Description

In iOS 15, UIButton got some useful configuration properties:

• subtitle
• titlePadding
• imagePlacement, imagePadding, imageReservation
• showsActivityIndicator

In SwiftUI, all of these things have to be built from scratch, even if the resulting button is otherwise just one of the built-in button styles. If I wanted a .borderedProminent button with either a trailing image or an activity indicator, I’ll have to recreate it from scratch and throw away the conveniences SwiftUI provides me.

Keywords
