How do view types like Text or Image conform to the View protocol in SwiftUI?

Question

There is one big thing that confuses me about view types in SwiftUI:

They don\'t seem to conform to the View protocol, but somehow, they mysterious

Answer 1

As you know there are 2 types are Views..

1. Primitive view: Text, Image, Circle etc
2. Container view: List, HStack, VStack etc

That said, below is an extension for Text, Body is set to Never which means its not allowed to have a body because it is a primitive view that is meant for ending body cycle.

So,(per my understanding) at runtime SwiftUI wraps Text inside a container view when it finds a primitive view not being inside a container view.

@available(iOS 13.0, OSX 10.15, tvOS 13.0, watchOS 6.0, *)
extension Text {

    /// The type of view representing the body of this view.
    ///
    /// When you create a custom view, Swift infers this type from your
    /// implementation of the required `body` property.
    public typealias Body = Never
}
