How do I use TextInput for WatchOS in swiftUI

Question

Typically I would use presentTextInputControllerWithSuggestions() to show the TextInput field. But this isn't available in swiftUI because it is a function of WKInterfaceController. Do I have to use the WKInterfaceController for this? I couldn't find anything in the documentation.

Answer 1

This would be done through a TextField in SwiftUI.

Answer 2

You can use extension for View in SwiftUI:

extension View {
    typealias StringCompletion = (String) -> Void
    
    func presentInputController(withSuggestions suggestions: [String], completion: @escaping StringCompletion) {
        WKExtension.shared()
            .visibleInterfaceController?
            .presentTextInputController(withSuggestions: suggestions,
                                        allowedInputMode: .plain) { result in
                
                guard let result = result as? [String], let firstElement = result.first else {
                    completion("")
                    return
                }
                
                completion(firstElement)
            }
    }
}
