SwiftUI Transition not happening-CodePudding

I am new to SwiftUI and I am trying to use the .transition, but for some reason no transition happens.

You can see the code below:

View

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
  @ObservedObject var viewModel = ViewModel()
  
  var body: some View {
    if self.viewModel.model.show {
      Text("Showing")
        .padding()
    } else {
      Text("Not Showing")
        .padding()
        .transition(.asymmetric(insertion: .scale, removal: .opacity))
    }
    
    Button {
      self.viewModel.show()
    } label: {
      Text("Tap to change")
    }
  }
}

ViewModel

class ViewModel: ObservableObject {
  @Published private(set) var model = Model()
  
  func show() {
    self.model.toggleShow()
  }
}

Model

struct Model {
  var show: Bool = true
  
  mutating func toggleShow() {
    self.show.toggle()
  }
}

When I tap the button the text changes but no transition occurs.

I feel like I am missing something trivial here.

Can anyone please assist?

CodePudding user response：

You need an animation (to animate transition) and a container (which performs actual transition, because default implicit Group does not do that).

Here is fixed part of code (tested with Xcode 13.2 / iOS 15.2)

*Note:Preview > Debug > Slow Animation for better visibility

var body: some View {
    VStack {                            // << this !!
        if self.viewModel.model.show {
            Text("Showing")
                .padding()
        } else {
            Text("Not Showing")
                .padding()
                .transition(.asymmetric(insertion: .scale, removal: .opacity))
        }
    }
    .animation(.default, value: self.viewModel.model.show)  // << here !!

    Button {
        self.viewModel.show()
    } label: {
        Text("Tap to change")
    }
}
