'How to create custom slider by using SwiftUI?
I am able to create a Slider by using SwiftUI but I am not able to change the style of the slider as shown in the image(below).
Problem: I am not able to find any option in SwiftUI to change the slider style.
Note: I want to create this by using SwiftUI only. I already created this slider in Swift by using "https://github.com/daprice/iOS-Tactile-Slider"
I have tried following but it's not the solution :
1. Slider(value: .constant(0.3)).accentColor(Color.white)
2. Slider(value: $age, in: 18...20, step: 1, minimumValueLabel: Text("18"), maximumValueLabel: Text("20")) { Text("") }
3. Slider(value: $age, in: 18...20, step: 1, minimumValueLabel: Image(systemName: "18.circle"), maximumValueLabel: Image(systemName: "20.circle")) { Text("") }
How can I create a slider with the style as shown in the image using SwiftUI only?

In my case, I had to customize the thumb. (ex. screen locker)
I leave an answer for a problem similar one.
LockerSlider.swift
import SwiftUI
struct LockerSlider<V>: View where V : BinaryFloatingPoint, V.Stride : BinaryFloatingPoint {
// MARK: - Value
// MARK: Private
@Binding private var value: V
private let bounds: ClosedRange<V>
private let step: V.Stride
private let length: CGFloat = 50
private let lineWidth: CGFloat = 2
@State private var ratio: CGFloat = 0
@State private var startX: CGFloat? = nil
// MARK: - Initializer
init(value: Binding<V>, in bounds: ClosedRange<V>, step: V.Stride = 1) {
_value = value
self.bounds = bounds
self.step = step
}
// MARK: - View
// MARK: Public
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { proxy in
ZStack(alignment: .leading) {
// Track
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: length / 2)
.foregroundColor(Color(#colorLiteral(red: 0.8039215803, green: 0.8039215803, blue: 0.8039215803, alpha: 1)))
// Thumb
Circle()
.foregroundColor(.white)
.frame(width: length, height: length)
.offset(x: (proxy.size.width - length) * ratio)
.gesture(DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0)
.onChanged({ updateStatus(value: $0, proxy: proxy) })
.onEnded { _ in startX = nil })
}
.frame(height: length)
.overlay(overlay)
.simultaneousGesture(DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0)
.onChanged({ update(value: $0, proxy: proxy) }))
.onAppear {
ratio = min(1, max(0,CGFloat(value / bounds.upperBound)))
}
}
}
// MARK: Private
private var overlay: some View {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: (length + lineWidth) / 2)
.stroke(Color.gray, lineWidth: lineWidth)
.frame(height: length + lineWidth)
}
// MARK: - Function
// MARK: Private
private func updateStatus(value: DragGesture.Value, proxy: GeometryProxy) {
guard startX == nil else { return }
let delta = value.startLocation.x - (proxy.size.width - length) * ratio
startX = (length < value.startLocation.x && 0 < delta) ? delta : value.startLocation.x
}
private func update(value: DragGesture.Value, proxy: GeometryProxy) {
guard let x = startX else { return }
startX = min(length, max(0, x))
var point = value.location.x - x
let delta = proxy.size.width - length
// Check the boundary
if point < 0 {
startX = value.location.x
point = 0
} else if delta < point {
startX = value.location.x - delta
point = delta
}
// Ratio
var ratio = point / delta
// Step
if step != 1 {
let unit = CGFloat(step) / CGFloat(bounds.upperBound)
let remainder = ratio.remainder(dividingBy: unit)
if remainder != 0 {
ratio = ratio - CGFloat(remainder)
}
}
self.ratio = ratio
self.value = V(bounds.upperBound) * V(ratio)
}
}
Demo.swift
import SwiftUI
struct Demo: View {
// MARK: - Value
// MARK: Private
@State private var number = 150000.0
// MARK - View
// MARK: Public
var body: some View {
VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 10) {
Text("Number\n\(number)")
.bold()
.padding(.bottom, 20)
Text("OS Slider")
Slider(value: $number, in: 0...1050000, step: 0.02)
.padding(.bottom, 20)
Text("Custom Slider")
LockerSlider(value: $number, in: 0...1050000, step: 0.02)
.padding(.bottom, 20)
}
.padding(20)
}
}

Here is a good solution for Custom Slider. https://swiftuirecipes.com/blog/custom-slider-in-swiftui
I can confirm that this works. In addition, if you'd want it to be snappy you should add onEnded closure the following
.onEnded({ _ in
// once the gesture ends, trigger `onEditingChanged` again
xOffset = (trackSize.width - thumbSize.width) * CGFloat(percentage)
lastOffset = xOffset
onEditingChanged?(false)
})
