Layout question - how do I setup for a view block to expand over the bottom safe area? I've looked through various sources for ignoresSafeAreas() but can't achieve quite the result I'm looking for. I want, later, to be able to expand this view upwards but start it short. If that makes sense.
var body: some View {
VStack{
Spacer()
HStack(alignment: .center) {
Text ("Expand to fill bottom safe area ...?")
.foregroundColor(.white)
}
.frame(minWidth: 100, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 50, maxHeight: 100)
.background(Color.red)
.ignoresSafeArea()
}
}

Put ignoresSafeArea inside background. This will let the red color extend over to the device edges, but the HStack's position will stay the same.
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack{
Spacer()
HStack(alignment: .center) {
Text ("Expand to fill bottom safe area ...?")
.foregroundColor(.white)
}
.frame(minWidth: 100, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 50, maxHeight: 100)
.background(Color.red.ignoresSafeArea()) /// inside `background`
}
}
}
Put ignoresSafeArea on the VStack, and everything will ignore the safe area.
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack{
Spacer()
HStack(alignment: .center) {
Text ("Expand to fill bottom safe area ...?")
.foregroundColor(.white)
}
.frame(minWidth: 100, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 50, maxHeight: 100)
.background(Color.red)
}
.ignoresSafeArea() /// attached to `VStack`
}
}
Result:
| Option 1 | Option 2 |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
