NavigationView pops back to root, omitting intermediate view - swift

Question

In my navigation, I want to be able to go from ContentView -> ModelListView -> ModelEditView OR ModelAddView.
Got this working, my issue now being that when I hit the Back button from ModelAddView, the intermediate view is omitted and it pops back to ContentView; a behaviour that
ModelEditView does not have.
There's a reason for that I guess – how can I get back to ModelListView when dismissing ModelAddView?
Here's the code:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List{
NavigationLink(
destination: ModelListView(),
label: {
Text("1. Model")
})
Text("2. Model")
Text("3. Model")
}
.padding()
.navigationTitle("Test App")
}
}
}
struct ModelListView: View {
#State var modelViewModel = ModelViewModel()
var body: some View {
List(modelViewModel.modelValues.indices) { index in
NavigationLink(
destination: ModelEditView(model: $modelViewModel.modelValues[index]),
label: {
Text(modelViewModel.modelValues[index].titel)
})
}
.navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline)
.navigationBarItems(
trailing:
NavigationLink(
destination: ModelAddView(modelViewModel: $modelViewModel), label: {
Image(systemName: "plus")
})
)
}
}
struct ModelEditView: View {
#Binding var model: Model
var body: some View {
TextField("Titel", text: $model.titel)
}
}
struct ModelAddView: View {
#Binding var modelViewModel: ModelViewModel
#State var model = Model(id: UUID(), titel: "")
var body: some View {
TextField("Titel", text: $model.titel)
}
}
struct ModelViewModel {
var modelValues: [Model]
init() {
self.modelValues = [ //mock data
Model(id: UUID(), titel: "Foo"),
Model(id: UUID(), titel: "Bar"),
Model(id: UUID(), titel: "Buzz")
]
}
}
struct Model: Identifiable, Equatable {
let id: UUID
var titel: String
}

Currently placing a NavigationLink in the .navigationBarItems may cause some issues.
A possible solution is to move the NavigationLink to the view body and only toggle a variable in the navigation bar button:
struct ModelListView: View {
#State var modelViewModel = ModelViewModel()
#State var isAddLinkActive = false // add a `#State` variable
var body: some View {
List(modelViewModel.modelValues.indices) { index in
NavigationLink(
destination: ModelEditView(model: $modelViewModel.modelValues[index]),
label: {
Text(modelViewModel.modelValues[index].titel)
}
)
}
.background( // move the `NavigationLink` to the `body`
NavigationLink(destination: ModelAddView(modelViewModel: $modelViewModel), isActive: $isAddLinkActive) {
EmptyView()
}
.hidden()
)
.navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline)
.navigationBarItems(trailing: trailingButton)
}
// use a Button to activate the `NavigationLink`
var trailingButton: some View {
Button(action: {
self.isAddLinkActive = true
}) {
Image(systemName: "plus")
}
}
}
