padding(_:)

Declaration

nonisolated func padding(_ length: CGFloat) -> some View

Parameters

• length:

  The amount, given in points, to pad this view on all edges.

Return Value

A view that’s padded by the amount you specify.

Discussion

Use this modifier to add padding all the way around a view.

VStack {
    Text("Text padded by 10 points on each edge.")
        .padding(10)
        .border(.gray)
    Text("Unpadded text for comparison.")
        .border(.yellow)
}

The order in which you apply modifiers matters. The example above applies the padding before applying the border to ensure that the border encompasses the padded region:

To independently control the amount of padding for each edge, use padding(_:). To pad a select set of edges by the same amount, use padding(_:_:).
