I am working on a SwiftUI application where I have a list of items on the main screen. When an item is selected, it navigates to a detailed view of that item. On this detailed view, there are other clickable elements that should navigate to other views. Initially, I thought of wrapping each view in a NavigationStack to manage the navigation and take advantage of the possibility to use .toolbar. However, I do expect that using multiple NavigationStacks may not be a good practice and could lead to a confusing navigation hierarchy and potential performance issues.
Here's a simplified version of my current structure:
struct MainView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
List(items) { item in
NavigationLink(destination: DetailView(item: item)) {
Text(item.name)
}
}
.toolbar {
// Toolbar items for MainView
}
}
}
}
struct DetailView: View {
var item: Item
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
VStack {
Text(item.description)
NavigationLink(destination: AnotherView()) {
Text("Go Further")
}
}
.toolbar {
// Toolbar items for DetailView
}
}
}
}
Is there a recommended way to manage multi-level navigation in SwiftUI, utilize the .toolbar modifier, and adhere to good practices? Any examples or resources on this would be greatly appreciated.
I have come across alternatives like using a single NavigationStack or TabView, but I am unsure how to apply these to maintain a clean, navigable structure, especially when the navigation hierarchy becomes more complex, while still being able to utilize the .toolbar modifier effectively.
