How to add a sidebar for iPadOS
Updated for Xcode 12.0
New in iOS 14
In iPadOS it’s possible to show not only a regular split view controller, but also to add a sidebar that can be shown with a button tap. In SwiftUI we accomplish this by adding a third view to a NavigationView, like this:
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Sidebar()
PrimaryView()
DetailView()
}
}
}SwiftUI will automatically take care of showing a button to slide in your bar from the side of the screen, and also collapse it with your primary view if you’re in a compact size class.
If you’re presenting a list inside your sidebar, it’s a good idea to use the .listStyle() to give it the system-standard theme for sidebars, like this:
struct Sidebar: View {
var body: some View {
List(1..<100) { i in
Text("Row \(i)")
}
.listStyle(SidebarListStyle())
}
}
