Views with Generic types

[holiday]

Is there any future intention to add the ability to inspect generic view types? Views like these are used heavily in our code for reusability and we cannot inspect them at the moment.

public struct ExampleView<Content: View, Element: Equatable & Identifiable>: View {
    public var body: some View {
        ForEach(elements) { element in
            content(element)
        }
    }
}

Hey! There should be no issues with inspecting views like that.

Traditionally there should be an extension ExampleView: Inspectable { }, and then you can either unwrap it explicitly via inspect().view(ExampleView<MyView>.self) or use find(MyView.self) to jump over the ExampleView inspection call all along. Note that MyView should also conform to the Inspectable protocol

Let me give that a shot! That worked, thanks a lot! 👍🏽

But a lot of time, you don't know, or it's hard to know what Content looks like

ExampleView {
    if a {
         Text("Hello World!")
           .background {...}
           ..
    }
    else {
         ...
   }
}

Then you would need to do inspect().view(ExampleView<_ConditionalContent<ModifiedContent<ModifiedContent...>
I don't think it's scalable enough.
