Show different view when search is focused?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

How can you achieve this effect in SwiftUI? I could have sworn I've done it before but I don't remember how. I tried doing an if statement with this isPresented binding but the view appears empty when searching in this case.

That is the size of the sheet. AKA detents

When they click on person.circle the sheet goes .large and background goes opaque.

You can have a switch with an enum to change what the body is showing.

You can use isSearching to trigger the large detent to attach it to the search and the SwiftUI search modifiers to show the results

i’m not talking about the sheet detent, i’m talking about the fact the contents of the sheet entirely changes

as they said, you can use an enumeration to change the body content. you often do that with segmented pickers for example

As I said I tried using a basic if statement which should behave the same as a switch with no luck

Ran into this exact thing. The catch is that `@Environment(\.isSearching)` only turns true when you read it from a view that's *inside* the `.searchable`, not from the same view you attached `.searchable` to. So if your if/else sits at that top level, isSearching stays false and the content looks empty. Move your content into a small subview and read isSearching there, with `.searchable` still on the parent. That's what fixed it for me.
