SwiftUI navigationBarItems disappear in TabView - swift

Question

I have a view that has navigation bar items and I embed that view in a TabView. But when doing that, the bar items no longer appear. If I call the view outside of a TabView everything works as expected.
Below a small sample project to illustrate my issue, note that the TabView is not called on the initial ContentView but later down:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView{
NavigationLink(destination: WarehouseOrderTabView()){
Text("Click me")
}
}
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
struct WarehouseOrderTabView: View {
var body: some View {
TabView{
TabView1().navigationBarTitle("Dashboard")
.tabItem {
Image(systemName: "gauge")
Text("Dashboard")
}
TabView2().navigationBarTitle("Orders")
.tabItem {
Image(systemName: "list.dash")
Text("Orders")
}
}
}
}
struct TabView1: View {
var body: some View {
Text("TabView 1")
//I would expect to see those bar items when displaying tab 1
.navigationBarItems(trailing: (
HStack{
Button(action: {
}, label: {
Image(systemName: "arrow.clockwise")
.font(.title)
})
.padding(.init(top: 0, leading: 0, bottom: 0, trailing: 20))
Button(action: {
}, label: {
Image(systemName: "slider.horizontal.3")
.font(.title)
})
}
))
}
}
struct TabView2: View {
var body: some View {
Text("TabView 2")
}
}
What am I missing here?

A NavigationView can be embedded in a TabView and not vice-versa.
TabView contains different tabItem() (at most 5) that can contain your views.
This is how you can use it.
TabView1.swift
struct TabView1: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Text("TabView 1")
.navigationBarTitle("Dashboard")
.navigationBarItems(trailing:
HStack {
Button(action: {
// more code here
}) {
Image(systemName: "arrow.clockwise")
.font(.title)
}
Button(action: {
// more code here
}) {
Image(systemName: "slider.horizontal.3")
.font(.title)
}
}
)
}
}
}
TabView2.swift
struct TabView2: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
NavigationLink(destination: YourNewView()) {
Text("TabView 1")
}
.navigationBarTitle("Orders")
}
}
}
ContentView.Swift
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
TabView {
TabView1()
.tabItem {
Image(systemName: "gauge")
Text("Dashboard")
}
TabView2()
.tabItem {
Image(systemName: "list.dash")
Text("Orders")
}
}
}
}
Hope it helps :)
