Disable horizontal scrolling for WKWebView - swiftui

Question

I know how to do this for UIWebView, but it is deprecated. I have figured out how to hide both the vertical and horizontal scroll indicators, disable scrollview bounces and disable the pinch gesture recognizer but still haven't found a way to wholly disable horizontal scrolling in the webview. Any help would be appreciated, below is my WebView.Swift.
struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable
{
let request: URLRequest
var webView: WKWebView?
init (request: URLRequest)
{
self.webView = WKWebView()
self.request = request
webView?.scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
webView?.scrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false
webView?.scrollView.pinchGestureRecognizer?.isEnabled = false
webView?.scrollView.bounces = false
}
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
return webView!
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
uiView.load(request)
}
func goBack()
{
webView?.goBack()
}
func refresh()
{
webView?.reload()
}
func goHome()
{
webView?.load(request)
}
}

For this, you may use Coordinator. There is good explanation for their.
Create class Coordinator in your UIViewRepresentable. Add UIScrollViewDelegate to class. In makeUIView, set webView?.scrollView.delegate = context.coordinator.
In Coordinator, you need this function.
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
if (scrollView.contentOffset.x > 0){
scrollView.contentOffset = CGPoint(x: 0, y: scrollView.contentOffset.y)
}
}
And now, horizontal scroll not work!
All code
import WebKit
struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable {
let request: URLRequest
var webView: WKWebView?
class Coordinator: NSObject, UIScrollViewDelegate {
var parent: WebView
init(_ parent: WebView) {
self.parent = parent
}
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
if (scrollView.contentOffset.x > 0){
scrollView.contentOffset = CGPoint(x: 0, y: scrollView.contentOffset.y)
}
}
}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
init (request: URLRequest) {
self.webView = WKWebView()
self.request = request
webView?.scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
webView?.scrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false
webView?.scrollView.pinchGestureRecognizer?.isEnabled = false
webView?.scrollView.bounces = false
}
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
webView?.scrollView.delegate = context.coordinator
return webView!
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
uiView.load(request)
}
// You funcs
}
