I have regrettably little time to devote to SwiftUI. I explore when I can, although I wish I were a lot further in that journey.

Here’s my latest go, where I’m looking to build a modal presentation. Today is the first time I’ve been able to play with Modal, the storage type for a modal presentation. I tied it together with an isPresented state, but I’m wondering if I’ve done this all wrong.

I can’t help but think there’s a better way to do this. I’m using a text button for “Done” instead of a system-supplied item, so it won’t be automatically internationalized. Nor, can I find any specialty “Done” item in SFSymbols. When looking at Apple’s samples, such as Working with UI Controls, I see the same Text("Done") . While I know that Text elements are automatically localized should resources be available, is SwiftUI providing us with any core dictionary of terms?

I think using the isPresented state in the code below may be too clunky. I’d think that there would be a more direct way to coordinate a modal item. Any advice and guidance will be greatly welcomed.

I remain stuck in Mojave for most of my work, although I put an install of Catalina on a laptop. Although you can build proper SwiftUI apps using the beta Xcode, without the preview (and I’ve had no luck finding a secret default to enable it under Mojave) makes the experience way slower than working in a playground.

I’m hoping to dive next into Interfacing with UIKit.
