Select Multiple Items in SwiftUI List

Question

In UIKit you can select multiple rows of a UITableView by using allowsMultipleSelection - can this be done with the List in SwiftUI?

Answer 1

First add this to your view

@State var selectedItems = Set()

The type of the Set depends on the type you use to id: the items in the ForEach

Next declare the List

List(selection: $selectedItems) {
    ForEach(items, id: \.id) { item in
        Text("\(item.name)")
    }
}

Now whatever you select gets added to the selectedItems Set remember to clear it out after you use it.
