## Discussion

Discussion Use tabItem(_:) to configure a view as a tab bar item in a TabView. The example below adds two views as tabs in a TabView: struct View1: View {     var body: some View {         Text("View 1")     } }

struct View2: View {     var body: some View {         Text("View 2")     } }

struct TabItem: View {     var body: some View {         TabView {             View1()                 .tabItem {                     Label("Menu", systemImage: "list.dash")                 }

View2()                 .tabItem {                     Label("Order", systemImage: "square.and.pencil")                 }         }     } }
