SwiftUI: How to Create a Tab View

Tab views are a common UI pattern in iOS apps, allowing users to navigate between different sections of an app by tapping icons or labels at the bottom of the screen. In SwiftUI, creating a tab view is made simple with the TabView view.

Here is the basic implementation of a TabView:

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
 
 var body: some View {
 TabView {
 Text("First")
 .tabItem {
 Label("First", systemImage: "tray")
 }

 Text("Second")
 .tabItem {
 Label("Second", systemImage: "calendar")
 }
 }
 }
}

The TabView contains two child views, represented by Text views in this example. The tabItem modifier is used to assign a label to each tab using the Label view.

Tab View Example

As you can see, the TabView creates a tab bar at the bottom of the screen with the provided labels. You can replace the Text views with your own custom views to suit your app’s needs.
