How to draw images using Image views
Updated for Xcode 14.0 beta 1
Use the Image view to render images inside your SwiftUI layouts. These can load images from your bundle, from system icons, from a UIImage, and more, but those three will be the most common.
To load an image from your bundle and display it inside an image view, you’d just use this:
Image("dog")
Download this as an Xcode project
You also can create an image view from an existing UIImage. As loading a UIImage using its named initializer returns an optional image, you should either add a default value or use a force unwrap if you’re sure it will exist in your asset catalog:
Image(uiImage: UIImage(named: "cat")!) Download this as an Xcode project
If you want to work with Apple’s SF Symbols icon set, you should use the Image(systemName:) initializer, like this:
Image(systemName: "cloud.heavyrain.fill")
.font(.largeTitle) Download this as an Xcode project
Notice how you can use the font() modifier to adjust SF Symbols as if they were text.
