Navigation View -Notes Like Sidebar - Toggle button - ios

Question

I am very new to iOS development and Swift UI. I am making an app for our company. I believe Apple Notes like approach is best. I got most working tanks to some Udemmy courses and a couple of weeks of intense Googling. But I can't figure out how to implement the toggle sidebar button. I am probably searching for something obvious but using the wrong terminology.
I am talking about this:
When I remove most of the code, I have a structure like this:
NavigationView {
List {
Section(header: RoomHeader()) {
ForEach(sections) { section in
NavigationLink(destination: ViewRoom(section: section)) {
RoomListItem(section: section)
}
}
}
}
.navigationTitle("Rooms")
.listStyle(InsetGroupedListStyle())
}
The ViewRoom class
import SwiftUI
struct ViewRoom: View {
var room: RoomModel
var body: some View {
ZStack {
ScrollView {
VStack {
controls
title
// ....
}
.padding()
}
bottomBar
}
.navigationTitle(room.name)
.navigationBarItems(
trailing: HStack {
// ...
}
)
}
var controls: some View {
HStack {
Spacer()
// Couldn't find the icon on SF Symbols but this is the toggle button
Button(action: {}, label: {
Image(systemName: "rectangle.portrait.arrowtriangle.2.outward")
})
}
.font(.system(size: 24))
.padding(.top, 15)
}
// ...
}
I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if how to implement this toggle feature.

You can use Zstack & animation & transition features of SwiftUI. I made a sample for you to dig more into it and explore more about above mentioned concepts.
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var showDetails = false
var body: some View {
ZStack {
if showDetails {
LeftView()
.transition(.move(edge: .leading))
.zIndex(1)
} else {
Button("Press to show details") {
withAnimation(.spring()) {
showDetails.toggle()
}
}
}
}
.onTapGesture {
withAnimation(.spring()) {
showDetails.toggle()
}
}
}
}
Below is leftView which will animated from left
struct LeftView: View {
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
VStack {
Text("Hello, World!")
}
.frame(width: 200, height: geometry.size.height)
.background(Color.blue)
}
}
}
