NavigationBackport VS STTextView

still you can use it via this library by default it suppourt iOS 14+ https://github.com/johnpatrickmorgan/NavigationBackport

My team is working on updating our SwiftUI app’s navigation to use this package: https://github.com/johnpatrickmorgan/NavigationBackport

Pretty much the same as you, just that I bit the bullet and didn't give up until I managed to get something decent on the navigation part using native SwiftUI tools. NavigationBackport + SwiftUINavigator has been surprisingly tolerable as long as you don't have a need for too many modal views or complex deeplink flows.

If you want to do it the SwiftUI way, you can try using the NavigationStack backport which gives you support all the way back to iOS 14. I am using it right now and it's ok with the addendum that you need to do some gymnastics to bubble up a navigation destination from one of the sub-sub-sub children of the view owning the navigation stack.

There’s a back port of the nav view at https://github.com/johnpatrickmorgan/NavigationBackport

For the educational purpose of modern TextKit and NSTextView-like implementation, you can check out https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/STTextView that is modern re-implementation of the text view.

Out of curiosity, what framework/library/solution are you using for your text editor? I've been researching this space for a while and syntax highlighting text editors are rare and sparse.

There is this: https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/STTextView for textkit2, but the author ended up writing his own text input client.

How did you do about providing autocomplete, etc?

Thanks!
