Adding unlimited lines in a Text (SwiftUI)


Just figuring out how I can achieve multiple lines of text in a Text. It seems like the Text has the same default as UILabel (one line), but I can't find any function which meets this criteria.

struct ContentView : View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 10) {
            HStack {
                Text("Avocado Toast").font(.system(size: 24))
            }
            // This Text does cut, and I wonder how I can achieve multiple rows
            Text("Ingredients: Avocado, Almond Butter, Bread")
                .font(.system(size: 20))

        }
    }
}

Edit

.lineLimit(X), did the trick. But is it possible to not set a specific amount, for instance. With just a 0?


Solution

  • For wrapping Text in a Form .lineLimit(Int.max) did not work for me. It seems there needs to be some width for it to know when to wrap. I believe the official way is with .fixedSize:

    Text(message)
        .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true)
    

    The documentation states:

    This example shows the effect of fixedSize(horizontal:vertical:) on a text view that is wider than its parent, preserving the ideal, untruncated width of the text view.
