What problem does it solve?
SwiftUI toolbars patterns and guidance help developers implement modern, customizable toolbars across Apple platforms, including search integration and platform-aware behavior, reducing boilerplate and UX inconsistencies.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Customizable toolbars: Use
.toolbar(id:) with ToolbarItem(id:) to create dynamic toolbars that users can personalize.
- Search integration & placement: Integrate search via
.searchable() and reposition it with .searchToolbarBehavior.
- Platform-aware patterns: Address iOS vs macOS toolbar expectations, including placements like bottomBar and largeSubtitle.
- Practical scenarios: Build apps with customizable toolbars for productivity, note-taking, or content editing.
Quick Start
Add a toolbar to a SwiftUI view and customize items using ToolbarItem and .toolbar to create an adaptive, platform-aware toolbar.
