How to create a list of static items

Updated for Xcode 14.2

To create a static list of items you first need to define what each row in your list should look like. This is a view just like any other, and can have any parameters for data you intend to show in the row. Once you have your row, you can create a List view that creates as many rows as you need.

For example, this code defines a Pizzeria view that will show a name string, then uses that as a row for a List with three fixed pieces of data:

struct Pizzeria: View {
    let name: String

    var body: some View {
        Text("Restaurant: \(name)")
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        List {
            Pizzeria(name: "Joe's Original")
            Pizzeria(name: "The Real Joe's Original")
            Pizzeria(name: "Original Joe's")
        }
    }
}
