SwiftUI - How do I change the background color of a View?

Question

I\'m beginning to try out SwiftUI and I\'m surprised that it doesn\'t seem to be straightforward to change the background color of a View. How do y

Answer 1

I like to declare a modifier for changing the background color of a view.

extension View {
  func background(with color: Color) -> some View {
    background(GeometryReader { geometry in
      Rectangle().path(in: geometry.frame(in: .local)).foregroundColor(color)
    })
  }
}

Then I use the modifier by passing in a color to a view.

struct Content: View {

  var body: some View {
    Text("Foreground Label").foregroundColor(.green).background(with: .black)
  }

}
