Mastering Safe Area in SwiftUI

The Safe Area refers to the content space that does not overlap with the navigation bar, tab bar, toolbar, or other views provided by the view controller.

In UIKit, developers need to use safeAreaInsets or safeAreaLayoutGuide to ensure that views are placed in the visible part of the interface.

SwiftUI simplifies the above process thoroughly. Unless developers explicitly request views to break through the limits of the safe area, SwiftUI will try its best to ensure that the views created by the developer are laid out in the safe area. SwiftUI also provides some methods and tools for developers to control the safe area.

This article will explore how to get SafeAreaInsets in SwiftUI, draw views outside the safe area, and modify the safe area of views.
