How to navigate to another view in NavigationView without NavigationButton in SwiftUI?

Question

As the questions says I want to navigate to another view without NavigationButton, something like "pushView" and "popView" in UIkit

PresentationButton is correct answer as @Anbu.Karthik said. — Markicevic

@Fogmeister Because I want to do a request to the server when the button is pressed and navigate to the next view after I get the response from the server, but I did not manage how to do that with a NavigationButton, only with Button :( — Sorin Lica

I consider this more like a work-around for a limitation, but it worked for me:

Add a boolean state variable which defines whether the link is active. E.g.:

@State private var showLinkTarget = false

Add an invisible NavigationLink like this:

NavigationLink(destination: LinkTargetView(), isActive: self.$showLinkTarget ) {
   Spacer().fixedSize() 
}

The problem is that this logic only works once in my case

Alternatively use EmptyView instead of Spacer().fixedSize()

If it only works once, did you made sure that you set showLinkTarget to false again on return?
