Hi,
After running the Xcode template "New project > (SwiftUI, SwiftData)" I noticed that there is no insert animation into the list.
The project is a pure vanilla project created from Xcode (Version 16.2 (16C5032a)) and the code is a simple as it gets:
//
// ContentView.swift
//
import SwiftUI
import SwiftData
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext
@Query private var items: [Item]
var body: some View {
NavigationSplitView {
List {
ForEach(items) { item in
NavigationLink {
Text("Item at \(item.timestamp, format: Date.FormatStyle(date: .numeric, time: .standard))")
} label: {
Text(item.timestamp, format: Date.FormatStyle(date: .numeric, time: .standard))
}
}
.onDelete(perform: deleteItems)
}
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) {
EditButton()
}
ToolbarItem {
Button(action: addItem) {
Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus")
}
}
}
} detail: {
Text("Select an item")
}
}
private func addItem() {
withAnimation {
let newItem = Item(timestamp: Date())
modelContext.insert(newItem)
}
}
private func deleteItems(offsets: IndexSet) {
withAnimation {
for index in offsets {
modelContext.delete(items[index])
}
}
}
}
#Preview {
ContentView()
.modelContainer(for: Item.self, inMemory: true)
}
As you see the template's code does have withAnimation inside addItem
but there is no animation. The new added item appears without animation in the the List
Here is a short video. Is this a known bug?
Did you try to specify an animation for the Query
? The following code tells SwiftUI to use .default
animation, and it works for me:
@Query(animation: .default) private var items: [Item]
