Overview

Instead of reinventing the entire navigation stack just to control its transitions, this library ships with a simple modifier that can be applied directly to SwiftUI's very own first-party navigation components.

The Basics

iOS 13+

NavigationView {
  // ...
}
.navigationViewStyle(.stack)
.customNavigationTransition(.slide)

iOS 16+

NavigationStack {
  // ...
}
.customNavigationTransition(.slide)

The API is designed to resemble that of built-in SwiftUI Transitions for maximum familiarity and ease of use.

You can apply custom animations just like with standard SwiftUI transitions:

.customNavigationTransition(
    .fade(.in).animation(.easeInOut(duration: 0.3))
)

You can combine them:

.customNavigationTransition(
    .slide.combined(with: .fade(.in))
)

And you can dynamically choose between transitions based on logic:

.customNavigationTransition(
    reduceMotion ? .fade(.in).animation(.linear) : .slide(.vertical)
)

Transitions

The library ships with some standard transitions out of the box:

• default
• fade(_:)
• slide(axis:)

In addition to these, you can create fully custom transitions in just a few lines of SwiftUI-like code!

struct Swing: NavigationTransitionProtocol {
    var body: some NavigationTransitionProtocol {
        Slide(axis: .horizontal)
        MirrorPush {
            let angle = 70.0
            let offset = 150.0
            OnInsertion {
                ZPosition(1)
                Rotate(.degrees(-angle))
                Offset(x: offset)
                Opacity()
                Scale(0.5)
            }
            OnRemoval {
                Rotate(.degrees(angle))
                Offset(x: -offset)
            }
        }
    }
}

The Demo app showcases some of these transitions in action.

Interactivity

Choose from three interactivity options: .disabled, .edgePan, or .contentPan:

.customNavigationTransition(.slide, interactivity: .disabled) // disables back swipes

.contentPan back-deploys iOS 26 full-screen pop gestures all the way to iOS 13:

.customNavigationTransition(.slide, interactivity: .contentPan) // works on iOS 13-26!

This also works while maintaining the default system transition:

.customNavigationTransition(.default, interactivity: .contentPan) // works on iOS 13-26!

Installation
