Navigation is one of the most basic functionalities of any app, and among the most crucial aspects of our work as developers. From replacing a login screen with our actual logged-in state app, to showing a modal with details of any item inside our app, all of these are navigational challenges we need to tackle in our day-to-day. SwiftUI has introduced a modern approach to navigation in Apple-based platforms.
