swift - SwiftUI: How to pop to Root view

Question

Finally now with Beta 5 we can programmatically pop to a parent View. However, there are several places in my App where a View has a "Save" button that concludes a several step process and returns to the beginning. In UIKit, I use popToRootViewController(), but I have been unable to figure out a way to do the same in SwiftUI.

Below is a simple example of the pattern I'm trying to achieve. Any ideas?

import SwiftUI

struct DetailViewB: View {
    @Environment(.presentationMode) var presentationMode: Binding<PresentationMode>
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("This is Detail View B.")

            Button(action: { self.presentationMode.value.dismiss() } )
            { Text("Pop to Detail View A.") }

            Button(action: { /* How to do equivalent to popToRootViewController() here?? */ } )
            { Text("Pop two levels to Master View.") }

        }
    }
}

struct DetailViewA: View {
    @Environment(.presentationMode) var presentationMode: Binding<PresentationMode>
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("This is Detail View A.")

            NavigationLink(destination: DetailViewB() )
            { Text("Push to Detail View B.") }

            Button(action: { self.presentationMode.value.dismiss() } )
            { Text("Pop one level to Master.") }
        }
    }
}

struct MasterView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("This is Master View.")

            NavigationLink(destination: DetailViewA() )
            { Text("Push to Detail View A.") }
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            MasterView()
        }
    }
}

Setting the view modifier isDetailLink to false on a NavigationLink is the key to getting pop-to-root to work. isDetailLink is true by default and is adaptive to the containing View. On iPad landscape for example, a Split view is separated and isDetailLink ensures the destination view will be shown on the right-hand side. Setting isDetailLink to false consequently means that the destination view will always be pushed onto the navigation stack; thus can always be popped off.

Along with setting isDetailLink to false on NavigationLink, pass the isActive binding to each subsequent destination view. At last when you want to pop to the root view, set the value to false and it will automatically pop everything off:

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var isActive : Bool = false

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            NavigationLink(
                destination: ContentView2(rootIsActive: self.$isActive),
                isActive: self.$isActive
            ) {
                Text("Hello, World!")
            }
            .isDetailLink(false)
            .navigationBarTitle("Root")
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView2: View {
    @Binding var rootIsActive : Bool

    var body: some View {
        NavigationLink(destination: ContentView3(shouldPopToRootView: self.$rootIsActive)) {
            Text("Hello, World #2!")
        }
        .isDetailLink(false)
        .navigationBarTitle("Two")
    }
}

struct ContentView3: View {
    @Binding var shouldPopToRootView : Bool

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Hello, World #3!")
            Button (action: { self.shouldPopToRootView = false } ){
                Text("Pop to root")
            }
        }.navigationBarTitle("Three")
    }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
    }
}
