How to control spacing around individual views using padding
How to control spacing around individual views using padding êŽë š
Updated for Xcode 15
SwiftUI lets us set individual padding around views using the padding() modifier, causing views to be placed further away from their neighbors.
If you use this with no parameters you'll get system-default padding on all sides, like this:
VStack {
Text("Using")
Text("SwiftUI")
.padding()
Text("rocks")
}
The text âUsingâ and âSwiftUIâ placed some distance above the text ârocksâ.
But you can also customize how much padding to apply and where. So, you might want to apply system padding to only one side:
VStack {
Text("Using")
Text("SwiftUI")
.padding(.bottom)
Text("rocks")
}
The text âUsingâ and âSwiftUIâ placed some distance above the text ârocksâ.
Or you might want to control how much padding is applied to all sides:
VStack {
Text("Using")
Text("SwiftUI")
.padding(100)
Text("rocks")
}
The text âSwiftUIâ surrounded by lots of whitespace, with the text âUsingâ above and ârocksâ below.
Or you can combine the two to add a specific amount of padding to one side of the view:
VStack {
Text("Using")
Text("SwiftUI")
.padding(.bottom, 100)
Text("rocks")
}
The text âUsingâ and âSwiftUIâ placed a long distance above the text ârocksâ.
