SwiftUI - PresentationButton with modal that is full screen

Question

I am trying to implement a button that presents another scene with a \"Slide from Botton\" animation.

PresentationButton looked like a good candidate, so I gave it

Answer 1

Unfortunately, as of Beta 2 Beta 3, this is not possible in pure SwiftUI. You can see that Modal has no parameters for anything like UIModalPresentationStyle.fullScreen. Likewise for PresentationButton.

I suggest filing a radar.

The nearest you can currently do is something like:

    @State var showModal: Bool = false
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Button(action: {
                self.showModal = true
            }) {
                Text("Tap me!")
            }
        }
        .navigationBarTitle(Text("Navigation!"))
        .overlay(self.showModal ? Color.green : nil)
    }

Of course, from there you can add whatever transition you like in the overlay.

Answer 2

My solution for this (which you can easily extend to allow other params on the presented sheets to be tweaked) is to just subclass UIHostingController

//HSHostingController.swift

import Foundation
import SwiftUI

class HSHostingControllerParams {
    static var nextModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationStyle?
}

class HSHostingController<Content> : UIHostingController<Content> where Content : View {

    override func present(_ viewControllerToPresent: UIViewController, animated flag: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) {

        if let nextStyle = HSHostingControllerParams.nextModalPresentationStyle {
            viewControllerToPresent.modalPresentationStyle = nextStyle
            HSHostingControllerParams.nextModalPresentationStyle = nil
        }

        super.present(viewControllerToPresent, animated: flag, completion: completion)
    }

}

use HSHostingController instead of UIHostingController in your scene delegate like so:

    // Use a HSHostingController as window root view controller.
    if let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene {
        let window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)

        //This is the only change from the standard boilerplate
        window.rootViewController = HSHostingController(rootView: contentView)

        self.window = window
        window.makeKeyAndVisible()
    }

then just tell the HSHostingControllerParams class what presentation style you want before triggering a sheet

        .navigationBarItems(trailing:
            HStack {
                Button("About") {
                    HSHostingControllerParams.nextModalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
                    self.showMenuSheet.toggle()
                }
            }
        )

Passing the params via the class singleton feels a little 'dirty', but in practice - you would have to create a pretty obscure scenario for this not to work as expected.

You could mess around with environment variables and the like (as other answers have done) - but to me, the added complication isn't worth the purity.

Answer 3

Although my other answer is currently correct, people probably want to be able to do this now. We can use the Environment to pass a view controller to children. Gist here

struct ViewControllerHolder {
    weak var value: UIViewController?
}


struct ViewControllerKey: EnvironmentKey {
    static var defaultValue: ViewControllerHolder { return ViewControllerHolder(value: UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.rootViewController ) }
}

extension EnvironmentValues {
    var viewController: UIViewControllerHolder {
        get { return self[ViewControllerKey.self] }
        set { self[ViewControllerKey.self] = newValue }
    }
}

Add an extension to UIViewController

extension UIViewController {
    func present<Content: View>(style: UIModalPresentationStyle = .automatic, @ViewBuilder builder: () -> Content) {
        // Must instantiate HostingController with some sort of view...
        let toPresent = UIHostingController(rootView: AnyView(EmptyView()))
        toPresent.modalPresentationStyle = style
        // ... but then we can reset rootView to include the environment
        toPresent.rootView = AnyView(
            builder()
                .environment(\.viewController, ViewControllerHolder(value: toPresent))
        )
        self.present(toPresent, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

And whenever we need it, use it:

struct MyView: View {

    @Environment(\.viewController) private var viewControllerHolder: ViewControllerHolder
    private var viewController: UIViewController? {
        self.viewControllerHolder.value
    }

    var body: some View {
        Button(action: {
           self.viewController?.present(style: .fullScreen) {
              MyView()
           }
        }) {
           Text("Present me!")
        }
    }
}

[EDIT] Although it would be preferable to do something like @Environment(\.viewController) var viewController: UIViewController? this leads to a retain cycle. Therefore, you need to use the holder.

So I was struggling with that and I didn't like the overlay feature nor the ViewController wrapped version since it gave me some memory bug and I am very new to iOS and only know SwiftUI and no UIKit.

I developed credits the following with just SwiftUI which is probably what an overlay does but for my purposes it is much more flexible:

struct FullscreenModalView<Presenting, Content>: View where Presenting: View, Content: View {

    @Binding var isShowing: Bool
    let parent: () -> Presenting
    let content: () -> Content

    @inlinable public init(isShowing: Binding<Bool>, parent: @escaping () -> Presenting, @ViewBuilder content: @escaping () -> Content) {
        self._isShowing = isShowing
        self.parent = parent
        self.content = content
    }

    var body: some View {
        GeometryReader { geometry in
            ZStack {
                self.parent().zIndex(0)
                if self.$isShowing.wrappedValue {
                    self.content()
                    .background(Color.primary.colorInvert())
                    .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
                    .frame(width: geometry.size.width, height: geometry.size.height)
                    .transition(.move(edge: .bottom))
                    .zIndex(1)

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Adding an extension to View:

extension View {

    func modal<Content>(isShowing: Binding<Bool>, @ViewBuilder content: @escaping () -> Content) -> some View where Content: View {
        FullscreenModalView(isShowing: isShowing, parent: { self }, content: content)
    }

}

Usage: Use a custom view and pass the showModal variable as a Binding<Bool> to dismiss the modal from the view itself.

struct ContentView : View {
    @State private var showModal: Bool = false
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            Button(action: {
                withAnimation {
                    self.showModal.toggle()
                }
            }, label: {
                HStack{
                   Image(systemName: "eye.fill")
                    Text("Calibrate")
                }
               .frame(width: 220, height: 120)
            })
        }
        .modal(isShowing: self.$showModal, content: {
            Text("Hallo")
        })
    }
}

I hope this helps!

This version fixes the compile error present in XCode 11.1 as well as ensures that controller is presented in the style that is passed in.

import SwiftUI

struct ViewControllerHolder {
    weak var value: UIViewController?
}

struct ViewControllerKey: EnvironmentKey {
    static var defaultValue: ViewControllerHolder {
        return ViewControllerHolder(value: UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.rootViewController)

    }
}

extension EnvironmentValues {
    var viewController: UIViewController? {
        get { return self[ViewControllerKey.self].value }
        set { self[ViewControllerKey.self].value = newValue }
    }
}

extension UIViewController {
    func present<Content: View>(style: UIModalPresentationStyle = .automatic, @ViewBuilder builder: () -> Content) {
        let toPresent = UIHostingController(rootView: AnyView(EmptyView()))
        toPresent.modalPresentationStyle = style
        toPresent.rootView = AnyView(
            builder()
                .environment(\.viewController, toPresent)
        )
        self.present(toPresent, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

To use this version, the code is unchanged from the previous version.

struct MyView: View {

    @Environment(\.viewController) private var viewControllerHolder: UIViewController?
    private var viewController: UIViewController? {
        self.viewControllerHolder.value
    }

    var body: some View {
        Button(action: {
           self.viewController?.present(style: .fullScreen) {
              MyView()
           }
        }) {
           Text("Present me!")
        }
    }
}

Xcode 12.0 - SwiftUI 2 - iOS 14

Now possible. Use fullScreenCover() modifier.

var body: some View {
    Button("Present!") {
        self.isPresented.toggle()
    }
    .fullScreenCover(isPresented: $isPresented, content: FullScreenModalView.init)
}
