How to Completely Hide Navigation Bar and Sticky Header in SwiftUI?

In the world of mobile development, maintaining a clean, distraction-free layout is particularly important. One effective way to achieve this in your iOS app is by hiding the navigation bar and sticky header. In this article, we will explore how to completely hide the navigation bar in SwiftUI.

Why Hide the Navigation Bar?

The navigation bar in iOS applications serves as a tool for (you guessed it) navigation. However, there are scenarios where you might want to hide it:

To provide a distraction-free reading experience.

When using custom navigation elements.

When creating immersive experiences like games or media players.

Using UINavigationController in UIKit

UIKit's UINavigationController is widely used to manage the navigation stack of view controllers. In a SwiftUI view, you can embed a UIViewController using UIViewControllerRepresentable, and then manage its properties, including hiding the navigation bar.

Here's an example of how to hide the navigation bar:

By calling setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: false), the UINavigationController will hide the navigation bar.

Hiding Navigation Bar in SwiftUI's NavigationView

If you are using SwiftUI's NavigationView, hiding the navigation bar can be a bit more straightforward since it provides a native way to manage this:

In the above code, .navigationBarHidden(true) hides the navigation bar when this view is pushed onto the navigation stack. Additionally, setting the .navigationBarTitle("") with an empty string helps in situations where the title might otherwise push the view out of alignment.

Final Thoughts

SwiftUI offers a modern approach to UI development on iOS, and with a bit of integration with UIKit, you can achieve the desired UI customization. Whether employing UINavigationController or using properties offered by NavigationView, hiding the navigation bar and sticky header ensures a cleaner, more immersive user experience for your app.

Master these techniques and make your SwiftUI applications stand apart with a clean, distraction-free design.
