Sidebar DisclosureGroup

Written on November 13, 2022

---

To organize our sidebar view, we can use DisclosureGroup. We can create different sections and specify if they are expanded by default when the application launches.

import SwiftUI

struct Sidebar: View {

    @State private var isExpanded: Bool = true

    var body: some View {
        List {
            DisclosureGroup(isExpanded:$isExpanded) {
                Label("Books", systemImage: "book.closed")
                Label("Tutorials", systemImage: "list.bullet.rectangle")
                Label("Video Tutorials", systemImage: "tv")
                Label("Contacts", systemImage: "mail.stack")
                Label("Search", systemImage: "magnifyingglass")
            } label: {
                Label("All", systemImage: "list.bullet.rectangle")
            }
        }
        .listStyle(SidebarListStyle())
        .toolbar {
            Button(action: toggleSidebar, label: {
                Image(systemName: "sidebar.left").help("Toggle Sidebar")
            })
        }
        .frame(minWidth: 150)
    }
}

private func toggleSidebar() {
    NSApp.keyWindow?.contentViewController?.tryToPerform(#selector(NSSplitViewController.toggleSidebar(_:)), with: nil)
}

struct ContentView: View {

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Sidebar()
            Text("Use button to toggle sidebar.")
                .frame(minWidth: 200)
        }
        .frame(width: 500, height: 300)
    }
}

import SwiftUI

@main
struct SidebarToggleApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
        .commands {
            SidebarCommands()
        }
    }
}
