Force Dark Mode to the View in SwiftUI
Availability: iOS 13.0, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13.0, watchOS 6.0
Since its arrival in 2019 with iOS 13, dark mode has become a user favorite. App developers everywhere, crafting beautiful and functional interfaces . While users typically have the freedom to toggle between light and dark modes.
But there are some situation where a particular screen needs to use only the light or dark color scheme.
# Usage
To achieve this result in SwiftUI is simple. All we need to do is to use the environment()
modifier on the view we need to use a specific color scheme.
Text("Thin Material")
.padding()
.foregroundStyle(.primary)
.background(.thinMaterial)
.environment(\.colorScheme, .dark)
Here we forced the dark mode on a material, to learn more about materials you can read this article.
# Availability
This Modifier is Available for any View
object.
To Apply a specific ColorScheme to an entire app, it can be applied to the rootView.
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup.{
NavigationView {
}.environment(\.colorScheme, .dark)
}
}
It does not work if applied to the WindowGroup
.
