swiftui-toolbars

What problem does it solve?

Provides practical patterns and code examples to implement modern, customizable toolbars in SwiftUI, solving inconsistent toolbar layouts, poor search integration, and awkward transitions across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Customizable toolbars: Use .toolbar(id:) with ToolbarItem(id:) to let users add, remove, and reorder items.
• Search integration: Pair .searchable() with .searchToolbarBehavior(.minimize) and reposition default search using DefaultToolbarItem.
• Transitions and animations: Create matched transitions from toolbar items with .matchedTransitionSource and navigationTransition(.zoom).
• Platform-specific placements: Use placements like .bottomBar, .largeSubtitle, and DefaultToolbarItem to adapt to iPhone, iPad, and macOS conventions.
• Practical checks: Includes API availability guidance, anti-patterns, top mistakes, and a review checklist for robust implementations.

Quick Start

Use the swiftui-toolbars skill to add a customizable toolbar with search, matched-transition animations, and platform-aware placements to a SwiftUI view.
