How to print() to Xcode console in SwiftUI?

Question

So I tried to put a print statement while debugging in a SwiftUI View.

print(\"landmark: \\(landmark)\")

In the following body.

<         


        

Answer 1

Here's a helper Print( ... ) View that acts like a print( ... ) function but within a View

Put this in any of your view files

extension View {
    func Print(_ vars: Any...) -> some View {
        for v in vars { print(v) }
        return EmptyView()
    }
}

and use inside of body like so

Print("Here I am", varOne, varTwo ...)

or inside a ForEach {} like so

self.Print("Inside ForEach", varOne, varTwo ...)

Note: you might need to put Print() into a Group {} when combining with existing views
