SwiftUI: Send email

In a normal UIViewController in Swift, I use this code to send a mail.

let mailComposeViewController = configuredMailComposeViewController()

mailComposeViewController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem?.style = .plain
mailComposeViewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem?.style = .plain
mailComposeViewController.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.white

if MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() {
    self.present(mailComposeViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
    self.showSendMailErrorAlert()
}

How can I achieve the same in SwiftUI?

Do I need to use UIViewControllerRepresentable?

As you mentioned, you need to port the component to SwiftUI via UIViewControllerRepresentable.

Here's a simple implementation:

struct MailView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {

    @Binding var isShowing: Bool
    @Binding var result: Result<MFMailComposeResult, Error>?

    class Coordinator: NSObject, MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate {

        @Binding var isShowing: Bool
        @Binding var result: Result<MFMailComposeResult, Error>?

        init(isShowing: Binding<Bool>,
             result: Binding<Result<MFMailComposeResult, Error>?>) {
            _isShowing = isShowing
            _result = result
        }

        func mailComposeController(_ controller: MFMailComposeViewController,
                                   didFinishWith result: MFMailComposeResult,
                                   error: Error?) {
            defer {
                isShowing = false
            }
            guard error == nil else {
                self.result = .failure(error!)
                return
            }
            self.result = .success(result)
        }
    }

    func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
        return Coordinator(isShowing: $isShowing,
                           result: $result)
    }

    func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<MailView>) -> MFMailComposeViewController {
        let vc = MFMailComposeViewController()
        vc.mailComposeDelegate = context.coordinator
        return vc
    }

    func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: MFMailComposeViewController,
                                context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<MailView>) {

    }
}

Usage:

struct ContentView: View {

    @State var result: Result<MFMailComposeResult, Error>? = nil
    @State var isShowingMailView = false

    var body: some View {

        VStack {
            if MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() {
                Button("Show mail view") {
                    self.isShowingMailView.toggle()
                }
            } else {
                Text("Can't send emails from this device")
            }
            if result != nil {
                Text("Result: \(String(describing: result))")
                    .lineLimit(nil)
            }
        }
        .sheet(isPresented: $isShowingMailView) {
            MailView(isShowing: self.$isShowingMailView, result: self.$result)
        }

    }

}
