SwiftUI Show navigation bar title on the back button but not in the previous View - ios

Question

I have two views, one leads to the other. I want that the second view uses the title of the first view for the back button, which should then be: "<View1".
I don't want to show the title in the first view.
Problem: I can't hide navigation bar because it will also hide a custom button which is within it. Setting .navigationTitle("") hides the title in the first view, but also hides it from the back button in the second view.
What I have now:
What I would like to have:
Code:
struct ContentView: View {
#State var isLinkActive = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
NavigationLink("go to the second view", destination: SecondView(), isActive: $isLinkActive).navigationTitle("View1")
.navigationBarItems(leading: Button(action: {
()
}, label: {
Text("custom button")
}))
}
}.navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())
}
private func btnPressed() {
isLinkActive = true
}
}
struct SecondView: View {
var body: some View {
Color.blue
}
}

Answer 1

You need to create custom back button for destination view as well,and you shouldn’t set navigation title for navigationLink, that’s why you are not able to hide “View1” correctly.
Check below code.
import SwiftUI
struct Test: View {
#State var isLinkActive = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
NavigationLink("go to the second view", destination: SecondView()
.navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true)
.navigationBarItems(leading: Button(action: {
isLinkActive = false
}, label: {
HStack{
Image(systemName: "backward.frame.fill")
Text("View1")
}
})) ,
isActive: $isLinkActive)
}.navigationBarItems(leading: Button(action: {
()
}, label: {
Text("custom button")
}))
}.navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())
}
private func btnPressed() {
isLinkActive = true
}
}
struct SecondView: View {
var body: some View {
Color.blue
}
}
You can try and make navigationBar code as reusable component, because you might need to do this at multiple places.

I achieved this by using two modifiers on my main view. Similar to your case, I didn't want a title on the first view, but I wanted the back button on the pushed view to read < Home, not < Back.
.navigationTitle("Home")
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .principal) {
Text("")
}
}
