iOS SwiftUI: pop or dismiss view programmatically

This example uses the new environment var documented in the Beta 5 Release Notes, which was using a value property. It was changed in a later beta to use a wrappedValue property. This example is now current for the GM version. This exact same concept works to dismiss Modal views presented with the .sheet modifier.

import SwiftUI

struct DetailView: View {
    @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode: Binding<PresentationMode>
    var body: some View {
        Button(
            "Here is Detail View. Tap to go back.",
            action: { self.presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss() }
        )
    }
}

struct RootView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            NavigationLink(destination: DetailView())
            { Text("I am Root. Tap for Detail View.") }
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            RootView()
        }
    }
}
