Adding Back icon and "Back" text within a UINavigationItem button in SwiftUI

Question

I have a button that i want it have the < back icon and also back text to it . This is what i did:

Text("\(Image(systemName: "chevron.left"))Back")

I am getting this error:

Instance method 'appendInterpolation' requires that 'Image' conform to '_FormatSpecifiable'

I tried fixing it as :

Text("\(Image(systemName: "chevron.left"))Back" as String)

But it does not work. How can i fix it .

Answer 1

You can create a back button like this:

Button(action: {
    
}, label: {
    HStack(spacing: 4) {
        Image(systemName: "arrow.left")
        Text("Back")
    }
})
.accentColor(.blue)

However, I would note that if you are using a NavigationView and are segueing with a NavigationLink, the back button will automatically be there and you do not need to recreate it.
