PressActions modifier - Handle press and release events in SwiftUI

PressActionsModifier.swift

struct PressActions: ViewModifier {
    var onPress: () -> Void
    var onRelease: () -> Void
    
    func body(content: Content) -> some View {
        content
            .simultaneousGesture(
                DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0)
                    .onChanged({ _ in
                        onPress()
                    })
                    .onEnded({ _ in
                        onRelease()
                    })
            )
    }
}


extension View {
    func pressAction(onPress: @escaping (() -> Void), onRelease: @escaping (() -> Void)) -> some View {
        modifier(PressActions(onPress: {
            onPress()
        }, onRelease: {
            onRelease()
        }))
    }
}

Thanks for this, @gabrieltheodoropoulos. Wondering if you or @AdamWhitcroft ever came up with a solution to his question regarding haptics?

Hi @jesseauciello. As it seems other tasks took priority and I totally neglected this. Sorry for that, I'll try to work on it the soonest.

Hi, thanks for the article "Handle Press And Release Events in SwiftUI". I will try to use ButtonStyle or PrimitiveButtonStyle instead. The configuration.isPressed can be used for checking if the button is pressed or released. /Martin

how to implement both on tap gesture and pressAction .

Hi @NyiYe , Are you talking about buttons? Can it work for you to make a custom ButtonStyle and use isPressed? You have the action in the button for the tap gesture. I attach an article "Creating Custom Button Styles In SwiftUI" from Gabriel. (You can maybe explain you needs more?) /Martin

Unfortunately this is cancelling the scroll in a scrollview if you move your finger on the modified view
