Create a NavigationLink without back button SwiftUI

Viewed 6037

Im trying to link a button action in SomeView1() to navigate to a someView2() without having the back button at the top of the screen. Instead, I want to add another button in SomeView2() that will navigate back to SomeView1(). is this possible in SwiftUI yet?

SomeView1()

struct SomeView1: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            VStack {
                //...view's content

                NavigationLink(destination: SomeView2()) {
                    Text("go to SomeView2")
                }
                Spacer()
            }
        }
    }
}

SomeView2()

struct SomeView2: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            VStack {
                //...view's content

                NavigationLink(destination: SomeView1()) {
                    Text("go to SomeView1")
                }
                Spacer()
            }
        }
    }
}

this is what it looks like: enter image description here

The right way to get what you want here is to use the presentationMode environment variable:

import SwiftUI

struct View2: View {
    @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode: Binding<PresentationMode>

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button(action: {
                self.presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()
            }) {
                Text("POP")
            }
        }
        .navigationBarTitle("")
        .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true)
        .navigationBarHidden(true)
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            NavigationLink(destination: View2()) {
                Text("PUSH")
                    .navigationBarTitle("")
                    .navigationBarHidden(true)
            }
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
    }
}

You can do something like this in SomeView2():

NavigationView {
   VStack {
            //...view's content

        NavigationLink(destination: SomeView1()) {
            Text("go to SomeView1")
        }
        Spacer()
    }
}.navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true)

I believe that you should use only one NavigationView for the whole navigation process. Now you have three NavigationViews inside each other, which produces three back buttons.

So in your case it would become something like this:

struct SomeView1InsideNavigationView: View { // This should be the first view you present
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView { // Use NavigationView only once
            SomeView1()
        }
    }
}

struct SomeView1: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack { // Do *not* use NavigationView here
            //...view's content

            NavigationLink(destination: SomeView2()) {
                Text("go to SomeView2")
            }
            Spacer()
        }
    }
}

struct SomeView2: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack { // Do *not* use NavigationView here
            //...view's content

            NavigationLink(destination: SomeView1()) {
                Text("go to SomeView1")
            }
            Spacer()
        }
    }
}
