Swift: How to use SF Symbols
When designing a TabView you have the option to add an icon for each tab using a system image, using the systemImage
parameter to Label
:
TabView {
Text("First")
.tabItem {
Label("First", systemImage: "tray")
}
}
In this case we use tray
.

Apple created an app for this, called SF Symbols. Download it from https://developer.apple.com/design/downloads/SF-Symbols.dmg, install it on your Mac and once you open it, you can browse over 1500 symbols and see their name:
