Customizing List Styles in SwiftUI

When building applications with SwiftUI, you might find that creating a user-friendly interface involves providing options tailored to user preferences. One common scenario is allowing users to choose between different list styles. In this guide, we explore how you can let users easily switch between two ListStyles in your app.

The Problem: Allowing User Choice in List Styles

Imagine that you’re designing a list in your SwiftUI application that should accommodate different user preferences. Specifically, you want to provide an option for the user to switch between two different styles: .plain and .insetGrouped. This flexibility enhances user experience as it allows them to select a visual layout they find more comfortable.

Below is an example of an initial implementation that encounters a type mismatch error when trying to use a ternary operator to change the listStyle based on user settings. Here’s how it looks:

As shown above, the straightforward approach fails due to type mismatches in SwiftUI's list styles. But fear not, there is an elegant solution to this problem.

The Solution: Create a Custom ViewModifier

To successfully implement user-selected list styles, you can create a custom ViewModifier. This allows you to conditionally apply the appropriate list style based on a boolean value that reflects the user's preference.

Step 1: Define the Content View

Here's how you can set up the ContentView with @ AppStorage to store the user's choice of list style:

Step 2: Create the Custom ViewModifier

Next, you will create the MyListViewModifier that checks the value of isListPlain and applies the correct listStyle:

Step 3: Extend the View with the Custom Modifier

Finally, create an extension to make your custom modifier easily reusable throughout your app:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you've empowered your users to choose their preferred ListStyle in SwiftUI easily. Not only does this enhance user experience, but it also showcases your application’s flexibility and attention to detail.

Feel free to implement this solution in your own projects. Happy coding!
