SwiftUI Text alignment with maxWidth not working

Question

I have the following code:

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Test")
            .foregroundColor(.white)
            .font(.subheadline)
            .frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
            .alignmentGuide(.leading) { d in d[.leading] }
            .background(Color(.blue))
    }
}

But as you can see on the image bellow, it does not left align the text. Does anyone knows why this is happening? Maybe because i'm using maxWidth the alignmentGuide thinks it's already left aligned?

Answer 1

Because alignmentGuide has effect in container with other subviews. In this case you need to align Text within own frame.

Here is solution

Text("Test")
    .foregroundColor(.white)
    .font(.subheadline)
    .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)   // << here !!
    .background(Color(.blue))
