SwiftUI Edit/override all Alerts across the app - swiftui

Question

I have a lot of Alerts in an app due to specific cases of error handling in many screens, and now I need to display the time on any Alert whenever it shows, is there a way to edit/override Alert so it includes the time only on debug?
For example I can achieve this for all prints with:
import Foundation
func print(_ items: Any..., separator: String = " ", terminator: String = "\n"){
#if DEBUG
let df = DateFormatter()
df.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
Swift.print( df.string(from: Date()) )
items.forEach{
Swift.print($0, separator: separator, terminator: terminator)
}
#endif
}
But how can something like Alert be overriden without changing every single instance to another element?

Answer 1

I would recommend you just write a function, with a normal name such as customAlert(...). This makes it clearer that it's custom, and also the function has a good naming scheme, unlike calling it Alert. Alert is ambiguous, and with the exact same parameters, you will get a compiler-time error. Once you have renamed all instances of Alert with customAlert, you will never have to make this change again.
Example:
func customAlert(title: Text, message: Text? = nil, dismissButton: Alert.Button? = nil) -> Alert {
func alertMessage() -> Text? {
#if DEBUG
let df = DateFormatter()
df.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
let date = "Date: \(df.string(from: Date()))"
if let message = message {
return Text("\(date)\n\n") + message
} else {
return Text(date)
}
#else
return message
#endif
}
return SwiftUI.Alert(title: title, message: alertMessage(), dismissButton: dismissButton)
}
Usage:
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var presentAlert = false
var body: some View {
Button("Present alert") {
presentAlert = true
}
.alert(isPresented: $presentAlert) {
customAlert(title: Text("Title"), message: Text("Message"))
}
}
}
