Using NavigationLink in Menu (SwiftUI)

by

NavigationLink should be inside NavigationView hierarchy. The Menu is outside navigation view, so put buttons inside menu which activate navigation link placed inside navigation view, eg. hidden in background.

Here is a demo of possible approach (tested with Xcode 12.1 / iOS 14.1)

demo

struct DemoNavigateFromMenu: View {
    @State private var navigateTo = ""
    @State private var isActive = false
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Menu {
                Button("item1") {
                    self.navigateTo = "test1"
                    self.isActive = true
                }
                Button("item2") {
                    self.navigateTo = "test2"
                    self.isActive = true
                }
            } label: {
                Text("open menu")
            }
            .background(
                NavigationLink(destination: Text(self.navigateTo), isActive: $isActive) {
                    EmptyView()
                })
        }
    }
}
