RSTabBar

SwiftUI's standard TabView component lacks basic functionality from UIKit like hiding the TabBar in specific screens. RSTabBar aims to fix that while keeping the default look and feel of the OG TabBar

Requirements

• SwiftUI
• iOS 15.0 or newer

Installation

RSTabBar is available through Swift Package Manager

Xcode > File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency > https://github.com/rursache/RSTabBar

Usage

The following view will have 2 custom tabs, each with their Text view:

import SwiftUI
import RSTabBar

struct DemoView: View {
    static let tabs = [
        TabItem(index: 0, title: "Home", icon: "house", iconSelected: "house.fill"),
        TabItem(index: 1, title: "More", icon: "bolt.car")
    ]
    
    @State var tabBarVisible: Bool = true
    @State var tabs = DemoView.tabs
    @State var selectedTab: TabItem = DemoView.tabs.first!
    
    var body: some View {
        RSTabBar(tabs: $tabs, selectedTab: $selectedTab, tabBarVisible: $tabBarVisible) {
            Text("First view")
                .font(.title).bold()
                .padding()
                .tag(self.tabs[0])
                
            Text("Second view")
                .font(.title).bold()
                .padding()
                .tag(self.tabs[1])
        }
    }
}

Hiding the tabbar is easy! Just tabBarVisible = false anywhere

Known issues

• The safe area of the OG transparent TabBar is there and this is on purpose. However there are cases where you don't want that padding. Something like .padding(.bottom, -40) will adjust or remove that padding. I'm not sure what I can do about this.

Contribution

If you struggle with something feel free to open an issue. Pull requests are also appreciated as I still learn SwiftUI.
