I have created a list of clients which get saved in core data. I added some attributes through an AddView and now I am trying to add a new attribute using a different view. In order to do that I understood I need to use the observedObject property wrapper so that it doesn't create a new client but update the existing one. This is the code:
import SwiftUI
import CoreData
struct TopicView: View {
@Environment(\.managedObjectContext) var managedObjectContext
let myStudent: StudentData
@ObservedObject var topic: StudentData
@State var content = ""
@State private var show = false
var body: some View {
Section (header: Text("Topics covered")
.bold()
.padding(.all)
.font(.title3)) {
TextField("Add content", text: $topic.content ?? "") //error here
//Text(topic.content ?? "")
.padding()}
Button ("Save")
{ let newStudent = StudentData(context: self.managedObjectContext)
newStudent.content = self.topic.content
try? self.managedObjectContext.save()
self.topic.content = ""
}.foregroundColor(.blue)
.cornerRadius(10)
.frame(width: 200, height: 50, alignment: /*@START_MENU_TOKEN@*/.center/*@END_MENU_TOKEN@*/)
.font(.headline)
Spacer()
}
}
I get two errors saying: Cannot convert value of type 'Binding<String?>' to expected argument type 'Binding' and Cannot convert value of type 'String' to expected argument type 'Binding<String?>'
It might be an easy fix but as I am still learning I can't get my head around it. Thanks
Thank you all, This is what I found and seems to work:
TextField("Add content", text: Binding(
get: { self.topic.content ?? ""},
set: { self.topic.content = $0 } )
)
