I am a novice when it comes to Swift Programming and am trying to learn how to build my own chat app via some Youtube tutorials. I've gotten pretty far but hit a snag. I don't understand why when I try to scroll up on this view in SwiftUI, the message is cut off halfway through. I thought it had something to do with padding, but padding should be set to all. Check out the screenshot below:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in my code as everything seems to work. My code is attached below. Any help would be appreciated!
import SwiftUI
struct ChatUIView: View {
@State var message = ""
//StateObject is the owner of the object...
@StateObject var allMessages = Messages()
var body: some View {
VStack{
ZStack{
/*
HStack{
Spacer()
}*/
VStack(spacing:5){
Text("Chat")
.fontWeight(.bold)
}
.foregroundColor(.white)
}
.padding(.all)
//Spacer()
VStack{
//Spacer()
//Displaying Message...
ScrollView(.vertical, showsIndicators: false, content: {
ScrollViewReader{reader in
VStack(spacing: 20){
ForEach(allMessages.messages){msg in
//Chat Bubbles...
ChatBubble(msg: msg)
}
//whenever new data is inserted, scroll to bottom...
.onChange(of: allMessages.messages) {(value) in
//scrolling only user message...
if value.last!.myMsg{
reader.scrollTo(value.last?.id)
}
}
}
.padding([.horizontal, .bottom])
.padding(.top, 25)
}
})
HStack(spacing:15){
HStack(spacing: 15){
TextField("Message", text: self.$message)
}
.padding(.vertical, 12)
.padding(.horizontal)
.background(Color.black.opacity(0.06))
.clipShape(Capsule())
//send button
//hiding view...
if message != ""{
Button(action: {
//appending message...
//adding animation...
withAnimation(.easeIn){
allMessages.messages.append(Message(id: Date(), message: message, myMsg: false))
}
message = ""
}, label: {
