Looking for some guidance on a simple way to pop multiple views off a navigation stack in SwiftUI.
I have 4 views chained together using NavigationLink. At the last view I would like to jump back to the initial ContentView, popping all the other views off the stack. I don't want to use the "Back" button on the NavigationBar of each view to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Bob.

import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
NavigationLink(destination: BView()) {
Text("This is View A, now go to View B.")
}
}
}
}
}
struct BView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationLink(destination: CView()) {
Text("This is View B, now go to View C.")
}
}
}
struct CView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationLink(destination: DView()) {
Text("This is View C, now go to View D.")
}
}
}
struct DView: View {
var body: some View {
// The following line adds ContentView onto the existing navigation stack. Instead, I want to pop the previous views off the stack, leaving me back at ContentView.
NavigationLink(destination: ContentView()) {
Text("This is View D, now jump back to View A.")
}
}
}

ContentView -> View1 -> View2 And from View2 you want to pop to the Root view.
The first option is to tell the view to dismiss itself using its presentation mode environment key. Any view can read its presentation mode using @Environment(\. presentationMode) , and calling wrappedValue. dismiss() on that will cause the view to be dismissed.
NavigationView allows a hierarchical way of moving from one view to another. This includes going back to the previously navigated ones. It's an important component of SwiftUI since the majority of applications have multiple screens for presenting its functionality.
It's not really "popping" views off of the stack, but your SceneDelegate
can set the rootViewController
to any View you want (see line 28 of default SceneDelegate.swift
). In your case you want it to be ContentView
again.
For example in your SceneDelegate
add something like:
func toContentView() {
let contentView = ContentView()
window?.rootViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: contentView)
}
Then in DView
, change the NavigationLink
to a Button
that just does:
(UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first?.delegate as? SceneDelegate)?.toContentView()
If you have multiple scenes, you'll need a bit more.
