How to control spacing around individual views using padding
Updated for Xcode 14.2
SwiftUI lets us set individual padding around views using the padding() modifier, causing views to be placed further away from their neighbors.
If you use this with no parameters you’ll get system-default padding on all sides, like this:
VStack {
Text("Using")
Text("SwiftUI")
.padding()
Text("rocks")
}
Download this as an Xcode project
But you can also customize how much padding to apply and where. So, you might want to apply system padding to only one side:
VStack {
Text("Using")
Text("SwiftUI")
.padding(.bottom)
Text("rocks")
} Download this as an Xcode project
Or you might want to control how much padding is applied to all sides:
VStack {
Text("Using")
Text("SwiftUI")
.padding(100)
Text("rocks")
} Download this as an Xcode project
Or you can combine the two to add a specific amount of padding to one side of the view:
VStack {
Text("Using")
Text("SwiftUI")
.padding(.bottom, 100)
Text("rocks")
} Download this as an Xcode project
