# swipeActions(edge:allowsFullSwipe:content:) Adds custom swipe actions to a tab in a tab view. ``` nonisolated func swipeActions(edge: HorizontalEdge = .trailing, allowsFullSwipe: Bool = true, @ContentBuilder content: () -> T) -> some TabContent where T : View ``` ## Parameters `edge` The edge of the view to associate the swipe actions with. The default is [`HorizontalEdge.trailing`](/documentation/SwiftUI/HorizontalEdge/trailing). `allowsFullSwipe` A Boolean value that indicates whether a full swipe automatically performs the first action. The default is `true`. `content` The content of the swipe actions. ## Discussion Use this method to add swipe actions to a view that acts as a row in the tab sidebar. Indicate the [`HorizontalEdge`](/documentation/SwiftUI/HorizontalEdge) where the swipe action originates, and define individual actions with [`Button`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Button) instances. For example, if you have a group of message categories, you can add an action to toggle a category as unread on a swipe from the leading edge, and actions to hide or flag categories on a trailing edge swipe: ``` TabView { TabSection("Messages") { ForEach(store.messageCategories) { category in Tab(category.title, image: category.image) .swipeActions(edge: .leading) { Button { store.toggleUnread(category) } label: { if category.isUnread { Label("Read", systemImage: "envelope.open") } else { Label("Unread", systemImage: "envelope.badge") } } } .swipeActions(edge: .trailing) { Button(role: .destructive) { store.hide(category) } label: { Label("Remove", systemImage: "trash") } Button { store.flag(category) } label: { Label("Flag", systemImage: "flag") } } } } } } ``` Actions appear in the order you list them, starting from the swipe’s originating edge. In the example above, the Delete action appears closest to the screen’s trailing edge. For labels or images that appear in swipe actions, SwiftUI automatically applies the [`fill`](/documentation/SwiftUI/SymbolVariants/fill-swift.type.property) symbol variant, as shown above. By default, the user can perform the first action for a given swipe direction with a full swipe. For the example above, the user can perform both the toggle unread and delete actions with full swipes. You can opt out of this behavior for an edge by setting the `allowsFullSwipe` parameter to `false`. For example, you can disable the full swipe on the leading edge: ``` .swipeActions(edge: .leading, allowsFullSwipe: false) { Button { store.toggleUnread(category) } label: { if category.isUnread { Label("Read", systemImage: "envelope.open") } else { Label("Unread", systemImage: "envelope.badge") } } } ``` When you set a role for a button using one of the values from the [`ButtonRole`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ButtonRole) enumeration, SwiftUI styles the button according to its role. In the example above, the delete action appears in [`red`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ShapeStyle/red) because it has the [`destructive`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ButtonRole/destructive) role. If you want to set a different color — for example, to match the overall theme of your app’s UI — add the [`tint(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/tint(_:)) modifier to the button: ``` .swipeActions(edge: .leading) { Button { store.toggleUnread(category) } label: { if category.isUnread { Label("Read", systemImage: "envelope.open") } else { Label("Unread", systemImage: "envelope.badge") } } .tint(.blue) } .swipeActions(edge: .trailing) { Button(role: .destructive) { store.hide(category) } label: { Label("Hide", systemImage: "trash") } Button { store.flag(category) } label: { Label("Flag", systemImage: "flag") } .tint(.orange) } ``` The modifications in the code above make the toggle unread action [`blue`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ShapeStyle/blue) and the flag action [`orange`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ShapeStyle/orange): Actions accumulate for a given edge if you call the modifier multiple times on the same tab. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
