How to make SwiftUI button with buttonStyle expand to full width
Table of Contents
SwiftUI got many beautiful built-in button styles. One problem you might get is it isn't obvious how to control the size of it.
The following are the four built-in button styles.
If you try to make a full-width button using .frame(maxWidth: .infinity), you will see that the button styling isn't respecting the new frame and show at its ideal size.
VStack {
Button("Plain") {}
.buttonStyle(.plain)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
.border(.pink)
Button("Bordered") {}
.buttonStyle(.bordered)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
.border(.pink)
Button("Bordered Prominent") {}
.buttonStyle(.borderedProminent)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
.border(.pink)
Button("Borderless") {}
.buttonStyle(.borderless)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
.border(.pink)
}
.font(.title)We try to expand a button to the full width with .frame(maxWidth: .infinity), but the button style doesn't follow the frame (pink border).
This is because the frame modifier creates a new frame around the button (as dictated by the pink border), which happens after the button style is applied.

To change a button width, we need to apply .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) before we apply a button style.
To do that
- We create a button with an initializer that allows us to **modify the button's content, **
init(action:label:). - And put
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)there.
Button {
} label: {
Text("Bordered Prominent")
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
}
.buttonStyle(.borderedProminent)Since .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) appllied before the button style, the style will respect the specify frame.

We can use a frame modifier to make a view appear to be full width and height, but the result might not be what you expected.
SwiftUIIn Swift 5.5, we can apply button style using leading dot syntax, .buttonStyle(.plain), instead of a full name of a concreate type, .buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle()). Let's see how we can make our custom button style support this.
