🧳 Features

Here's the list of the awesome features NavigationKit has:

In SwiftUI navigtion is handeled by the NavigationView and NavigationLink. At the moment these views have some limitations:

transition animations cannot be turned off or customised;
we can't navigate back either to root (i.e. the first app view), or to a specific view;
we can't push programmatically without using a View;
customizing the NavigationBar is limited or it has to be done via UINavigationBar.appearance() (using UIKit 😒);
presenting a view modally is done with the .sheet and .fullScreenCover view-modifiers adding confusion to the NavigationLink's push like pattern;

NavigationKitView is a view that mimics all the behaviours belonging to the standard NavigationView, but it adds the features listed here above. You have to wrap your view hierarchy inside a NavigationKitView:

import NavigationKit

struct RootView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationKitView {
            Tab_0_0_View()
        }
    }
}

You can even customise transitions and animations in some different ways. The NavigationKitView will apply them to the hierarchy:

you could decide to go for no transition at all by creating the navigation stack this way NavigationStackView(transitionType: .none);
you could create the navigation stack with a custom transition:

import NavigationKit

struct RootView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationKitView(transitionType: .custom(.scale)) {
            Tab_0_0_View()
        }
    }
}

NavigationKitView has a default easing for transitions. The easing can be customised during the initialisation

struct RootView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationKitView(transitionType: .custom(.scale), easing: .spring(response: 0.5, dampingFraction: 0.25, blendDuration: 0.5)) {
            Tab_0_0_View()
        }
    }
}

Important: The above is the recommended way to customise the easing function for your transitions. Please, note that you could even specify the easing this other way:

NavigationKitView(transitionType: .custom(AnyTransition.scale.animation(.spring(response: 0.5, dampingFraction: 0.25, blendDuration: 0.5))))

Attaching the easing directly to the transition? Don't do this. SwiftUI has still some problems with implicit animations attached to transitions, so it may not work. For example, implicit animations attached to a .slide transition won't work.

⬅️ Push

In order to navigate forward you have to push with an optional delay:

import NavigationKit

struct Tab_0_0_View: View {
    
    @EnvironmentObject private var navigation: Navigation
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button {
                navigation.push(Tab_0_1_View(), delay: 1.5)
            } label: {
                Text("Next")
            }
            Spacer()
        }
    }
}

Make sure you are using a view model in order for values to persist between push/pop operations. SwiftUI resets all the properties of a view marked with @State every time the view is removed from a view hierarchy. For the NavigationKitView this is a problem because when I come back to a previous view (with a pop operation) I want all my view controls to be as I left them before (for example I want my TextFields to contain the text I previously typed in). It seems that the solution to this problem is using the .id modifier specifying an id for the views I don't want SwiftUI to reset. According to the Apple documentation the .id modifier:

Generates a uniquely identified view that can be inserted or removed.

but again, it seems that this API is currently not working as expected (take a look at this interesting post: https://swiftui-lab.com/swiftui-id/). In order to workaround this problem, then, you have to use @ObservableObject when you need to make some state persist between push/pop operations.

import NavigationKit

struct Tab_0_0_View: View {
    
    @EnvironmentObject private var navigation: Navigation
    @ObservedObject private var viewModel = Tab_0_0_ViewModel()
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            
            TextField("Type something...", text: $viewModel.text)
                .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
            
            Button {
                self.viewModel.fetchData { (result) in
                    switch result {
                    case .success(let finished):
                        if finished {
                            navigation.push(Tab_0_2_View())
                        } else {
                            print("Something went wrong")
                        }
                    case .failure(let err):
                        print(err.localizedDescription)
                    }
                }
            } label: {
                Text("Push after model operation")
            }
            Spacer()
        }
    }
}

🆔 Specifying an ID

It's not mandatory, but if you want to come back to a specific view at some point later you need to specify an ID for that view:

Button {
    navigation.push(Tab_0_1_View(), withId: "Tab_0_1_View")
} label: {
    Text("Next")
}

You will be able to pop to this view using the id. Read on. 🤓

➡️ Pop

Pop operation works as the push operation, with an optional delay:

Button {
    navigation.pop(delay: 1.5)
} label: {
    Label("Back", systemImage: "chevron.backward")
}

which pops to the previous view. You can even specify a destination for your pop operation:

Button {
    navigation.pop(to: .view(withId: "Tab_0_1_View"))
} label: {
    Text("Pop to Tab_0_1_View")
}

We can also pop to root like so:

Button {
    navigation.pop(to: .root)
} label: {
    Text("Pop to Root")
}

🚧 NavigationBar

NavigationKit replaces NavigationView altogether. In order to see a navigation bar you can create your own or use the built in view modifiers. You must add them as a modifier of a VStack which contains a Spacer to push its content up.

Inline navigation bar

VStack {
    ...
    Spacer()
}
.inlineNavigationBar(titleView:
            Text("Tab_0_1_View").bold(),
        leadingView:
            Button {
                navigation.pop()
            } label: {
                Label("Back", systemImage: "chevron.backward")
            },
        trailingView:
            Button {
                navigation.push(Tab_0_2_View())
            } label: {
                Text("Next")
            },
        backgroundView:
            Color(.secondarySystemBackground).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.top)
)

Large navigation bar

VStack {
    ...
    Spacer()
}
.largeNavigationBar(titleView:
            Text("Tab_0_0_View").bold().lineLimit(1),
        leadingView:
            EmptyView(),
        trailingView:
            Button {
                navigation.push(Tab_0_1_View(), withId: "Tab_0_1_View")
            } label: {
                Text("Next")
            },
        backgroundView:
            Color(.secondarySystemBackground).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.top)
)

Custom navigation bar

var body: some View {
    VStack {
        ...
        Spacer()
    }.customNavigationBar(titleView:
                            HStack {
                                Text("TODAY").font(.title).fontWeight(.light)
                                Spacer()
                                Text(todayString().uppercased()).font(.title).fontWeight(.light)
                            },
                          backgroundView:
                            Color(.secondarySystemBackground).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.top)
    )
}

func todayString() -> String {
    let formatter = DateFormatter()
    formatter.dateFormat = "EEE MM/dd"
    return formatter.string(from: Date())
}

⬆️ Present

Presenting a modal is a bit diferent than pushing:

create a @State variable for your view;
add a Sheet or FullScreenSheet view with an optional onDismiss callback. You must add it to the view hierarchy. Don't worry they are EmptyViews;
activate the modal with present()

IMPORTANT NOTE: you can present a NavigationKitView inside a Sheet / FullScreenSheet 😎

import NavigationKit

struct Tab_1_0_View: View {
    
    // 1.
    @State private var navigationForTab_0_0_View = false
    @State private var navigationForTab_1_1_View = false
    
    @State private var navigationForTab_0_0_View_onDismiss = false
    @State private var navigationForTab_1_1_View_onDismiss = false
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button {
                // 3.
                navigationForTab_0_0_View_onDismiss.present()
            } label: {
                Text("Present with onDismiss callback")
            }
            
            Button {
                // 3.
                navigationForTab_1_1_View_onDismiss.present()
            } label: {
                Text("Present with onDismiss callback")
            }
            
            Spacer()
            
            // 2.
            Sheet(isPresented: $navigationForTab_0_0_View) {
                NavigationKitView {
                    Tab_0_0_View() // <- contains push navigation
                }
            }
            
            // 2.
            FullScreenSheet(isPresented: $navigationForTab_1_1_View) {
                NavigationKitView {
                    Tab_1_1_View()
                }
            }
            
            // 2.
            Sheet(isPresented: $navigationForTab_0_0_View_onDismiss) {
                print("Dismissed Sheet. Do something here.")
            } content: {
                NavigationKitView {
                    Tab_0_0_View()
                }
            }
            
            // 2.
            FullScreenSheet(isPresented: $navigationForTab_1_1_View_onDismiss) {
                print("Dismissed FullScreenSheet. Do something here.")
            } content: {
                NavigationKitView {
                    Tab_1_1_View()
                }
            }
        }
        .padding()
        .largeNavigationBar(titleView:
                    Text("Tab_1_0_View").bold().lineLimit(1),
                leadingView:
                    Button {
                        // 3.
                        navigationForTab_0_0_View.present()
                    } label: {
                        Text("Present Navigation")
                    },
                trailingView:
                    Button {
                        // 3.
                        navigationForTab_1_1_View.present()
                    } label: {
                        Text("Present")
                    },
                backgroundView:
                    Color(.tertiarySystemBackground).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.top)
        )
    }
}

⬇️ Dismiss

Here's how you can dismiss the modal:

grab the presentationMode environment
dimiss with it's wrappedValue

struct Tab_1_1_View: View {
    
    // 1.
    @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Color(.systemRed).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
        }
        .largeNavigationBar(titleView:
                    Text("Tab_1_1_View").bold().lineLimit(1),
                leadingView:
                    Button {
                        // 2.
                        presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()
                    } label: {
                        Text("Dismiss")
                    },
                trailingView:
                    EmptyView(),
                backgroundView:
                    Color(.tertiarySystemBackground).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.top)
        )
    }
}

You may also disable swipe down on the Sheet:

Sheet(isPresented: $navigationForTab_1_3_View) {
    NavigationKitView {
        Tab_1_3_View().disableSwipeToDismiss()
    }
}

If you want to dismiss to root you want to use @Bindings and dismiss in order. 0.25 is the optimal delay:

struct Tab_1_3_View: View {
    @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode
    
    @Binding var rootView: Bool
    @Binding var secondRootView: Bool
    @Binding var thirdRootView: Bool
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Color(.systemRed).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
        }
        .largeNavigationBar(titleView:
                    Text("Tab_1_3_View").bold().lineLimit(1),
                leadingView:
                    EmptyView(),
                trailingView:
                    Button {
                        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now()) {
                            thirdRootView.dismiss()
                        }
                        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.25) {
                            secondRootView.dismiss()
                        }
                        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5) {
                            rootView.dismiss()
                        }
                    } label: {
                        Text("Dismiss to Root")
                    },
                backgroundView:
                    Color(.tertiarySystemBackground).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.top)
        )
    }
}

Use of multiple .pushesAsRoot in same View navigates to random Views

Hello @rebeloper,

I am exploring NavigationKit and there is one problem happening in my project. Let me explain you the problem first:

I have created one RootView as main View and added two Text with .pushesAsRoot property with which should navigate to two different Views but it is navigating wrong View if there are multiple .pushesAsRoot used in same View.

Here is the video of the problem:

Multiple.pushesAsRoot.mp4

Code snippets:

@main
struct NavigationDemoApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            NavigationView{
                // main view
                RootView()
            }
            .rootable()
        }
    }
}

RootView with two .pushesAsRoot()

struct RootView: View {
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack{
            Text("Root Controller")
                .font(.title)
                .padding(.bottom, 100)
            
            VStack(alignment: .center, spacing: 50){
                // Push button 1
                Button {
                } label: {
                    Text("Push to Child 1")
                        .foregroundColor(.white)
                        .frame(width: 200, height: 50)
                        .pushesAsRoot(Child1())
                }
                .background(Color.blue)
                .clipShape(Capsule())
                .padding(.bottom)
                
                //Push button 2
                Button {
                } label: {
                    Text("Push to AfterLogin 1")
                        .foregroundColor(.white)
                        .frame(width: 200, height: 50)
                        .pushesAsRoot(AfterLogin1())
                }
                .background(Color.blue)
                .clipShape(Capsule())
            }
        }
    }
}

Child1 View

struct Child1: View {
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack{
            
            Text("Child 1")
                .font(.title)
                .padding(.bottom, 100)
            
            // Push button
            Button {
            } label: {
                Text("Push to Child 2")
                    .foregroundColor(.white)
                    .frame(width: 200, height: 50)
                    .pushes(Child2())
            }
            .background(Color.blue)
            .clipShape(Capsule())
            .padding(.bottom)
            
            // Pop to root button
            Button {
            } label: {
                Text("Pop to Root View")
                    .foregroundColor(.white)
                    .frame(width: 200, height: 50)
                    .dismissesToRoot()
            }
