swiftui-interface-orientation
The view modifier that Apple forgot. SwiftInterfaceOrientation allows you to easily specify the orientations that are supported by your SwiftUI views.
Usage
Attach the .interfaceOrientations
modifier to any SwiftUI view to specify the interface orientations that are
supported by that view. As long as the view is visible, rotation to the specified orientations will be allowed.
For example, the following view will be restricted to the .portrait
orientation, unless the Toggle is switched on:
import InterfaceOrientation
struct MyView: View {
@State private var isLandscapeAllowed = false
var body: some View {
Toggle("Allow landscape", isOn: $isLandscapeAllowed)
.interfaceOrientations(isLandscapeAllowed ? [.portrait, .landscape] : .portrait)
}
}
Setup
Create an application delegate using @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor
, and implement application(_:supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor:)
:
private class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate {
func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
InterfaceOrientationCoordinator.shared.supportedOrientations
}
}
Multiple views
If orientations are specified by multiple views, the supported orientations for the app are defined by the lowest common denominator (i.e. the intersection of all specified orientations).
For example, given the following code, the only allowed orientation is .portrait
because that is
the only orientation which is supported by all views:
VStack {
A().interfaceOrientations([.portrait, .landscape])
B().interfaceOrientations([.portrait, .portraitUpsideDown])
}
Default orientations
When there are no views that specify custom orientations, a set of default orientations will be used.
SwiftInterfaceOrientation attempts to read this set from the Info.plist, but you can set it manually using
InterfaceOrientationCoordinator.shared.defaultOrientations
Overriding default orientations
Views are allowed to support orientations that are not present in the set of default orientations.
This means that if a view supports .landscapeLeft
, the interface can rotate to landscape, even when
the default orientations don't include .landscapeLeft
.
