How to log in SwiftUI

[onmyway133]

I see that the modifier needs to do something on the content, otherwise it is not getting called!
This logs on the modifier, when the View is created. A View won't be recreated unless necessary

struct LogModifier: ViewModifier {
    let text: String
    func body(content: Content) -> some View {
        print(text)
        return content
            .onAppear {}
    }
}

extension View {
    func log(_ text: String) -> some View {
        self.modifier(LogModifier(text: text))
    }
}

VStack {
    Text("")
        .log("a text")
}

Another simpler way is to make an extension

extension View {
    func log(_ any: Any) -> Self {
        print("\(any)")
        return self
    }
}
