I'm trying to get an SF Symbol on the left side of a text field in SwiftUI, but the methods used before SwiftUI don't really work. I thought this code would work, but it didn't. Also if anyone could help, how would I change the font and color of the text in the text field?
Here's an image of what I'm trying to accomplish:
TextField(textFieldDescription, text:
.constant(""))
.padding(.all)
.background(textFieldBackground)
.cornerRadius(10)
.leftViewMode = Image(systemName: "lock").always
.leftViewMode = .always
Here's one implementation. Note that there is a bug, where if the initial text of the textfield is empty, the color and font setting will be ignored:
HStack {
Image(systemName: "lock")
TextField("", text: .constant("typed text"))
.foregroundColor(Color.red)
.font(Font.custom("Papyrus", size: 16))
}
.padding()
.overlay(
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)
.stroke(lineWidth: 2)
.foregroundColor(Color.black)
)
