How to detect scroll direction programmatically in SwiftUI ScrollView

I want display or hide items by scroll direction just like safari. Hide something when scroll up, and show it when scroll down.

Solution

  • You would use GeometryReader to get the global position of one in the views in the ScrollView to detect the scroll direction. The code below will print out the current midY position. Dependent on the +/- value you could display or hide other views. 

    struct ContentView: View {

var body: some View {
    ScrollView{
        GeometryReader { geometry in

                Text("Top View \(geometry.frame(in: .global).midY)")
                    .frame(width: geometry.size.width, height: 50)
                    .background(Color.orange)
            }

    }.frame(minWidth: 0, idealWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 0, idealHeight: 0, maxHeight: .infinity, alignment: .center)
}

    }
