Show a new View from Button press Swift UI

To show a new view from a button press in SwiftUI, you typically use a navigation stack and navigation link. Here’s how you can achieve that:

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var isShowingNewView = false
    
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            VStack {
                Text("Main View")
                
                // Button to navigate to the new view
                Button("Show New View") {
                    // Set the state to trigger navigation
                    isShowingNewView = true
                }
                
                // Navigation link to the new view
                NavigationLink(
                    destination: NewView(),
                    isActive: $isShowingNewView,
                    label: {
                        EmptyView()
                    })
                    .hidden()
            }
            .navigationTitle("Navigation Example")
        }
    }
}

struct NewView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("New View")
            .navigationTitle("New View")
    }
}

In this example:

We have a ContentView which is embedded in a NavigationView.
When the “Show New View” button is pressed, we set the isShowingNewView state variable to true.
This change in state triggers the NavigationLink to become active, navigating to the NewView.
The NewView contains the content for the new screen.
The navigationTitle modifier is used to set the title for each view.

This pattern allows you to navigate to a new view when a button is pressed in SwiftUI.
