Are there better alternatives to :Any for a swiftui struct value? - swiftui

Question

I'm trying to implement an app where the response from a server call is used to build a view. The view can be one of 5 or 6 different types, depending on the data that comes back, all of which have different requirements for the shape and type of the data that gets passed in to them. Whats the best way to define the struct/class for the incoming data? The only way I've been able to make it work so far is by using :Any as the data type
This is the broad strokes of what I'm trying to do...
struct PageViewData {
type: String
id: Int
viewData: Any
}
struct MyViewA: View {
type: String
id: Int
viewData: MyViewADataShape
var body: some View {
//contents here
}
}
struct MyViewADataShape {
navigation: [NavigationItem]
cta: String
}
struct MyViewB: View {
type: String
id: Int
viewData: MyViewBDataShape
var body: some View {
//contents here
}
}
struct MyViewBDataShape {
pageTitle: String
author: String
wordCount: Int
}
var serverResponse: PageViewData = fetchDataFromServer()
if(serverResponse.type == "A") {
MyViewA(serverResponse)
}
if(serverResponse.type == "B") {
MyViewB(serverResponse)
}

As Yonat mentioned, an enum works well here:
struct PageView: View {
enum Response {
case something(DecodableResponseA)
case orOther(DecodableResponseB)
}
// if you were using id + type to determine what your response was, they are
// unnecessary now, but only you know what you were using them for
let id: Int
let response: Response
var body: some View {
self.viewForResponse(response)
}
private func viewForResponse(_ response: Response) -> some View {
switch response {
case .something(let somethingResponse): return AnyView(SomethingView())
case .orOther(let orOtherResponse): return AnyView(OtherView())
}
}
}
