SwiftUI dismiss modal

Question

Since SwiftUI is declarative there is no dismiss methode. How can is add a dismiss/close button to the DetailView?

Answer 1

In Xcode Beta 5, another way to do this is to use @State in the view that launches the modal, and add a binding in the modal view to control visibility of the modal. This doesn't require you to reach into the @Environment presentationMode variable.

struct MyView : View {
    @State var modalIsPresented = false

    var body: some View {
        Button(action: {self.modalIsPresented = true})  {
            Text("Launch modal view")
        }
        .sheet(isPresented: $modalIsPresented, content: {
            MyModalView(isPresented: self.$modalIsPresented)
        })
    }
}


struct MyModalView : View {
    @Binding var isPresented: Bool

    var body: some View {
        Button(action: {self.isPresented = false})  {
            Text("Close modal view")
        }
    }
}

SwiftUI 2 code sample (works with mobiles also)

(sample code doesnt work with swift 1, but you still can try it without @main block)

Full app sample for using sheets:

@main
struct TestAppApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            SheetLink(text: "click me!", content: ChildView() )
                .padding(.all, 100)
        }
    }
}

struct ChildView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("this is subView!")
    }
}

and when subview is larger than main view:

And code behind this:

struct SheetLink<Content> : View where Content: View {
    @State var text: String
    @State var displaySheet = false
    @State var content: Content


    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            Button(text, action: { self.displaySheet = true } ).buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle()).foregroundColor(.blue)
        }
        .sheet(isPresented: $displaySheet) {
            SheetTemplateView(isPresented: self.$displaySheet, content: content)
        }
    }
}

struct SheetTemplateView<Content> : View where Content: View {
    @Binding var isPresented: Bool
    @State var content: Content
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack{
            HStack{
                Button("Back!", action: { isPresented.toggle() } ).buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle()).foregroundColor(.blue)
                Spacer()
            }
            Spacer()
            content
            Spacer()
        }
        .padding()
    }
}

Answer 3

Using @State property wrapper (recommended)

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var showModal = false
    
    var body: some View {
       Button("Show Modal") {
          self.showModal.toggle()
       }.sheet(isPresented: $showModal) {
            ModalView(showModal: self.$showModal)
        }
    }
}

struct ModalView: View {
    @Binding var showModal: Bool
    
    var body: some View {
        Text("Modal view")
        Button("Dismiss") {
            self.showModal.toggle()
        }
    }
}

Using presentationMode

You can use presentationMode environment variable in your modal view and calling self.presentaionMode.wrappedValue.dismiss() to dismiss the modal:

struct ContentView: View {

  @State private var showModal = false

  // If you are getting the "can only present once" issue, add this here.
  // Fixes the problem, but not sure why; feel free to edit/explain below.
  @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode


  var body: some View {
    Button(action: {
        self.showModal = true
    }) {
        Text("Show modal")
    }.sheet(isPresented: self.$showModal) {
        ModalView()
    }
  }
}


struct ModalView: View {

  @Environment(\.presentationMode) private var presentationMode

  var body: some View {
    Group {
      Text("Modal view")
      Button(action: {
         self.presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()
      }) {
        Text("Dismiss")
      }
    }
  }
}

Answer 4

There is now a pretty clean way to do this in Beta 5.

import SwiftUI

struct ModalView : View {
    // In Xcode 11 beta 5, 'isPresented' is deprecated use 'presentationMode' instead
    @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode: Binding<PresentationMode>
    var body: some View {
        Group {
            Text("Modal view")
            Button(action: { self.presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss() }) { Text("Dismiss") }
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView : View {
    @State var showModal: Bool = false
    var body: some View {
        Group {
            Button(action: { self.showModal = true }) { Text("Show modal via .sheet modifier") }
                .sheet(isPresented: $showModal, onDismiss: { print("In DetailView onDismiss.") }) { ModalView() }
        }
    }
}

Answer 5

You can implement this.

struct view: View {
    @Environment(\.isPresented) private var isPresented

    private func dismiss() {
        isPresented?.value = false
    }
}

Answer 6

Since PresentationButton is easy to use but hiding the state wich is undermining the predictive character of SwiftUI I have implemented it with an accessible Binding.

public struct BindedPresentationButton<Label, Destination>: View where Label: View, Destination: View {
    /// The state of the modal presentation, either `visibile` or `off`.
    private var showModal: Binding<Bool>

    /// A `View` to use as the label of the button.
    public var label: Label

    /// A `View` to present.
    public var destination: Destination

    /// A closure to be invoked when the button is tapped.
    public var onTrigger: (() -> Void)?

    public init(
        showModal: Binding<Bool>,
        label: Label,
        destination: Destination,
        onTrigger: (() -> Void)? = nil
    ) {
        self.showModal = showModal
        self.label = label
        self.destination = destination
        self.onTrigger = onTrigger
    }

    public var body: some View {
        Button(action: toggleModal) {
            label
        }
        .presentation(
            !showModal.value ? nil :
                Modal(
                    destination, onDismiss: {
                        self.toggleModal()
                    }
                )
        )
    }

    private func toggleModal() {
        showModal.value.toggle()
        onTrigger?()
    }
}

This is how it is used:

struct DetailView: View {
    @Binding var showModal: Bool

    var body: some View {
        Group {
            Text("Detail")
            Button(action: {
                self.showModal = false
            }) {
                Text("Dismiss")
            }
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var showModal = false

    var body: some View {
        BindedPresentationButton(
            showModal: $showModal,
            label: Text("Show"),
            destination: DetailView(showModal: $showModal)
        ) {
            print("dismissed")
        }
    }
}
