macOS toolbar items with image and text in SwiftUI

Question

I'd like to achieve something similar in SwiftUI to what is described in Apple's Human Interface Guidelines about toolbars.

I tried using .toolbar { } but items are too small and NavigationLink doesn't change the selected View. I tried setting ExpandedWindowToolbarStyle() on WindowGroup.

Code:

NavigationView { }
        .toolbar {
            ToolbarItem(placement: ToolbarItemPlacement.automatic) {
                HStack {
                    Text("")
                    NavigationLink(
                        destination: getDestination(forOption: Option.home)) {
                        VStack {
                            Image(systemName: Option.home.iconName)

                            Text("test")
                        }
                        .frame(height: 50)


                    }
                }

            }
        }

current state:

You can use a customizable toolbar and labels.

        .toolbar(id: "Main") {
            ToolbarItem(id: "Sidebar") {
                Button(action: {}) {
                    Label("Sidebar", systemImage: "sidebar.right")
                }
            }
        }

Also it might be possible to use TitleAndIconLabelStyle with MacOS 11.3. I haven't tried it yet.

Thanks but it doesn't provide a solution for embedding the navigation links in toolbar items. I tried a few different solution but with no success

@mikro098 A NavigationLink is just not meant to be within a toolbar. It’s meant for NavigationView.

Super helpful @Stephan Michels! Please notice that giving the toolbar an id is necessary for it to be configurable by the user.
