Code Block swift
struct MyView: View {
		@State private var name: String = ""
		@State private var description: String = ""
		init() {
				/* Override TextEditor background to allow for setting a custom background in SwiftUI */
				UITextView.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear
		}
		var body: some View {
				NavigationView {
						Form {
								Section(header: Text("Details")) {
										TextField("Name", text: self.$name)
										TextEditor(text: self.$description)
												.background(Color(.secondarySystemGroupedBackground))
												/* Set the background to that of the grouped background colour */
								}
						}
						.navigationBarTitle("New Thing")
				}
		}
}
