Dynamically hiding view in SwiftUI

Question

I\'m trying to conditionally hide a DatePicker in SwiftUI. However, I\'m having any issue with mismatched types:

var datePicker = DatePicker($da         


        

Answer 1

Rather than dynamically setting a variable and using it in my view, I found that I was able to hide or show the date picker this way:

struct ContentView : View {
    @State var showDatePicker = true
    @State var datePickerDate: Date = Date()

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            if self.showDatePicker {
                DatePicker($datePickerDate)
            } else {
                DatePicker($datePickerDate).hidden()
            }
        }
    }
}

Or, optionally, not including the date picker instead of hiding it:

struct ContentView : View {
    @State var showDatePicker = true
    @State var datePickerDate: Date = Date()

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            if self.showDatePicker {
                DatePicker($datePickerDate)
            }
        }
    }
}
