How to Detect Changes in @ State Variables in SwiftUI using @ Binding

SwiftUI is a powerful framework that makes it easy to build user interfaces for iOS applications. However, when working with @ State and @ Binding variables, you may encounter challenges related to tracking state changes across different views. One common issue developers face is how to get notified when a @ State variable changes as a result of changes made in a child view. In this guide, we will address this issue and show you how to effectively track changes in @ State variables using the onChange modifier.

The Problem

In the example below, we have a main view (ContentView) that contains a button to show an alert. This alert is implemented in a child view (AnotherView) that allows the user to change the value of a string variable. However, the main view does not get notified of any changes when the string variable is updated, which can lead to unexpected behavior.

Example Code

Main View – ContentView

Child View – AnotherView

The Issue

When a user taps the "Dismiss" button in the AnotherView, the textToProcess variable is updated, but the ContentView does not receive this update as expected. This can be frustrating for developers who wish to capture and react to such changes dynamically.

The Solution: Use the onChange Modifier

To effectively track changes to the textToProcess variable in your main view, you will want to leverage the onChange modifier, which provides a handy way to respond to changes for a given state. Here’s how to implement it in your main view:

Updated Main View with onChange

What Changed?

Added onChange Modifier: The onChange(of: textToProces) modifier allows you to specify a closure that gets executed whenever textToProces changes. The value parameter contains the new value of textToProces after the change.

Benefits of Using onChange

Immediate Feedback: You can react instantly to changes in the @ State variable, executing actions such as logging, updating UI components, or triggering additional functions.

Increased Clarity: Your code becomes cleaner and more understandable since it clearly indicates how state changes affect your views.

Conclusion

Using the onChange modifier in SwiftUI is a straightforward yet powerful way to observe changes in your @ State variables. This not only helps ensure proper communication between child and parent views but also enhances the overall interactivity and responsiveness of your application. By following the approach demonstrated in this guide, you can make your SwiftUI applications more dynamic and user-friendly.

Remember, capturing changes in state is crucial for building a responsive UI, so make sure to implement this feature in your SwiftUI applications for better control and functionality.
