In SwiftUI, the Label view is a powerful tool for enhancing the user interface of your app. It is commonly used in views like TabView to display both an icon and accompanying text.

Creating a Label view is easy. Simply pass the text label as the first argument, and then specify the desired icon by providing a string to the systemImage parameter. For example, the following code creates a Label view with the label “Calendar” and an associated icon identified by the string “calendar”:

Label("Calendar", systemImage: "calendar")

When rendered, the Label view will appear as follows:

It’s worth noting that the string passed to the systemImage parameter corresponds to one of the available SF Symbols icons. These icons provide a wide range of visual representations that you can choose from to best match your app’s aesthetic.

By leveraging the Label view in SwiftUI, you can easily enhance your app’s user interface with the combination of text labels and visually engaging icons.
