How to pass the initial value for a binding property? - swiftui

Question

I have this code:
struct MyView: View {
#State var fieldValue = 0
init(fieldValue:Int) {
self.fieldValue = fieldValue
}
var numberProxy: Binding<String> {
Binding<String>(
get: {
String(fieldValue)
},
set: {
fieldValue = Int($0) ?? 0
}
)
}
var body: some View {
TextField("", text: numberProxy,
onEditingChanged: { status in
},
onCommit:{
})
}
I call tis from another view with:
MyView(200)
but MyView always shows 0
How do I make the passed value show on what is a binding property?

Answer 1

This init is basically a dead end but it seems to be what you are asking for
struct MyViewParent: View {
var body: some View {
VStack{
//You will never receive anything back with this init
MyView(200)
}
}
}
struct MyView: View {
//State is a source of truth it will never relay something to a previous View
#State var fieldValue: Int //= 0 //Another init - Apple recommended
///Not a good way to init
init(_ fieldValue:Int) {
//You can init State here but there is no connection with the previous View
//This is not recommended per Apple documentation State should only accessed from a View body
//https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/state
self._fieldValue = State(initialValue: fieldValue)
}
//Binding is a 2-way connection
//https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/binding
var numberProxy: Binding<String> {
Binding<String>(
get: {
String(fieldValue)
},
set: {
fieldValue = Int($0) ?? 0
}
)
}
var body: some View {
VStack{
//Shows that your proxy updates the State
//Resets if a letter is put into the textfield.
Text(fieldValue.description)
TextField("", text: numberProxy, onEditingChanged: { status in }, onCommit:{ })
}
}
}
With this init you get the changes
struct MyViewParent: View {
#State var value: Int = 0
var body: some View {
VStack{
//Receives the changes from MyView
Text(value.description)
MyView(fieldValue: $value)
}
}
}
struct MyView: View {
//Binding is a 2-way connection
#Binding var fieldValue: Int
//Binding is a 2-way connection
//https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/binding
var numberProxy: Binding<String> {
Binding<String>(
get: {
String(fieldValue)
},
set: {
fieldValue = Int($0) ?? 0
}
)
}
var body: some View {
VStack{
//Shows that your proxy updates this View's Binding and parent State
//Resets to 0if a letter is put into the textfield.
Text(fieldValue.description)
TextField("", text: numberProxy, onEditingChanged: { status in }, onCommit:{ })
}
}
}

Use State(initialValue:).
struct MyViewTest55: View {
#State private var fieldValue = 0
init(fieldValue: Int) {
self._fieldValue = State(initialValue: fieldValue)
}
var numberProxy: Binding<String> {
Binding<String>(
get: {
String(fieldValue)
},
set: {
fieldValue = Int($0) ?? 0
}
)
}
var body: some View {
TextField("", text: numberProxy,
onEditingChanged: { status in
},
onCommit:{
})
}
}
