldShape())
                            .padding(.trailing, 8)
                    }
                }
            }
            .navigationBarTitle("Test Title")
        }
    }
}

Where the two elements touch the corners must be right angles, but the edges are not rounded.

If there is an offical method I must have missed it, otherwise can anybody else have a go ?

Not sure if this is what you're trying to achieve, but try this.

struct ButtonMergeView: View {
    @State var testData: String = ""

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            VStack {
                HStack {
                    TextField("Enter Text", text: $testData)
                        .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
                        .overlay(alignment: .trailing) {
                            Button(action: { print("Button pressed.") } ) {
                                Image(systemName: "plus")
                                    .padding()
                                    .foregroundColor(.white)
                                    .frame(width: 30, height: 30)
                                    .background(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 4))
                            }
                            .padding(.trailing, 2)
                        }
                        .onSubmit {
                            print("Button pressed.")
                        }
                }
            }
            .navigationBarTitle("Test Title")
        }
    }
}

The only downside of the above code is that if your text is long, it will go behind the button. But you can slightly modify it so that it will separate text field and button like so.

struct CustomTextField: View {
    @State var testData: String = ""

    var body: some View {
        NavigationStack {
            VStack {
                HStack(spacing: 0) {
                    TextField("Enter Text", text: $testData)
                        .padding(.horizontal, 4)

                    Button(action: { print("Button pressed.") } ) {
                        Image(systemName: "plus")
                            .padding()
                            .foregroundColor(.white)
                            .frame(width: 30, height: 30)
                            .background(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 4))
                            .padding(.trailing, 2)
                    }
                    .onSubmit {
                        print("Button pressed.")
                    }
                }
                .background {
                    RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 4)
                        .stroke(Color(uiColor: UIColor.tertiaryLabel), lineWidth: 1)
                        .padding(.vertical, -2)
                }
            }
            .navigationBarTitle("Test Title")
        }
    }
}

Thank you, I quite like your second solution.

I should have provided an image for reference, here you go:

Identical approach can do the job

struct CapsuleTextFieldWithButton: View {
    @Binding var text: String
    var action: () -> Void

    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            Color.blue.opacity(0.5)
                .ignoresSafeArea()

            HStack {
                Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass")

                TextField("Vibes", text: $text)

                Image(systemName: "square.grid.2x2.fill")
                    .imageScale(.large)
                    .foregroundStyle(.purple)

                Rectangle()
                    .frame(width: 100, height: 40)
                    .foregroundStyle(.purple.gradient)
                    .clipShape(UnevenRoundedRectangle(topLeadingRadius: 0, bottomLeadingRadius: 0, bottomTrailingRadius: 20, topTrailingRadius: 20, style: .continuous))
                    .overlay {
                        Button {
                            action()
                        } label: {
                            Text("Search")
                                .foregroundStyle(.white)
                                .font(.callout)
                        }
                    }
            }
            .padding(.leading)
            .background {
                Capsule()
                    .foregroundStyle(.thinMaterial)
            }
        }
    }
}

#Preview {
    CapsuleTextFieldWithButton(text: .constant("")) {
        print("Button Pressed")
    }
}

I was playing with .clipShape come up with this

HStack(spacing: 0) {
    TextField("\(Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass")) Vibes", text: $text)
        .padding()
        .background {
            UnevenRoundedRectangle(cornerRadii: RectangleCornerRadii(topLeading: 30, bottomLeading: 30))
                .strokeBorder(.quaternary, lineWidth: 2)
                .clipShape(.rect(cornerRadii: RectangleCornerRadii(topLeading: 30, bottomLeading: 30)))
        }

    Button("Search") { }
        .foregroundStyle(.white)
        .padding(17)
        .background(.blue)
        .clipShape(.rect(cornerRadii: RectangleCornerRadii(bottomTrailing: 30, topTrailing: 30)))
}
.padding()

Thanks for the effort guys, but it seems that UnevenRoundedRectangle is a custom shape, any info on this ?

As they always say it check the documents UnevenRoundedRectangle. It a like RoundedRectangle but you can change any corner to be rounded.

I have playing around a bit more to make it more reusable

struct TextFieldButton: View {
    @Binding var text: String
    var action: () -> Void

    var body: some View {
        HStack(spacing: 0) {
            TextField("\(Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass")) Vibes", text: $text)
                .padding()
                .background {
                    UnevenRoundedRectangle(cornerRadii: .init(topLeading: 30, bottomLeading: 30))
                        .strokeBorder(.quaternary, lineWidth: 2)
                        .clipShape(.rect(cornerRadii: .init(topLeading: 30, bottomLeading: 30)))
                }

            Button("Search", action: action)
                .foregroundStyle(.white)
                .padding(17)
                .background(.blue)
                .clipShape(.rect(cornerRadii: .init(bottomTrailing: 30, topTrailing: 30)))
        }
        .padding()
    }
}

And now you can use it

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var text = ""

    var body: some View {
        TextFieldButton(text: $text) {
            print("\(text)")
        }
    }
}

PS while the overlay of Button in an answer I would concerned the user typing text would go under the button (I have not tested it).

I know it's been a while but I had to learn SwiftUI and so I am a lot better able to manipulate things now.

I am on iOS 15.2 here, so no UnevenRoundedRectangle for me. I tried to make one by layering shapes on the Z-axis:

struct CustomText2: View {
    @State var text: String
    @Binding var isEditable: Bool
    var onDelete: (() -> Void)?
    @State var text2: String

    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            ZStack {
                Text(text2)
                    .frame(height: 50)
                    .frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
                    .background(.red)
                    .cornerRadius(15)

                ZStack {
                    CustomRoundButton(title: "X", action: {}, isActive: true)
                    Spacer()
                    CustomRoundButton(title: "X", action: {}, isActive: true)
                        .rotationEffect(.degrees(180))
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct CustomRoundButton: View {
    var title: String
    var action: () -> Void
    var isActive: Bool

    var body: some View {
        Button(action: action) {
            ZStack {
                HStack(spacing: 13) {
                    Spacer()
            RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 15, style: .circular)
                .fill(.blue)
                .frame(width: 75, height: 50)
                .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 15))
                .frame(width: 51, height: 50)
                .offset(x: 12)
                .background(.blue)

            Text(title)
            //Image(systemName: "trash")
                .foregroundColor(.white)
                .offset(x: -30)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The following will achieve something like what I need, but the effect is spoilt on a press event, as all the layers are visible when the button turns semi-transparent to signify that it has been pressed:

   

@00jim  

The following code will allow for the buttons to be independently pressed:

struct CustomText2: View {
    @State var text: String
    @Binding var isEditable: Bool
    @State var text2: String

    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            ZStack {
                Text(text)
                    .frame(height: 50)
                    .frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
                    .background(Color.red)
                    .cornerRadius(15)

                HStack {
                    CustomRoundButton(title: "pencil", action: edit, isActive: true, spacing: 17)
                    Spacer()
                    CustomRoundButton(title: "trash", action: delete, isActive: true, spacing: 15)
                        .rotationEffect(.degrees(180))
                }
            }
        }
    }

    func edit() {
        print("EDIT")
    }

    func delete() {
        print("DELETE")
    }
}

private struct CustomRoundButton: View {
    var title: String
    var action: () -> Void
    var isActive: Bool
    var spacing: CGFloat

    var body: some View {
        Button(action: action) {
            ZStack {
                HStack {
                    RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 15)
                        .fill(.blue)
                        .frame(width: 50, height: 50)

                    Rectangle()
                        .fill(.blue)
                        .frame(width: 25, height: 50)
                        .offset(x: -25)
                }

                    Image(systemName: title)
                        .foregroundColor(.white)
                        .padding(.leading, spacing)     // WORKAROUND : SPACING VALUES DIFFER PER SYMBOL
                        .rotationEffect(.degrees(180))
            }
        }
    }
}

   

Hi! Wouldn't it make your code do almost the same, not sure what is the function of your buttons... But less code and visibly result is the same, but no weird blinking...

struct CustomTextWithButtonsOnSides: View {

    @Binding var text: String
    var onButtonOnePressed: (() -> Void)? = nil
    var onButtonTwoPressed: (() -> Void)? = nil

    var body: some View {
        HStack(spacing: 0) {
            Button(action: {
                onButtonOnePressed?()
            }, label: {
                Text("Button 1")
                    .foregroundStyle(.white)
            })
            .padding()
            .background(Color.blue)

            Text(text)
                .padding(.vertical)
                .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .center)
                .background(Color.red)

            Button(action: {
                onButtonTwoPressed?()
            }, label: {
                Text("Button 2")
                    .foregroundStyle(.white)
            })
            .padding()
            .background(Color.blue)
        }
        .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10))
    }
}
