SwiftUI dismiss modal

Question

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

struct DetailView: View {
  var body: some View {
  Text("Detail")
  }
}

struct ContentView : View {
  var body: some View {
  PresentationButton(Text("Click to show"), destination: DetailView())
  }
}

Answer 1

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

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


struct ModalView: View {

  @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode: Binding<PresentationMode>

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

Seems that for Xcode 11 Beta 7 (this is on build 11M392r of Xcode) it's slightly different.

@Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentation


Button(action: { self.presentation.wrappedValue.dismiss() }) { Text("Dismiss") }

Answer 3

In Xcode 11.0 beta 7, the value is now wrapped, the following function is working for me:

func dismiss() {
    self.presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()
}

The modal views in SwiftUI seem to be simple until you start using them in a List or Form views. I have created a small library which wraps all the edge cases and makes the using of modal views the same as NavigationView-NavigationLink pair.

The library is open-sourced here: https://github.com/diniska/modal-view. You can include it into the project using Swift Package Manager, or just by copying the single file that the library includes.

The solution for your code would be:

struct DetailView: View {
    var dismiss: () -> ()
    var body: some View {
        Text("Detail")
        Button(action: dismiss) {
            Text("Click to dismiss")
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView : View {
    var body: some View {
        ModalPresenter {
            ModalLink(destination: DetailView.init(dismiss:)) {
                Text("Click to show")
            }
        }
    }
}

Additionally, there is an article with full description and examples: How to present modal view in SwiftUI

Answer 5

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() }
        }
    }
}

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")
        }
    }
}
