I don’t get it, why i can’t have a simple if/else statement in the view of my body. Basically in this view there will be other views placed into a scrollView, but only if the depending boolean is true – that was the plan. But I get a “Type ‘()’ cannot conform to ‘View'” error message on the “if showFurtherContent {…” line (marked with **). I know, that views aren’t made for logic – but I have no clue, why I can’t put a simple if/else statement in there to create view elements – that should be possible in my opinion. Can someone help me out, how to achieve this? The application will be a chatbot and the boolean for visualizing different “modules” (basically other SwiftUI View files) should let the view place it, if true. Otherwise I can’t figure out, how to dynamically fill a scrollView with different ui elements – the swiftui is currently driving me crazy but plz note: im still learning it but I thought such simple things should be easily possible.

struct ChatBot: View {

@State var _ratio = 60.0;
@State var _start : Bool = false;

@State private var messageText = ""
@State var messages: [String] = [""]
@State public var messageProperty = "Y"

@State private var botWriting = false
@State private var textInputEnabled = false

@ObservedObject var vm = MainMessagesViewModel() //reference to MMVM

@StateObject var cbl = ChatBotVariables()
@State var _case: String = "text"
//&@EnvironmentObject var cbl: ChatBotVariables

@State var showFurtherContent: Bool = false

    initChatbot()
