How to show NavigationLink as a button in SwiftUI
(9 answers)
Closed 8 months ago.
I tried adding a NavigationLink without a NavigationView on another project and it worked.
However when I tried copy and pasting the code onto another project, it doesn't work.
Please help. I've tried testing it on an empty project and it doesn't work as well. I'm wondering what went wrong. I've checked the curly braces placement as well. All placed correctly...
import SwiftUI
struct Intro: View {
var body: some View {
ZStack {
VStack {
Image("CDM")
.resizable()
.frame(width: 500, height: 500, alignment: .center)
HStack {
Text("Welcome to Chatter")
.font(.system(size: 45, weight: .semibold, design: .rounded))
.foregroundColor(Color("Yellow"))
Image(systemName: "message.fill")
.font(.system(size: 45))
.foregroundColor(Color("Yellow"))
.padding()
}
Text("""
Note:
This experience is best viewed in Horizontal
""")
.font(.system(size: 30, weight: .semibold, design: .rounded))
.foregroundColor(.secondary)
.padding()
Button(action: {
print("intro2")
}) {
NavigationLink(destination: Intro2()) {
Text("Next")
.font(.system(size: 30, weight: .semibold ,design: .rounded))
.foregroundColor(.white)
.padding()
.background(Color("Purple"))
.cornerRadius(20)
}
}
}
}
}
}
struct Intro2: View {
var body: some View {
VStack {
Text("What you can do in this experience")
Button {
print("test")
} label: {
NavigationLink(destination: Main()) {
HStack {
Text("Click here to get started!")
.font(.system(size: 25, weight: .regular ,design: .rounded))
.foregroundColor(.white)
.padding()
.background(Color("Purple"))
.cornerRadius(20)
}
}
}
}
}
}

here is an example code, that shows the NavigationLink is not triggered if it is not inside a NavigationView. Comment-out the NavigationView and see the difference.
import SwiftUI
#main
struct TestApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Button { print("testing") } label: {
NavigationLink(destination: Text("Intro link view")) {
Text("Click here to get started!")
}
}
}
}
}
Note that NavigationView will be deprecated, see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/navigationview
As I mentioned, there is no need to use a Button, NavigationLink is already a button.
