SwiftUI MacOS QuickLook preview of files

Question

I am trying to display a preview of files (like PDF, Pages, Microsoft Docs) in my SwiftUI application for MacOS.

I found Apple's QuickLook framework, which looks perfect for that use. Can I use it in SwiftUI? If I look up the documentation at Apple, I find the QLPreviewController which is a UIViewController.

My approach would, to wrap that UIViewController into a SwiftUI view.. is that the best way? Has anyone tried to do that already?

Summary: how can I display file previews in my SwiftUI MacOS app?

Answer 1

So, I figured it out finally.

I was able to use the QLPreviewView , which generates a preview view for me. I wrapped it inside a NSViewRepresentable and it worked :)
