Customize navigationBar in Swift UI - swiftui

Question

I am new in swift ui. I want to put image button on the side of the NavigationBar title.
I want to be able to click the user image and navigate to another view. How?

Answer 1

You need to use navigationBarItems for putting image to navigation bar and you should add NavigationLink to that image. For center the title you need to set navigation bar title's displayMode to .inline or you can use new Toolbar api
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Text("Welcome to Stack Overflow")
.navigationBarTitle("Header", displayMode: .inline)
.navigationBarItems(leading: NavigationLink(destination: Text("Destination")) {
Image(systemName: "person.crop.circle.fill")
.font(.title)
})
}
}
}

Answer 2

Another way using toolbar item.
I am adding TapGesture on image icon, and keeping it out of navigation link, as the image is not getting circular inside the NavigationLink in ToolbarItemGroup.
By leveraging isActive property of NavigationLink which monitors onTap state we can determine either we want to push our view or not.
import SwiftUI
struct WeatherView: View {
#State var onTap = false
var borderColor: Color = Color("Black")
var addProjectToolbarItem: some ToolbarContent {
ToolbarItemGroup(placement: .navigationBarLeading) {
NavigationLink(destination:Text("Welcome"), isActive: self.$onTap) {
EmptyView()
}
Image("yourImage")
.resizable()
.frame(width: 32, height: 32)
.clipShape(Circle())
.onTapGesture {
onTap.toggle()
}
}
}
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
Text("First view")
}
.toolbar{
addProjectToolbarItem
}
.navigationTitle("Header")
.navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline)
}
}
}
