I am currently working on a comments section modeled after TikTok's/Instagram's comment sections for a media app. The view is a sheet view that is presented as follows:
.sheet(isPresented: $showChat) { TakesChatView(viewModel: viewModel) .presentationDetents([.medium, .large]) .presentationDragIndicator(.hidden) .overlay( VStack { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 2) .fill(Color.gray) .frame(width: 40, height: 5) .padding(.top, 15) .opacity(0.8) Label("Chat", systemImage: "message.badge") .lineLimit(nil) .padding(.top, 5) .padding([.leading, .trailing], 16) Divider() .padding(.top, 5) .padding([.leading, .trailing], 16) Spacer() } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .top) ) }.ignoresSafeArea(.keyboard, edges: .bottom)
However, some issues arise regarding keyboard avoidance. Currently, when the user taps on the TextField
to type a comment, the keyboard shifts the entire view upwards as it pops up. Instead, I need it where I can still view the comments without the keyboard affecting their placement when it pop up.
Below is the associated code for the comment view:
struct TakesChatView: View { @ObservedObject var viewModel: TakeCommentViewModel @FocusState var focus: Bool @State private var selectedMedia: [PhotosPickerItem] = [] @State private var selectedImageData: [Data] = [] @State private var selectedGIFData: [Data] = [] @State private var selectedVideoData: [Data] = [] var textFieldNotEmpty: Bool { !viewModel.textToPost.isEmpty || !selectedImageData.isEmpty || !selectedGIFData.isEmpty || !selectedVideoData.isEmpty } var body: some View { GeometryReader { _ in ZStack { VStack { contentView commentTextField .padding(.top,5) } } } .ignoresSafeArea(.keyboard, edges: .bottom) .background(Color.containerBackground) .onChange(of: viewModel.focus) { focus in self.focus = focus } .onChange(of: selectedMedia) { _ in loadMedia() } } var contentView: some View { VStack { Spacer().frame(height: 105) ScrollViewReader { scroll in ScrollView(showsIndicators: true) { ForEach(viewModel.comments, id: \.self) { comment in TakeCommentView( comment: comment, viewModel: self.viewModel ) .padding(.horizontal, 10) .id(comment.documentID) } .onChange(of: viewModel.commentAdded) { id in scroll.scrollTo(id, anchor: .bottom) viewModel.commentAdded = nil } } .scrollDismissesKeyboard(.immediately) } } } } extension TakesChatView { var commentTextField: some View { VStack { mediaPreview HStack { TextField("Type your comment", text: $viewModel.textToPost, axis: .vertical) .keyboardType(.twitter) .padding([.leading, .vertical], 6) .focused($focus) PhotosPicker(selection: $selectedMedia, matching: .any(of: [.images, .videos]), photoLibrary: .shared()) { ComposeType.media.image .frame(width: 40, height: 40, alignment: .center) } .onAppear { selectedMedia.removeAll() selectedImageData.removeAll() selectedGIFData.removeAll() selectedVideoData.removeAll() } postButton } .border(.lightGray, width: 1, cornerRadius: 10) .padding([.bottom, .horizontal], 10) } } }
I have tried using .ignoresSafeAres()
, .safeAreaInset()
, and custom keyboard observer functions but to no avail. How do I fix this issue?
