CUIExpandableButton
A SwiftUI button that expands to reveal more content.
CUIExpandableButton is part of the Crystal UI framework (under developement). This framework is working to bring a suite of UI components that utilize SwiftUI Material for it's background element.
Usage
To create a simple CUIExpandableButton, you can use an SF Symbol for your icon.
import CUIExpandableButton
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
@State
var expanded: Bool = false
var body: some View {
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded,
sfSymbolName: "gearshape.fill"
) {
Text("My content")
}
}
}
Customization
Icon
If you'd like more control over the look of the button, you can provide a custom icon for the button instead.
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded
) {
Image("icon")
.resizable()
.aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
.frame(width: 26, height: 26)
} content: {
Text("My content")
}
Additionally, you can hide the icon altogether. When hiding the icon, it's a good idea to show a title to prevent an empty button in collapsed state. Though it is possible for the button to empty.
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded,
sfSymbolName: "bell.fill"
) {
Text("Button with hidden icon")
.frame(width: 200)
.padding(8)
}
.hideIcon(true)
.title("More Info")
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded,
sfSymbolName: "bell.fill"
) {
Text("Button that hides icon when expanded.")
.frame(width: 200)
.padding(8)
}
.hideIcon(expanded)
.title("New Message")
Actions
You can add an action that's triggered when the button is expanded or collapsed using the built in controls.
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded,
sfSymbolName: "bell.fill"
) {
Text("Additional actions can be performed when expanding/collpasing")
.frame(width: 200)
.padding(8)
} action: {
print("Button was pressed")
}
Title & Subtitle
The button provides options to show a title and subtitle.
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded,
sfSymbolName: "envelope.fill"
) {
Text("My content")
.frame(width: 200)
.padding(8)
}
.title("Inbox")
.subtitle("5 unread messages")
These can also be enabled only for specific states of the button.
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded4,
sfSymbolName: "mappin"
) {
Text("My content")
.frame(width: 200)
.padding(8)
}
.title(expanded ? "Visit SF!" : nil)
.subtitle(expanded ? "Top attractions" : nil)
Header Only Options
There are additional customization options for customizing the header when the button is expanded.
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded,
sfSymbolName: "exclamationmark.triangle.fill"
) {
Text("Take up the full space when expanded.")
.frame(width: 200)
.padding(8)
)
.hideHeader()
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded,
sfSymbolName: "exclamationmark.triangle.fill"
) {
Text("Hide the separator.")
.frame(width: 200)
.padding(8)
)
.hideSeperator()
.title(expanded ? "Alert!" : nil)
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded,
sfSymbolName: "exclamationmark.triangle.fill"
) {
Text("Hide the close button to control how it's dismissed yourself.")
.frame(width: 200)
.padding(8)
)
.hideCloseButton()
.title(expanded ? "Alert!" : nil)
.subtitle("You need to take action!")
Custom Color
You can opt to add a color background instead of the default material background. However, the material is also rendered beneath. This allows a transparent background to be added that results in a tinted effect.
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded,
sfSymbolName: "doc.fill"
) {
Text("Tinting the background can help the button fit into your UX design.")
.frame(width: 200)
.padding(8)
)
.backgroundColor(.blue.opacity(0.15))
The standard foreground color modifier can be applied as well to color the elements of the button.
CUIExpandableButton(
expanded: $expanded,
sfSymbolName: "doc.fill"
) {
Text("You can use other standard modifiers too!")
.frame(width: 200)
.padding(8)
.foregroundColor(nil)
)
.standardLayout(title: "Color", subtitle: "Customization")
.foregroundColor(.yellow)
Other Feature
It is worth noting that CUIExpandableButton fully supports dynamic type variants, dark mode, and the right to left layout direction.

Future Plans
- Support for CocoaPods and Carthage are being considered for future releases.
- More test coverage and test types.
- Customizations specific for Mac and Catalyst.
- Extracting some other useful views into their own packages.
