How to Carry an Image Picker Selection to Another View in SwiftUI

When developing an app using SwiftUI, particularly one that involves image handling like Instagram stories or Snapchat, you may find yourself facing the challenge of managing images captured from either the camera or the photo library. In this guide, we’ll discuss how to successfully pass an image selection between views using a streamlined approach.

The Problem

The challenge you’re encountering is the need to effectively bind an image selected from the photo library to another view, such as an editing view (UploadPostView). The design incorporates a custom camera where users can either capture a photo or choose one from their library, but the image selected from the library isn't properly transferred to the next view for editing.

Common Issues

Multiple Instances of ImagePicker: Having multiple instances of the ImagePicker class leads to a state where each instance doesn't recognize the other's selection. Thus, any change in one instance does not reflect in the other.

Conditional Complexity: The existing structure has multiple conditional checks which can lead to fragility in the code and make it difficult to manage.

Handling Optionals: When using optionals extensively, the code can become cluttered and harder to read.

The Solution

To resolve these issues and improve your handling of image selections, we’ll restructure your code by focusing on reusable components and cleaner binding. Below are outlined steps on how to do this.

Step 1: Refactor the Image Picker

Instead of using multiple instances of ImagePicker, create a single reusable PhotosPicker view that handles the selection and automatically passes the result to the bound capturedImage.

Here's an example of a custom PhotosPicker:

Step 2: Update CustomCameraView

Modify your CustomCameraView to utilize the new PhotosPicker instead of instantiating ImagePicker. Here's how your view can look:

Step 3: Clean Up UploadPostView

Finally, simplify your UploadPostView by removing the optional binding. Below is a cleaned-up version:

Conclusion

By restructuring your code to use a singular, reusable PhotosPicker and simplifying the CustomCameraView and UploadPostView, you can effectively manage image selections without facing the pitfalls of complex conditionals and multiple sources of truth. This will enhance your app’s maintainability and provide a smoother user experience when capturing or selecting images.

With these changes, you should now have a clearer, more efficient implementation for handling image selections in your SwiftUI application.
