List

Part of the Introduction to SwiftUI section of Coddy's Swift journey. Lesson 31 of 50.

List shows rows in the scrolling, grouped style of the Settings app. It takes a collection and a closure for each row, like ForEach:

List(books) { book in
    Text(book.title)
}

A list can also have fixed rows, and Section groups rows under a header:

List {
    Section("Reading") {
        Text("Dune")
    }
    Section("Finished") {
        ForEach(finished, id: \.self) { title in
            Text(title)
        }
    }
}

Each row can hold any view: an HStack with an icon, text and a Spacer is a typical row.

Challenge

Easy

Show the playlist as a List: one row per song, with the identifier songs on the list. Each row is an HStack with the music.note symbol and the song's name.
