I am trying to create a layout in which there is a list of elements, and a button to add more elements in front of it. I know I could put it in the navigation bar, but that's not the graphic look I'd like to achieve. However, if I put those two elements inside a ZStack, the ForEach becomes overlapped, even though it's within a VStack. How can I solve this?
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
let arrayTest = ["Element 1", "Element 2", "Element 3"]
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
ZStack {
VStack {
ForEach(arrayTest, id: \.self) { strings in
Text(strings)
}
}
VStack {
Spacer()
HStack {
Spacer()
Button(action: {
//AddView
}) {
Image(systemName: "plus")
.background(Circle().foregroundColor(.yellow))
}.padding(.trailing, 20)
.padding(.bottom, 20)
}
}
}
}
}
}
Edit: To be more precise, I would like the button to be over the ForEach, because if I used a VStack and the list of elements was very long, the user would have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find the button. With a ZStack, it would always be visible no matter the point of the list the user is at.
Here is one way of using overlay
, see example in code:
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var arrayTest: [String] = [String]()
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Form { ForEach(arrayTest, id: \.self) { strings in Text(strings) } }
.navigationTitle("Add Elements")
}
.overlay(
Button(action: { addElement() })
{ Image(systemName: "plus").font(Font.largeTitle).background(Circle().foregroundColor(.yellow)) }.padding()
, alignment: .bottomTrailing)
.onAppear() { for _ in 0...12 { addElement() } }
}
func addElement() { arrayTest.append("Element " + "\(arrayTest.count + 1)") }
}
